Nostr Web Client

I'm thinking about it, but one idea is that we could follow topics instead of people. Or have multiple sub-identities covering different subjects. So one user could have a politics subtopic and a technology subtopic, and we can choose to follow only that subset of posts. That way we won't be unfollowing people because we disagree with their politics....

For me this is my "crap" account where I can shitpost or just be stupid in general. I am in the process of setting up another for technical work and my software projects, which I am going to keep separate.

Also there's the fear that accounts could end up being linked in some way, so people might not speak out about important social issues due to that.

To stop that Tor can be used, and also an AI powered anti-stylometry tool could be added to the client, which rewords peoples posts so they cannot be identified.

That's just the ideas off the top of my head now.

Also to prevent spam, we could have 3rd party moderation services, which are entirely optional to use, the client uses them to assign a score to each post, as the old Slashdot moderation system did. And users can select a threshold level to choose which posts are visible or not.

And these services can be AI powered, and users are free to choose between several of them, or even run them locally on their computer, it will not end up being a tool for censorship.

Anyway that's my preliminary thoughts on it.
