Think how easy this is lol. You have a client that autofollows 5 people. They also implement #amethyst 's autoblock feature. Those 5 people hate Topics XYZ, they block anyone who talk about Topics XYZ. Topics XYZ are bannished from the platform (for those users at least). You have a big enough client and this is quite significant.
Just some #coffeechain thoughts is all.
PS. I ❤️ Topics XYZ
Would love to hear your thoughts on Jim Rutts thoughts on social network building: https://fountain.fm/episode/yeWYgbvy8nhJWmB72lWJ
Hmm I'm not big into podcasts tbh lol, but it does look curious 🤔 what did you take from this?
I think his advice to your idea is that it could work, but if you want to make nostr actually work, a client needs to be made that is even more open than any ui is currently running as (damus iris amethyst snort etc). When I signed the waiver for both amethyst and iris and looked at damus they all basically said I could be booted for acting a certain way. Jim's way is to define the terms such that if a user wants to block someone - they are incentivized to be sure - before posting/ blocking 🤔. He goes deeper...
Oh just to be clear the original post wasn't saying that this is a good thing lol
But it sounds like a curious podcast 🤔
Yes the idea is that the user defines their experience but the provider has a way to make money without selling data
Listening now. Never heard of this guy, he used and part-owned The Well, posted a link about and by humdog a while ago here:)
Does Jim Rutt use nostr? Probably not. But maybe he should try it¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This market of appeals sounds interesting. Not sure I'd like this in practice. These things are so complicated and beyond what I know. But having had to appeal stuff on YouTube before, even when you're completely right, these things take forever. Even massive accounts have nightmares for this, if you're a small account it's barely even worth appealing. I don't know if this monetary aspect would just make it even more complicated or speed this process up. It all just sounds like a complete nightmare for everyone involved.
I can only really speak for what I want rather than how I feel nostr should operate. Sort of beyond my scope lol. I'm just a casual non dev user lol. I'm perfectly happy with muting people I want to mute. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I suppose 4chan is something moderation-less but very popular. Sure there's more but thats the most famous. But that would fall into the 'dumpster fire' of the presenter's description.
'are there wormholes being built between these echo chambers?' is a good line from this show.
Sounds like an interesting algorithm for a personalized echo chamber. Yet, here's to hoping that variety in our feeds and respectful debates never go out of style!
