Nostr Web Client

I've been saying for a while that X will become a #nostr app someday, but I wonder if YouTube will too.

It seems like one of those capitalist leviathans that require constant growth, because it's so expensive to store and serve so many videos.

If nostr takes off and other platforms start shrinking, I'm not sure if YouTube could find a way to continue affording their infrastructure, but one option would be to tap into nostr's growth by selling nostr-native video server storage space, or seedboxes.

Part of the challenge is that maybe those corporatists would rather kill the brand than let it be converted to something that doesn't give them so much control. Like, if it's not giving the same control anymore, just let it die.

I can never tell what degree of serious you are with these posts. Good points, but so far away in the future

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 8mo ago

I'm always serious about the far future. I like to imagine Digit has been talking to me for a long time by then, and corporations just can't handle the effects of that, so they have to join nostr

YODL 8mo ago

Well, so long as you're aware it's very distant speculation I guess. Gonna give that lantern thing a spin now that I've got desktop in front of me... not expecting much based on comments

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 8mo ago

I hope soon every major news site will be covered in nostrtations

YODL 8mo ago

Me too! Imagine a world where users have a comments section of friends on every site. I've installed it and am now staring at nothing happening. Will give it another minute of effort

YODL 8mo ago

It worked. Cool

Will take some time to hit critical mass, but it will either be surprisingly fast or surprisingly slow, no middle ground

Not ignoring comments in other thread, just don't wanna blow up the thread with sidebar.

But also, as I've said, not getting mixed up in others' drama is a policy I've adopted (learned hard way).

I'm not telling you to post on /r/gangstalking or rdrama.net, I'm saying you don't understand the issue and reading more about it might help

YODL 8mo ago

Understood. And maybe I'll look into it sometime further.

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 8mo ago

Thank you 🙏

YODL 8mo ago

Actually I definitely will, just not today most likely. I have a bit of morbid curiosity in me and enjoy digging into old internet stuff on occasion.

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 8mo ago

I checked the rdrama one and got this so maybe today wasn't the best day to suggest it anyway 🫠

Side note: their cute little cat running across the page would singlehandedly make me forgive them for ruining my life if Digit didn't seem to get hurt in the process but she did so fuck that cat blocking some text

I think that's all my time, thank you for coming to my Ted talk

YODL 8mo ago

Hate that cat already!

Humans are comforted by presence of other humans, and discomforted by knowledge of other humans

The fundamental goal of gangstalkers is to make it impossible to cope or maintain mental health by taking away presence and adding knowledge, ideally until the victim has no support network and a deep understanding of why, like me

"Letting it go" would be up to the gangstalkers, the victim can't do anything but fight back and try to stay sane
