Nostr Web Client

Look.

You’re building Nostr. This is on you to meet the needs of its users, while also being true to your vision.

“Don’t look at it,” is just about the most selfish and prick level reply you could possibly muster.

It reeks of ego.

The reality is “filtering” is going to happen regardless, and the client that does this the best will have the most adoption.

As a builder, you can either build something that fits you vision the best, or you will be left behind.

The question is this:

Can you serve the needs of your users, while staying true to your vision?

If not, someone else will and it will be worse than you could have designed.

You vision will be lost, all because of your ego.

What???? nostr:npub15h788cf85h6fnmm6ku8c3cfts660m2dfrkmgc6qk8wr8ut5h70rsksdmjv you realise damus is open source right? You can suggest an improvement and get it funded/done. Will is the person who it seems ljke is in charge but is really just the waiter delivering the meal almost (ie there are chefs and dishwashers and kitchen hands, grocery suppliers etc all involved to make the meal). Admit that might not be the best analogy but it works.

What's important to realise is that the onus is on all of us to make a better system. And if we dont like the app then we can use another or make our own. This is a new paradigm. Its almost the exact opposite of centralised platforms where you are locked in.

I don’t think you read what I wrote

Jesus. Do you take everything exactly as written?

He’s building Damus, his app.

Which is also helping to build Nostr.

Not too much difference currently considering there are about 2k active people here.

'Do you tqke everything exactly as written?'

I'm not sure how else I can take it given the format is written.

I apologise anyway if I came across too abrupt. I just think its important people know they can make changes here and that we are all accountable.

We got to a bad place when we had content moderators decide what we can and can't see. This by its very nature has to end with abuse of power.

Damus isn't Will's app. Its ours as users of nostr. Very important to realise the difference which I suspect you do know the diff.

'Peace in'!!
