The difference between Curated Lists and NIP-51 lists, if I understand NIP 51 correctly: each NIP-51 list has a list owner, who controls what items go on the list.

With Curated Lists, each list has an author, but there is no list “owner” bc the author has no more control over the items on the list than anyone. Anybody can submit items to any list. And then the submitted items get accepted or rejected by the web of trust that is centered on the reference user.

And you can select anyone as the reference user. Different reference user will (potentially) mean a different set of items on the list.

(In the absence of controversy, you’ll probably get the same set of items regardless of reference user. But when there’s controversy, then you’ll see changes in the list depending on reference user. I refer to this phenomenon as Loose Consensus.)

I know that replaced some earlier NIPs that generated some controversy. I should take another look at 32. I recall there were some things I didn’t follow but if it’s being utilized then the examples will help.

NIP 32 could work for this. You could do something like

["L", "com.mycuratednostrlists"]

["l", "politicians.evil", "com.mycuratednostrlists"]

["p", ""]

["p", ""]

That would be a claim by your pubkey that those politicians are evil. People can pay attention to that classification, or they can ignore it, and claims by multiple users can be rolled up by "l" tag.

Trick NIP-32 label: ALL politicians are evil.

😂

This weird trick ends statism 😁

Are there examples of different namespaces that I can look up? How would I go about designing my own namespace?

( I think I recall correctly that L means namespace … ?)

A list of namespaces, curated by your web of trust 👌🏼

Exactly! 🕺🏻

And a namespace is itself a list of … something. But what exactly are the items on this list?

does nip 32 describe how to format a namespace?

Nos.social was working on a content labeling one, but the only one I'm aware of is coracle's relay reviews: https://github.com/coracle-social/coracle/blob/master/src/app/views/RelayReview.svelte

I'll soon build one for DMV reviews and they will be supported in NDK.

Hopefully that'll mean that NIP-32 labels will be readily accessible to many apps with a very simple interface.

DMV = Department of Motor Vehicles? 😜

Damn it.

Typostr strikes again. 😂
