I’m not proposing a nostr brand. I‘m proposing, and think we really need, a protocol-wide profile/content share icon - that doesn’t assert/undermine particular client identities.

I am very much just a user here. And enjoyment of the ‘nostrich’ is absolutely as valid a judgement call in this as any other. Although it’s worth remembering how much its ‘sense’ relies on being a pictographic reminder of a shared joke amongst some, that others didn’t and won’t get…

You seem to be asking for a lot to be communicated by such a little button. Beyond an attempt to be distinctive, attractive and recognisable, I’d argue that it can’t embody anything more than its own form and function. Personal readings that evolve through its use are going to be about association, and about the reader more than the read. But they can hopefully be kept open enough to leave space for each user to form their own associative connections between the sign and the content and possibilities they use it to link with.

If I’m honest, the more I live with this one the stronger and more useful it feels. But my offer is very much just that. And part of the motivation for this particular proposal was simply to try to shift and open up the frame of the conversation a little.
