How is this built? Is there any code which is open source?
Features:
-Post to the forum, and to directly to Nostr relays at the same time
-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..

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.
