Glad you like it. Definitely alpha but it’s a nostr client for non-bitcoiners. Not to say we’ll avoid supporting zaps, but that’s not the focus.
Thank you for all your hard work on Twitter, Planetary, Nos.social, and even Palm Calendar (I was once a heavy user of the Palm Treo myself😄).
I thoroughly enjoyed your interview on Nostrovia the other day. If I understand correctly, you discussed implementing a mini-paywall for creators of all kinds. While that seems like a sensible option, wouldn't a simple one-click zap be more convenient for some users? I realize that emphasizing zap and lighting stuff could deter non-bitcoin or even non-technical users, but providing multiple payment options would be ideal. Do you have any plans to add additional payment methods?
I'm just thinking it may make nos more accessible and welcoming to new users. Please let me and your other future Nos users know your thoughts on this!
Isn’t rabble the guy that gave a talk supporting censorship?
Could you please specify in which talk he mentioned that? Are we talking about the same rabble?
It was during nostrica. I haven’t watched it myself yet but heard that second hand, one sec.
Ok apparently it’s around 5:07:00.
The video of my talk is online, you’re welcome to watch and make your own judgement.
What I’m advocating for is relays being aware that when they host data they’ve got some legal and moral responsibility. That free speech doesn’t mean I have to listen to you. And lastly that it is possible to say things that silence others.
We need to find ways to manage ourselves without relying on either corporations or the government deciding the rules. But governments exist and there is content which is a crime to have on your devices. Post a nazi symbol and it is illegal for users in Germany to download or view it. Child porn is ilegal almost everywhere. Let’s not have a system that endangers all users legally.
The last bit which could be considered pro-censorship is pointing out that apple and google have total control of mobile operating system. They insist on content reporting and removal. They don’t care that the system is decentralized. So if we want mobile users of nostr we could go web only or comply with AppStore rules.
Don’t like those rules? Build from source, use mobile web, or nostr on the desktop. Or spend many billions building a new mobile OS.
Don’t like blocklists? Or hiding some things. Don’t do it. But once we host content and have to block or remove spam then we have to decide what is or isn’t spam and there is always a grey area. So a judgement call must me made.
If you don’t want it to work like that then try secure scuttlebutt which is inmutable. I build an open source app planetary.social, it is technically impossible to delete or censor with it.
How does my speech silence someone else’s? Also, a swastika isn’t illegal on its own, so you’re misinformed.
The only moral duty relay operators have is to not interfere with peoples fundamental right to free speech.
He did talk about it in a weird way in the short section I listened to. But it wasn’t enough for me to think he was for censorship per se, maybe like tools to avoid things you don’t like is more accurate.
'silencing speech' makes me think hmm that is open to hell of a lot of interpretation, i can see how this might cause suspicion.
