tested ? 🤙🏼💜 good initiative

That’s how my first test run goes! 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣

Very cool, how do they prevent somebody not in Japan from joining the Japan relay?

I think there is a fundamental contradiction in the idea of decentralizing the nostr NIPs. If it were truly decentralized we would have multiple NIPs repositories that did not agree. A protocol doesn't work well when there are different variations on the different NIPs. As much as it is anthetical to our very natures, I think it has to be centralized and that we have to fall in line as subservient to the people with merge access. At least it is not a govenment, it is just a protocol specification. And at least it isn't just one person, it is many. And clearly they don't like this state of affairs either but there is nothing to be done about it. Seriously I see no way to truly decentralize it without a long period of nostr-wars where clients and relays only become "eventually compatible" based on what people actually code, and things that happen that way tend to accumulate crap over time (not that nostr doesn't have it's share of accumulated crap for other reasons).

It's great to have a decentralization ideal. But sometimes for practical reasons ideals cannot be achieved and pragmatism needs to overrule. And we cannot all have merge access.

I had merge access once but I revoked my own permissions. Then I got them back somehow. Then they went away again somehow. Generally I wasn't using them because I don't want the responsibility. It's fine to complain about a merge you don't like, but anybody who wants merge access automatically becomes suspicious in my book.

“right to be forgotten” is so stupid only a government could propose it. what could it even mean? a “right” to give everybody you ever interacted with a lobotomy?

Email has a similar issue yet not quite the same as emails are often directed to specific recipients. Once an email leaves your outbox, it’s out there somewhere and possibly forever. It’s no longer yours even though it has your name, address and signature on it.

The right to be forgotten is an illusion that only governments can force individuals and companies to obey with laws and active enforcement. Most companies just write over the existing data to mask PII and don’t really delete anything.

We do have a delete mechanism on Nostr but it’s not guaranteed because relays and other clients cannot be forced to comply, so the best we can do is ask nicely.

What’s worse is that someone can make a Nostr app that only shows deleted events. Deleting thus has the potential of turning into an Streisand Effect, just bringing more unwanted attention to the deleted event.

I might be ready to delete sphinx chat, anyone wanna change my mind?

derby is a javascript based disttributed file hosting CDN system right?

not sure what is being innovated here. would take less work to do the same thing on IPFS.

coooool where’s the code?

I am on here and sending a message waz up my friend 😎

At this rate I bet we wake up to 1 #btc = 1 #btc tomorrow

wish i could’ve been part of those days 🤔

maybe there will be a client, that’ll be low data mode, clears cache on a daily, and fully anon.

Can’t be 👀
