Nostr Web Client

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you?

Your answer here is once the user clicks on the primal thumbnail they will see the real image?

What happens if users don’t click on Primal’s thumbnail image and never see the “original” image.

You are obscuring and manipulating media not of just your own users but of all Nostr users.

The entire point of Nostr is for the users to control their content not the clients/platforms.

Puzzles, dude. I think you’re missing the bigger point.

The freedom to choose, from a variety of valid choices, is the single thing that empowers true sovereignty for end users. Anything more (like enforcing best practice) requires market manipulation by centralized forces.

Nostr protocol simply provides a means for app developers to build in a more sovereignty respecting manner. The freedom to choose the “most sovereignty respecting app” MUST be in the hands of the user, if Nostr network is to remain “decentralized” and sovereignty respecting as a whole.

OFC Nostr protocol has a long way to grow to keep users informed of predatory apps and the choices they make … but that is a matter of user education and NIPs for transparency.

Shaming of app developers to get them “in line” is all fine and good … but there’s a fine line to cross before we hear calls for banning and such. That would just be a missed opportunity … when a focus on user education would go lots further than app shaming.

Creators and Nostr users are being misrepresented on platforms like primal.

This is where I personally draw the line.

I have a zero tolerance for bullshit policy.

How would you suggest I help educate users of poor nostr ethics?

Personally … I think a NIP for transparency will go a long way to help.

After this … then any education material that lays out “what to look for and care about when choosing apps on Nostr” will be helpful. Even like “client reviews” articles on Nostr, from a number of different perspectives, would help. I’d zap that.
