Nostr Web Client

I’m not sure follow to unfollow strategies count as valued engagement.

when nostr was relatively spamless on the open relays new users got scooped up and attacked with love more than I’ve seen on any social network.

I do believe relays should be paid (even more than we pay now). I think relays picked up slack when the clients were in early development and a ton (and still do) on their plate, by solving this issue externally, and it was a good reason to pay for a relay, aside from the principle of paying for something you consume. Im not sure it’s the right solution for spam, and that might be solved by the client in a way that would also surface these new users much better.

interesting, bc i don’t see spam as a problem – one day nostr will grow to such an extent, that even filtered from spam global feed will be unreadable – that’s why different algorithms will be created – and ppl will use them 🤔

Although I agree a gobal feed sans spam at scale might be a bit unwieldy, you could still pull up new people from that to reach that scale. I think we’ve lost many early adopters who just stumbled upon in the switch to paid relays… them not seeing us with out a ton of spam, and us not seeing them through that ton of spam.

In other words, spam isn’t the problem, the solution to spam is a problem for new user experience. Presumably a algo based solution would be client based. I think we are saying the same thing.
