Ever heard of Spring '83? I *love* it. It's a micro-protocol — much like nostr — which was designed to sidestep many of the pitfalls of twitter's infinite scroll medium. And the best thing about it is: it would be trivial to replicate on nostr.

I don’t, however, think the solution is a jet cockpit’s worth of access controls. Rather, I suspect there might be some clever new formulation of the “mention” waiting out there, just waiting to be discovered …

makes me think what if there was a difference with some thing between follow, and not follow. Like I can write someone’s name and you could search for it, or I can @ mention them when they get notified.

What if there was a way to soft follow someone, vs follow? Like maybe choose to follow vs “listen“ to them. So you can find their stuff but not get notified of their stuff prominently? And only if you were hard listening it had to be pulled into your feed? So less to curate?

Also this spring 83 seems to be following someone else’s curated content. Is that the idea?

How would you pull this into Nostr! Display their content like this? Or have an alternative object for your current spring-board that you can edit and update and publish to?

This is hilarious and awesome!

Replaceable events and a 2D infinite canvas (maybe with search so you could find the person's content you're looking for)?
