I just tried out iris.to for a little bit, and i hated it.

#coracle has a "Web of Trust" filter feature that i have dialed up to 7, which hides all posts from users not with at least 7 follows in common with me. this screens out so much noise it's unbelievable.

it also has a really nice integration with alby that is utterly seamless. i can log out, and if my alby is unlocked, log back in, database all refreshed, no muss no fus.

i'm not following the dev of the client anymore but that's partly because he piled in on a harassment of my friend colby, who i work with, and whose project to improve the efficiency of nostr note distribution is being suppressed by the people who are riding the trending filters and pretending they are gods, who think that gossip solves everything and don't care that it will exclude small scale relays...

he then responds to me explaining why it is a good solution that nostr needs, by asking if we were seeking to get it put in a NIP.

meanwhile, his app has a feature that i want to keep, that isn't in a NIP, and really should be.

i can't abide this kind of schizophrenia but i like my WoT filter and i hope it isn't going away, or i may not want to use nostr at all.
