Nostr is the "everything app" of freedom
Unlike X/wechat you can freely associate with different software, and you can control your own data.
Yay for free press/freedom of association/freedom of movement 🥳

Do you think it is possible to build a permissioned content system without a trusted third party?
I'm talking about adding and then removing people from a list of who can see certain content.
I can imagine we could use a combination of lists and DM's to share the each piece of content to each person individually such that when we remove them from a list, new content is no longer available to them, but making content unavailable after the fact seems to be impossible.
Likewise adding people to a list later on should not give people immediate access to your historical posts, they should be able to merely request for historical content based on metadata or you can push all data to them optionally if you truly trust them (with warnings galore).
The reasoning is this idea that people like to share photos of their family online but privately. People may also add others to their allow lists accidentally, but that should not lead to a disaster of mass data leak to a malicious identity.
All platforms offer access control, including Twitter.
My thought is: is there already someone working on access control? Are there already better ideas for this? Do you know of any/anyone?
Encrypted DMs to be clear.
Why not just use a "private" relay, this should do what you looking for imo.
The thing that scares me about private relays is that there is no guarantee that it stays there...
Most clients have the ability to broadcast notes to other relays so once a client has the data, it can go anywhere and in plain for anyone to see.
It just takes a ditzy family member to hit the wrong button to compromise someone else in this type of setup.
I agree. Let us connect!
I'm following you now, what do you agree with?
You've got a brand new account and this is your first post. If you're a scammer I'll know well before you can scam me.
What's your idea?
Building on nostr feels like real terra incognota.
You don't control your data if you can't delete it.
