Accidentally clicked on the amethyst middle button which is like a 'Global' media feed (videos and photos).
It's pretty rough lollol. AI slop and normie slop videos stolen off of trending insta/Twitter.
We're never getting any more users are we??? 😭😭😭 Lolol. Never mind.

It's the worst feed ever
Its bad, but far, far from the worst feed I've seen on the internet...
I keep saying it if nostr doesn't get features like Instagram and Snapchat to make videos or TikTok, users are not gonna come to be honest for the Regular users, this is boring. They want to create videos right within the app and they want to edit their pictures and all that right within the app. Noster doesn't have this.
I think it’s network affects
And that might not happen until we have the right apps and newer fresher use cases.
We can’t even have a small percentage of Bitcoin Twitter people switch to nostr
Lol maybe that should be set to follows as the default setting instead?
Yes lol, I totally forgot I could do that. I don't ever really look at that feed
I was more just thinking, this is how people see nostr when they first join lol. And it's really bad
nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug ... do you think switching the default setting for the media feed to 'all follows' might be a good idea now that there is more content in that feed?
The content from starter relays I've seen there isn't too horrifying but it does appear as spammy pretty often.
Newbies won't have any follows. Bootstrapping a social circle is hard. And if it were easy, we'd be overrun with bots and scammers. More than we already are.
But yes, Global is pretty cringe. How to onboard newbies without exposing them Global?
....Whilst also not falling into the primal trap of bitxointwitter2 recommendations / sidebar 🤔
I need to investigate "invites" on Alexandria:
But I need to sleep first. Night, all!
No, they wouldn't have follows but there is a learning moment in coming across things through exploring the app and an empty feed encourages that exploration.
Plus it puts some of the autonomy of stumbling upon the icky stuff into the hands of the user, so they're not immediately blaming just the app but also considering the action that they took to come across it.
Get a better global. Use nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 algoo relay or theforest. Or something like nostr.wine or nostr.land, at least.
It doesn't matter, if they can't write to those relays because you can just have a default outbox to a public relay predefined in your client.
I genuinely believe that Nostr needs to adopt decentralized moderation options. Better filters would go a long way too. We need a better global.
Oh god, don't ever do that. If you just saw some AI slop you're doing okay. It's the Fediverse stuff coming over from the Mostr bridges that you can't unsee. That stuff is reeeeally rough.
Sidenote, I wish there was a setting where you can mute all mostr stuff, but then make specific exceptions that don't fal under the rule.
What are you talking about? Fediverse stuff is normally interesting I find. I find it's the random RSS and news bots from Nostr that produce the most worthless slop.
Some Fediverse content is interesting and I like some bridged accounts, but some really awful shit comes from the Fediverse. Before Nostr I was on an instance that did not moderate content (which is generally a good thing), but you just knew to stay the hell away from the global feed.
What instance were you on? I'm pretty sure every ActivityPub instance moderates their own content.
Libredon, which to be fair, that instance was free speech focused. They all moderate, just to different degrees. Mastodon dot social is heavily moderated from what I remember. They don't federate with a good chunk of the network, so if you are on Mastodon you aren't seeing everything being pushed to the global feed because they outright block certain instances. I don't know if Liberdon did instance level blocking or not
Damn, in their code of conduct Libredon says they don't even allow slurs.
Sorry, I only know what the Nostr global feed looks like. I have never seriously used the Fediverse.
Npubs can blacklist relays and then clients can weed those out. I think there's an event for that.
if you want nostream go to https://nostream.pub/ 😭
Let's not, and say we did. 😂
