I need a word for when you're just friends and interact with each other. You don't follow each other, but rather you're _______.

Is the word just friends? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Maybe connection. We could easily ditch follower counts and start thinking in terms of reach. This person has little reach and that person has very wide reach. It’s a simple way to lower the ego and ditch visible counts.

Connection is good. Having a number for how many genuine connections you have with people, I think would be the best metric.

why put a number on it?

Good question. I dunno. Only the vain count their friends in real life.

Exactly. Ditch the numbers. Use qualitative labels instead.

you don't have one friend in your group who has a one way connection with 10,000 people. why are we doing that on nostr?

One way connections are such a social media platform thing, with all the influencers and parasocial relationships.

We have a chance to make real connections and communities. It would be a waste to centralize around a few big personalities that everyone subscribes to.

nostr only did because it copied twitter and we didn't have algos. the algos are coming

Algos already here. We copied too much.

I'm trying to develop the algos. Human algos that just make common sense.

Give me a feed of people I like to talk to. No one does that yet.

The friend feed.

How does it work

it ranks posts based on your user lists. anyone on your lists helps curate your feed
