Not Vitor's decision to make, it's the network's.
And if these idiot devs built an algo, we wouldn't have this issue.
Nostr has some of the most brain-dead development I've ever seen. If I was healthy and flush with cash I'd annihilate these clients. They're sitting ducks for disruption.
I told people 100 times on here how to solve spam. None of these fucking devs listen.
Opt in Web Of Trust. End of story.

Censorship.
On a decentralized platform. Big problemo. Tons of fake free-speechers on here riding coat tails.
Nailed it.
Finally honest rational discussion on here instead of blind Bitcoin worship.
This is the solution to the Reply Guy issue. Opt-In endorsing. Said it many times on here.

The Ol Sybil attack. Let's see how Nostr handles it. A censorship dilemma is created.
No one is worried about the relays. They're quite decentralized. But you can't really use a relay without a client. Right now there's 3 main ones that work. That's why I raise the centralization point.
Open-source and forkable seems to be the most logical key to solving that. Looks like Will is doing that. Good.
Will check out Start9, looks interesting. Thx
Elon's gaslighting is outrageous. Saving free speech, one limited visibility post at a time.
The dude is the king of narrative control.
He sued Jeremy Clarkson TWICE because he didn't like Clarkson's review of the Tesla Roadster on Top Gear. To suppress the bad press.
All of a sudden he's against lawfare, hush suits, censorship, and government subsidies.... Even though he rode each of these things all the way to the top. Insanity.
Ya that's a good way. PWA is under-rated. Loses device-based functionality like push notifications though.
Good. You're building robustly then.
On the iOS side, there's still App Store risk. Need good ways to sideload iOS apps without the store. Android is easy. I haven't see many non-jailbreak ways on Apple. Ideas?
You're fucking back!?!?!?!?! Holy shit. I left after you did. Just poking my head in.
You have services though, no? API's, your Relay, iOS versions.
Basically, can the app run forever without maintenance? If not, those fail points will be targeted.
Open source is good. If the app can live in a way that even you can't shut it down in any way, you've solved this problem.
The owner of the client. For example, you, in relation to Damus.
Just like they did with Pavel Durov. They'll say, "Will, shut Damus down or we're putting you in a cage".
As a client operator, you need to prepare for that. Because eventually, it's a very likely scenario if Nostr takes off. This is a war.
They can show up to the operators house and stick a gun to their head though. Single points of failure.
He's got a point actually. A decentralized protocol is pointless if clients are centralized.
It's like holding decentralized Bitcoin on a centralized exchange.
I have no idea how to decentralize clients though....
Over the next 5yrs, Elon could own and control:
-The Social Graph (Twitter)
-The ISP (Starlink)
-The ISP Launcher (SpaceX)
-The Bank (X Bank)
-The Car (Tesla)
-The AI driving the car (Autopilot)
-Camera's on tens of millions of cars (God Mode like)
-A humanoid (Optimus)
The person claiming to "save free-speech" is usually the one who wants to control it the most.
Only Nostr people understand how insanely dangerous this is.
Yes but freedom tech on an iPhone is a bit like 20" rims on a Toyota Tercel.
KYC = Bad altogether.
Accurate. Need good proxy network and a ISP bypass network.
