Our apps don't use follow lists.
Discussion
The goal should be apps that are interesting and fun to use, and interactive and social, all day, every day... without logging in. Apps based around follow lists are designed to _force you to login_. This is a legacy method to collect your usage data and control access, to get around things like VPNs (which are increasingly blocked).
Wanna read an interesting, relevant-to-you feed?
Don't log in.
Wanna zap someone, comment, highlight, or react to their note?
Don't log in.
Wanna checkout entire books or magazines, share documents or videos, and even download them to your local device, to read later?
Don't log in.
Just don't log in, and do it, anyway.
Here's how you onboard people to Nostr:
Give them a hyperlink to click or an app to download. They open it. They use it. They enjoy it. But they do not login.
I mean, you can devise as many mechanisms as you want to separate noise from signal. One of the biggest beauties of nostr is that it's one of its own kind. One example is how people can't delete their own publications pretty easily. Limits allow for imagination and beauty to thrive and this is what nostr craves as a whole.
There was a client i thought that took an approach to generate a new keypair and burn after each event. So like an anon client kinda you didnt login cause it was pointless.
Not exactly what you are talking about and have no idea what the client capability was.
cant remember name nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ug4n6q3 by chance do you remmeber this?
Yeah, I've used that before. I think they use PoW to keep spammers from using it. I was thinking of something like that for anon emojis.
