Announcing "subreddits" on Nostr
https://satellite.earth/n/satellite/npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj
Hey everyone — my initial implementation of the NIP-172 draft proposal for Reddit-style moderated communities is now live on Satellite!
Want to see an example?
Check out n/satellite - a nostr community I've just created for Satellite-specific questions, feature requests, etc.
Do you have an idea for a community for which you'd be willing to take on the role of founder/moderator?
You just need to decide on a name and fill out the info for banner image, description, and rules. I'm working on creating a directory of communities, but for now, please drop a link to your new community as a reply to this post.
If we can position nostr as a credible alternative to reddit it could be huge.
Here's some screenshots:
This is literally saying "I want more censorship, let's join here where one person decides the law for everyone in the sub."
The ones making sub want the power and control over others to decide what they can say and share.
Pathetic.
Ill be blocking anyone involved with this as I see it.
We had an in depth discussion with Stuart on this topic on The Bitcoin Lobby. I’d encourage you to listen before you rush to judgment.
Yeah. I got to the part about white lists and it just confirms what I'm saying...
No thanks.
Again, one person or a small grp of people should not be controlling what is posted or who can post in say... n/weed....
You are for freedom, or not.
Can already start your own community with a hashtag on nostr.
Shouting into the void with my own hashtag and letting folks join in as they please is better than letting some folks decide if my content is worthy enough to be in n/weed...
That’s the great thing about #nostr, you have the choice and freedom to choose many client options for features and functionality, and choice is freedom 🤙
Yep.
I just never choose letting others dictate my content, like admins and mods do in subs.
There's alot of "one way thinking" in subs...
Prolly why I'm on profile and random email number 23 for reddit...
It may be some hoe shit, but it's a hoe bridge from reddit to satellite. Not necessarily a cure all, but maybe a step forward
Something you might not be aware of - if you create a nostr community it’s “namespaced” to your pubkey as the admin. So there’s no single “r/weed” that you can get banned from. There may be multiple versions of each community competing on the basis of which admin does the best job moderating, which is exactly analogous to the situation that already exists with relays and relay operators
YES. *Competing moderation* this is exactly how I envisioned a Reddit-style Nostr! Thank you thank you!! Will follow this closely.
