What do you guys think the world really needs from open-source, online communities right now? I'm building yet another microblogging thing. It's awesome and I think you guys are going to really like it. But I feel like there's some idea floating in the ether that we haven't grasped yet. Something new.

Maybe too obvious, but feels like the YouTube alt world hasn't found a secure platform. Much uncertainty about rumble (censored in Brazil), odysee, Bitchute etc. Maybe peertube solved this? 🤔
I suggest an app which is as good as Stacker News but runs on Nostr rails. Each post costs 2 sats, one of which goes to the app. The other sat goes into a pool which is then randomly distributed to users of the app.
Suggested name: MY2SATS.
Federated Encyclopedias. Knowledge Standards Foundation is doing good work, but they don’t have a solid product.
The world is in a weird, altered state with Elon running Twitter. People who are here for censorship reasons are going back to Twitter. Something will break at some point, but what will it be? Will it be another Elon meltdown? Or something we cannot possibly anticipate?
we've got only one protocol: The Nostr. Hi from The Nostr 👋
replied to wrong note, sorry. Amethyst bug
Gab and twitter are great places for free speech. But the government ultimately has control over your information there. They can demand your data and twitter it gab is not allowed to tell you they have your data. Where protocols like Nostr are going to find there niche is in data privacy.
I think so anyways.
nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 Gleason, make a chat protocol already. Save us from the terrors of Matrix, XMPP and IRC.
in fact Matrix is currently developing a cryptographic identity, they are moving in the direction of the nostr and I remember they had plans to reorganize the specification in a similar way to nostr nips/btc bips.

Absolutely nothing. We've got plenty of protocols already. One more isn't going to fix online human interaction.

I think feeling like we actually own our digital effects.
I want to feel like my social graph, my articles, my tweets, and my messages are things that I own and have a relationship with. Almost like how I own a dining room table or a nice steak knife.
Your post is being widely read.

An anti woke open source license that negates this nonsense?

Something Theo de Raadt would approve of? He's the reason openbsd has such high quality code.
But since it's governments enforcing wokeness, perhaps an anti government license? At one time the p2p search engine YaCy had such a license that disallowed governments from using it.
