Nostr is my community, tho.
Scammers aren't the community
No, but I didn't care for the differentiation.
the freedumbs relay cult want to blame users for being gullible, when part of the reason why these scammers are here is because of the freedumb relays, and the low cost of the operation.
no, the real blame lies with the brainwashed freedumb cult aNoNyMoUs patsies that make up most of nostr's dev in-crowd and as such they place zero priority on paid relay services run by honorable relay operators and all of the necessary things that they need, are, because of this culture, unavailable.
nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h has many times talked about how hard it is to communicate *privately* with his customers because DMs are broken and DMs are broken because nobody cares about actually protecting privacy when it can be done easily. half the relays don't even do auth or ACLs properly.
it's irritating, and double irritating to hear this kind of blame-the-victim chatter from people.
you cunts are just as guilty as the people you enable. how about that?
Yeah, keep this stuff off of relays.
If you see this on TheForest 🌲, please @ me.
i'm working on a work-around, also, for the lack of DMs that affects paid relay operators who have an incentive to keep their customers, unlike the free relays who are receiving money from sponsors to keep up the freedumb services so that they can be spammed to hell.
anyone who has read half of the base NIP specs would have run across the concept of not sending messages to people who haven't authed to the key of one of the pubkeys named in an event. really simple. somehow when i showed up 18 months ago nobody had picked up on this and actually implemented it.
and the reason is, they are all hypnotised by the influencoors and their aNoNyMoUs powered brainwashing to not even consider the idea that nostr relay operators are not all going to be the kind of privacy violators that characterize the majority of internet service providers (if they aren't already known recipients of funding from spook agencies).
some of us have been using the internet for social networking since long before facebook. people who offer such services or are running them for a community tend to be quite diligent about spam control and privacy protection.
the complacency of most nostr rockstars about privacy is so freakin annoying. and then after you hear them talk about not wanting to be doxxed by authing in the next sentence they are complaining about adoption.
oh, no connection between these things, i'm sure.
Hey, what about something really simple, like these? I did a sort of "protected" version of it, by only displaying them for whoever is logged in, but anyone can actually see them on the relays or by logging in npub-only.
They're obscure, but not hidden or encrypted. Relays could just agree to only serve them up for the sender or receiver.
Or were you thinking something fancier?
yes, the relay would refuse to send it to anyone not authed to the relevant npubs in the event. kind 1's specifically, so they also show up on your feed, but also have some tag that lets you filter it out or in.
the purpose of it i envision mainly for relay operators to reliably message subscribers, no matter what client they are using
