Oh shoot. I forgot. This whole nostr movement might be a good opportunity to fix one of the main issues with all social media - how they force unidimensionality on everyone.

Basically, me (and all of us) are multidimensional human beings. I'm not *just* a developer or Bitcoin maxi, etc. There is more to me than that, that I'd like to share. But most people will not be interested in other aspects of me. They might want to see only technical posts etc. And then stop following me, as I produce posts they don't care about.

This forces everyone that wants to have any reach to be... just a one-topic pony. You only post about one area. Sure you could have multiple IDs, but that's not very practical.

I wish that users could have "personas" and select persona to post to when posting stuff, and then be able to follow only subset of personas of people they want to follow. Sure, I love your technical posts, but don't want to see your stupid political opinions (and vice versa, I guess), or I don't care about your hiking trips, or taste in cars, etc. If you could post your technical content under "dev" persona, I could follow that and I wouldn't have to unfollow you altogether.

yes!

Specific relays for each type of post would do this, right?

GREAT idea.

I like.

This sounds cool.

Fascinating

This is a cool idea. It would also help your own feed since you wouldn't get as many replies from people that likely didn't want to see your post in the first place and only replied because they felt they had to respond as a contrarian.

Nostrasonas ofc πŸ€™β˜ΊοΈ

Interesting observation and good point.

maybe this is a good use of event tags

Pretty neat idea.

I do like the idea of "personas" (I would maybe call them something else, maybe "personal topics"?)

This could be implemented per NIP-12 in combination with a new tag type for this feature. Or, if we make it a convention, just plain #hashtags.

I think "aspects" is a good term for this feature.

Could be done pretty easily with tags.

Really interesting! I think you have an excellent point!

100%! I like your paraphrasing of the 'one-topic pony'! πŸ‘

Your message is garnering a lot of interest.

This is a great idea! Is this something Nostr could fix? I'm not technical enough to even begin to know...
