I wrote a short blog about the limitations of science, it's illusion of certainty, and come intentional misrepresentations.
This piece is entirely based on my personal observations and understanding. I just wanted to get these thoughts out of my head.

I highly recommend Habla.news for new users looking to start blogging. It offers a fantastic experience with an impressive design—arguably the best on Nostr & provides a premium experience across all devices.
I’m seriously considering making it my primary blogging platform. It’s not just because it’s built with Nostr; it genuinely offers a better solution with almost zero compromises.
Try: Habla.news
I second this.
We need an instance of the nostr blogging software which highlights non-bitcoin content. I keep talking to people about how amazing and powerful Nostr is as an open Medium.com and showing them YakiHonne, highlighter, and habla. They get turned off not by the apps, design, idea of a protocol, or anything like that. They get turned off because all they see are bitcoin posts. They think, this isn’t for me.
It’s like porn on Twitter, there is so much of it, but you only find the porn if you’re looking for it. We need at least one nostr blogging app which can highlight other content with lots of diverse audiences. That way we can get them on board without them thinking, this place is not for me.
We also need a paywall feature; it’s a significant market opportunity. If we can provide a decent profile blog page with built-in monetization options, every creator can use it as an alternative.
From my experience with paywall services, I’ve seen how creative people can be when given a simple paywall and the ability to upload whatever they want. I plan to restart that service.
I see a great opportunity for a blogging platform that includes a paywall, zaps, uncensorship, and anonymity. 🤔
Yeah I agree. We’ve got pieces to make it all work but they’re not put together well I a way that works for users and creators.
And for my trolls out there, the bitcoin payments part via zaps, lightning/cashu etc is fine, it’s the overwhelming bitcoin content that drives people away.
I think tags/hashtags, combined with the Web of Trust (WOT), can effectively address content categorization across notes, long forms, and other events.
Clients should encourage the use of tags/hashtags by recommending related ones, allowing users to add them with a single click when posting notes. Recently, I experimented with lightweight generative on-device models (like BERT) that categorize text locally or suggest hashtags.
Topical relays are the solution.
Have you tried nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q as well?
I haven’t recently but it was quite good few months back.
