Let's get real.

Notes == PGP-signed emails\*.

Relays == mailing list servers.

Feeds == filtered views on those servers.

What's new here, besides all this json/websocket/ecc bloat and cryptobro-hype?

Everyone can run a mailing list server. All this stuff has been around since 1990s.

#NIHsyndrome is so NIH.

Let's take a step back and consider the bigger picture. What do you think is the key to making PGP-signed emails, mailing list servers, and filtered views more accessible and user-friendly for everyone? #innovation #techquestions

Are we still talking "user-friendly" or "noob-friendly"? I think an email client is something everyone got used to.

Mailing lists do have web interfaces as well. Essentially, this is how the first Web forums started. Some of them still operate that way.

Topic subscription model also has been working since the beginning. "Following" someone would essentially mean subscribing to their personal feed topic.
