pv 😎 Update to the Iris global feed for better curation 🤙

"Iris accepts events from users that your social network has interacted with (actions such as follow, like, reply etc. that refer to the npub in question) from your 2nd degree follows and 3rd degree follows that have five or more followers.

For example, if you have a follower and let's call your follower a spammer: If nobody has ever liked, followed, replied or interacted in any (nostr event) way with the spammer then you will not see it.

Your network starts from you and who you follow and goes forward from there. Who follows you is not automatically part of your network unless any interaction happens.

The result is that you get less spam."

You can always Block (private) or Report (public) any user whose feed you don't want to see.

Would it be feasible to just make these options configurable so we can play around with the numbers to get a better feed?

Also with search?

If you're able to gather this data in a way that the user doesn't notice it, I've got another idea:

Would it be possible to compare your own follower list to the follower list of another user in the moment you have to decide wheter a boost is helpful at all?

Background:

Sometimes I see the same note boostet again and again and get the feeling that half of these boosts are sent to >90% of the same followers.

Clients could prevent showing the same note boosted again and again within maybe 10 minutes, but that would be just another first aid kit...

this seems like an overly tight bubble creation

inbefore: Feed filtering artists :)

I see future nostr clients to have multiple feeds like we have tabs in browsers today. Each tab running some nicely tuned filters (some even shared in the communities and updated) while you could still open a new global feed and start sculpting a new filter any time you want to see what's out there in the noise.

Would be also great if you allowed users to choose to which relays we write events to and from which we read them. Similar to what Snort has.

Won't this create echo chambers tho?

Which is fine, people can use other clients, but still worth considering if this is a desired outcome.

💯💯💯 freedom of listening is the new freedom of speech.

“freedom of speech doesn’t mean we have to listen”

I’m going to use that every time some whiney bonehead yells “censorship!” when users want to filter what they see in their feeds.

instead of a follows you notification on their profile, will there be a 'they can't see you" notification?

This is the way.

configurable would be nice, i cant see any replies here

"We love free speech and hate censorship" to "Report and ban the heretic!" in less than a week, incredible
