“Sorry guys I didn’t realize it was in scientific notation.”
I see, I'll try that for sure. I do see these posts seem to be from mostr.pub and momostr.pink mostly, e.g. nostr:nprofile1qqsfuncrv0czqknam92svndtgwrwuh7u2znwhgn73ze0lspyar44kkspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9utxes9t
Perhaps there is a way to block these domains (if that is the correct lingo)?
Removing these from your relay list should do the trick assuming they are in your relay list. I will say I do converse with people from activity pub and they do converse back so I’m not sure what the cause is of what gets blocked and what does not get blocked.
Was it just me?

Fun fact: The “Tree of Knowledge of good and evil” was the bad tree. Don’t eat of its fruit.
In Nostur The posts, replies, and retweets are all in the same tab it would be nice if you had the option of putting in one tab or seperate tabs.
I use the Nostur app (client) it is also for iOS. In settings you can limit the events you see to those signed by your follows( Web of Trust filter set to Strict) And you can make a feed specifically from just a subset of your follows you want in it. You can turn all the other feeds off (that show you trending notes, etc) Other than that to see only what your follows post and no more, make sure you aren’t following any hashtags. That is the typical way of seeing people you don’t strictly follow. Nostur shows replies and notes in the same timeline feed. So that may be different than you want.
But whether it’s Damus or Nostur a note from someone you don’t follow is probably a hashtag you do follow or a repost of someone you follow.
Seems doable are you happy with the clients that do this?
Do you remember that the dawn of the social web was information organized by users?
That was the innovation. Prior to it, everything you saw was chosen by an editor. A curator who decided for you using their judgment. It has its place, but it’s also expensive, and slow. And would never scale to user generated content.
The “like” or the “upvote” was a way of letting the “wisdom of the crowd” act like the editor. Small preferences aggregated to recommendations. It’s a way of distributing the cost of curation to many individuals. And it’s absolutely necessary when more content exists and is being created than any human can consider. *With that volume of content it’s literally impossible to manage and organize without an algorithm.* Things would just become a long list of jumbled content. And you would have to wade through the irrelevant and bad content to find anything remotely worth your time.
Algorithms enabled that. Likes enabled that. Zaps are the same, but louder, clearer than a like due to the cost. They both have a place as a tool to wade through every event to find the things worth your time.
The anti algorithm crowd Doesn’t realize what they are saying. Their follow list is an algorithm just a simple one that is transparent and in their control. But their hearts are clearly against manipulative algorithms and there we can agree. You should be empowered to use algorithms that you choose and control to find the stuff worth your time.
Some in The “zaps only” crowd would have you believe that likes are inherently manipulative, some tool in the attention dopamine industrial complex. It isn’t. Those algorithms are not using likes alone anyway, they are watching comments, and length of time on the page, and a bunch of other metrics. To maximize attention for ad revenue. The “like” is not evil, but they can be used for manipulative ends. So can zaps. #grownostr #nostr
And When domesticated garden vegetables spread from a garden and go feral and try to make it on their own. Not unlike us dreaming of homesteading. We have to *root* for them. 🫚🥕🥔

My family knows I don’t get riled up much about most things. But tomatoes 🍅 are one of those things. The absolute trash that is peddled by grocery stores and restaurants is, I will say it, hogwash. Thick skin, crunchy, anemic pale red with blotches of hard white flesh inside, sour to dry nothing in flavor, served on a burger or in a Caprese… fuck!
The meme “you will it z bugs” it’s worse than that people, eat one of these tomatoes, it’s already worse…
The garden tomato on the other hand with a little salt - savory, sweet, and tart. You can taste the sun. Thin skin, delicate tender flesh, and juice running off the plate. You drink the juice after the tomato is gone, you literally lift the plat to your mouth and tilt your head to drink in the flavor.
It’s a fact and it’s a metaphor. Grow your own tomatoes.

Made a garden soup with the kids today everything from the garden sans a bay leaf, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
The kids planned, Picked, rinsed, I peeled, chopped, and cooked with “help”. Kids are excited typically not interested in soup. Crossing my fingers it will be a positive introduction. In the end the kids decided against potatoes in the soup.
Swiss chard
Carrot
Beet
Beet greens
One Carrot top

Basil

Me when I “Like” the “zaps only” memes, manifestos, and monologues.
Roast suckling ham and cheese? 🔥
This becomes a teriyaki ham and cheese?
Dill pickles placed ontop of a grilled cheese is epic. Game changer. 🔥
The tomatoes will be plentiful this year, despite the set backs.
I didn’t know email was so broken. Just assumed all email worked together. Is it basically spam blocking?

Let the kids stay up past bedtime to watch the fireflies come out. You forget how magical they are. #grownostr #parenting
