Nostr Web Client

Yeah I feel like there is a bit of 'people don't get it, cos they're can't handle freedom, they're sheeple, unlike me, I'm a free thinker, I can handle nostr' and not dealing with the real issue. I suspect and it's only a suspicion, that some people would actually be more comfortable with nostr only being the chatroom/telegram group it (sort of) is now. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm not clever enough to know any answers to your relay questions lol. But I agree that Lists are very useful. Similarly you can find people via group/community membership. Nostrudel .ninja is great for this, profile pages are full of info and possiblities for discovering new users. It also has Community pages support which also lists members of groups. Worth digging around there.

So for example there's the Art community, you can look at active users there and you might find topics/threads to join in on or whatnot...

Good suggestions.

I have one idea, not sure if it would work:

1. Let's say we can tag our note with for example: [Meme], [Picture], [Politics], [Sport], [Philosophy], [Photography], [AI-Art], [Art-No-AI], and so on.

One problem that we would face is bots falsely self-tagging their notes for unwarranted classification.

2. What if we could voluntarily embed into our profile, let's say 1000 sats as a deposit, and as long as we have that deposit there, we could utilize special tags for our notes that makes them easy to find and index based on those tags. The deposit would exist in a wallet that we could empty when we want, although then our special tag clearance would disappear.

There are certainly problems with this. How do we set a 'fair' minimum amount of deposit. Is there a risk that we alienate those who don't have 1000 sats to spare. What if the deposit was 10,000 sats. What if the price of Bitcoin increases so much that 1 sat is too high.

Just something to reflect on.

There are a fair amount of active users on nostr who don't really care about zaps, so it might alienate a few, sure a minority.

I suppose there are some clients sort of working on similar things, the community section of Nostrudel for example, will only show you posts from communities. Which are sorta moderated, or at least seem to currently be on topic (with no need for moderation probably except for spambots). This kinda functions as a tag. A few clients are focusing on this topic-based feed rather than twitter following people based feed. 🤔

Maybe that is kinda the same?

After further consideration, my idea probably can't work as I described it, due to the risk of bots instantly removing the deposit after posting notes with the special tags and then using those sats for the deposit of another account. If this was automated thousands of times per day, the resulting spam would still be immense and the special tags would be useless.

To combat this, the deposit needs to be locked in place for some amount in time before it can be emptied. Let's say that an account deposit must stay in the account for 7 days before it can be emptied.

If the deposit is, let's say,10,000 sats and we can't access it for 7 days, that would still be long enough to prevent bots from gaming the mechanic.
