Features:

-Replies from (non-forum) Nostr users are also visible on the forum, pulled from the Relays.

-This is like a Combo of Reddit/Twitter into one

Perks:

-You can get Discovery and the topic focused conversation like a forum,

-But keep your voice, brand, independence, and followers like a regular Nostr client.

More Benefits:

-Content is organized by topic

-Moderators can filter spam

-New users can be heard

Open Ecosystem:

-Open Source

-Forums can federate with each other, like a CDN.

-ANY encryption keys work.

-Ethereum wallets can talk to Nostr users, and vica-versa. Rather than view this as hostile competition, instead think of this as increasing Nostr's reach. And the number of people rejecting Big Tech goes up.. just like your followers..

This actually sounds amazing!

Great news! I'd also add that https://forum.simplifiedprivacy.com now supports multi-signing similar to other Spasm instances, allowing users to sign the same message with different private keys and different messaging protocols and send it to different networks, while still having the same deterministic Spasm ID, meaning that all reactions and replies can be properly chained to the parent event regardless of the network they came from.

Why would anybody sign a message with multiple keys? For example, you want to get benefits from different ecosystems. Non-unique usernames can be fetched from Nostr meta events (kind 0), while unique usernames can be fetched from blockchain-based NFT-powered naming services like ENS. Nostr users can follow you on Nostr, while Ethereum users can follow you on Lens, Farcaster, and other Ethereum-based social media platforms.

How is this built? Is there any code which is open source?

Yes, Spasm is open source. It has been in development since 2021 and it's currently the most advanced generation of decentralized social media. You can find all the links at the official website https://spasm.network

Correct me if I am wrong, but the forum that this thread is talking about is not running on Spasm.

SimplifiedPrivacy runs a Spasm-powered forum, you can read the same thread on its website, as well as on other federated Spasm instances, with replies from both Spasm and Nostr networks.
