Nostr Web Client

The approval thing is annoying, I even have to approve my own posts on communities I've made lol. And only one client seems to let you do that. I can see why you would want approval to stop spambots starting a million threads tbf

its incredibly poorly thought out, approval will work but it needs to be applied in the same distributed way as reports

ie you pick a topic the #tag and then a list of users that approve posts in it

approval being better is a whitelist vs blacklist debate, i currently use my follow list a lot so am liking whitelists but know their pitfalls getting new people in, i have a limited attention so also can only deal with so much

if you want to refine your lists you will need to be adding and removing people, web of trust helps but sometimes you just need to go fishing in global and without some blacklists good luck lol, spam is fucking real

Global is ridiculous. I currently have the global feed set to the welcome wine relay, which only shows posts made from new accounts, I think it's up to a week old. Which is obviously not great for finding people with older accounts who may be interesting. And even then it's full of spam

global is fine for me and i use 30 relays, amethyst filters spam well with a large follow list

there is a basic theory to nostr, reason it is successful, a first principles

distributed and filters

if it follows that in all aspects it succeeds

Ah, Ive switched off amethyst filtering. Cos I think it uses reports from people you follow to hide those people from you. Not sure if this 'adopted blocklist' is still a thing, but it definitely used to be.

it still filters spam with filtering turned off.. the mysteries of amethysts coding, i should read it more

Ah I see. Yep, I have no idea tbh

Out of curiosity, how often are you looking at global?

StephanGuy 2y ago

used to use it solely, usually a few times a day if not more

Relay is welcome.nostr.wine

+ Setting global to only showing you from that relay. Just FYI.

Although maybe you don't want to do that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

StephanGuy 2y ago

relying on one relay like that is not nostr

7fqx 2y ago

I have more relays but they are muted for global except for that one, I only at global about once every month. I'm pretty much wanting a v similar reddit-style or community feed as mentioned in this thread

So even my Following feed / twitter style isnt really what I'm after, never mind global
