Nah. My ideal neighborhood would be <50 people who post original content at a maximum of1-2 daily. I’m stubborn, cranky and don’t want to live in a noisy, vibrant neighborhood. I like a boring, mostly static feed that even if I don’t check it all day, I can easily catch up to. I want my social media experience to mirror my real life experience as much as possible.
I understand I’m not a typical user.
ah! so we have blocks and neighborhoods.
your block is capped at 21 accounts. when you're done scrolling/strolling your block and catching up with their content, you can walk into your neighborhood that may show you more.
everyone has their own block and neighborhood, but also can jump into other people's neighborhoods. your block may be the only place you want to hang out. get in, have some fun, get out of the app and on with your life!
I'll note your customization request! we do want to replicate the real world experience and step out of what legacy social media has normalized.
specifically with ending "following" people and changing that to just adding them to your contacts (like our old school physical address books!). then it won't matter how many people have you in their contacts, your reach is how many blocks or neighborhoods you've been added to.
I’m in. When launching?
the block/neighborhood/city/wilds design of nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne is only half of it.
we will offer an opt-in ad experience. you set the price of your attention, 60 seconds of your time. advertisers set the highest price they are willing to pay someone to watch their ad.
we match people with ads every time there is a new block on the Bitcoin blockchain. you watch. you get paid.
we're testing this ✨revolutionary ad experience✨ via the proof of concept call 'billboard'.
people will be able to watch ads, earn money, and ~ help us raise money to build our social media app. ~ then we'll be able to launch nextblock social.
nextblock billboard is launching🤞🏽may 2025🤞🏽
