more centralization built into the protocol, not good for nostr, decentralized media should be a higher priority
Nip-98 / nostr.build account integration is now supported on Damus!!!
This takes things beyond Twitter/X/Facebook and other media platforms. Now you own your own media!
If you have a nostr.build account, all media uploaded will go directly to your account, meaning they are hidden from Free View, you can manage in folders, download, review and delete it when you want! (Available in Amethyst also)!
Thank you nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w , nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s ! Taking things to the next level…. nostr:note1qv6ezwzcn9af94hg8ufwc4su3cd7uew6ze7arkdequf8t5xpuapq9wt63f
Discussion
Explain. How is nip98 leading to more centralization for the protocol? I’ll wait 🐶🐾🫡
increasing intergration and reliance on central http sources
Go ahead and host your own “http source” nothing stops you to use the same integrations. It’s agnostic to the source, it’s part of the protocol. In the same way as authentication to relay. I still don’t see your point of view, please provide more information 🐶🐾🫡
sure and if i reference the http source in notes and that http source disappears? like every note does now for images etc?
or what if the http source just deletes the images or decides to block npubs? say because they dont like their politics? we are still at square one of being censored with nostr
Same as any relay. So my point stands. This doesn’t lead to more centralization, it’s the same level as before or greater decentralization if you think further and deeper. Nostr is still WIP so don’t judge based on what you see today, instead write a sustainable and efficient proposal and make a NIP. It’s easy to judge from the sidelines, and I am guilty of that sometimes too 🐶🐾🫡
not the same as any relay as the content on relays is not tied to them, we dont and shouldn't address notes as http://relay.com/noteetc inside notes
Copy image to multiple hosts, host your own, many options 🐶🐾🫡
the problem is notes use static addressing for media
Just my two sats:
- Regarding authentication of images, all notes show who wrote the note anyway, nip98 just uses the data to authenticate.
- Notes, links, etc. can still be censored by an app, service, anything, based on the writer, content, link, etc. look at the previous censor dramas with Amethyst and Primal, no nip98 needed! Twitter censors and you have nowhere else to go…
- Regarding the static address, that is true of any html link. Any image server, news outlet, website, can change the content of that link. Including other social media platforms.. The solution would be to use a trusted link, or something with specific html link authentication.
- Supporting nip98 allows for nostr.build and other clients to interact better with each other, more reliably, openly. True it can open to more censorship, but it will open even more openness! For every image or note someone wants to censor, there is someone that wants to see it.
