Nostr Web Client

Community notes on X has really rekt some people posting nonsense on the platform and I think crowd sourcing information is a great way to provide context and alternative opinions, especially if a piece of content gets a lot of reach.

As #nostr gets more popular, and more people come here to enjoy saying whatever they want, I think having a feature like that would benefit clients and keep people from trying to run their mouth or post misinformation

When you couple it with #Zaps you also create a powerful incentive for people to do research and provide quality community notes that others find valuable, a reward for you taking the time to debunk something

I think community notes is a bad idea. I’ve seen some good ones on X but I’ve also seen some woefully uneducated ones.

They’re usually accurate when it’s within the realm of the community making the note, otherwise it’s down to popular consensus.

I think zaps are more resistant to this but isn’t foolproof. There’s no reason that a motivated group couldn’t plough a lot into zaps to “validate” a false community note. It does make the barrier to entry higher though which is good.

Community notes is a fake out. When you think it through you’ll agree why it only “works” in a centralized way and is actually just a marketing gimmick.

Community notes is a bad idea. If there's any information that needs to be corrected leave a reply like everyone else and to increase your visibility ratio the original post.

Any client/app that gives the ability to inject information from some ordined group into posts is a tyrants preferred act of foreplay.

Posting nonsense online is part of the reason why people even post anything online. The pursuit of safety for all will result in open air prisons (whatever open air means in the digital media).

Provocative but against the ethos of #Nostr. IMO, a bad idea.

Having a community notes is centralizing power to a group that will be biased and ultimately run an agenda, ideologically motivated or financially motivated
