Constantly asking myself - What value do I bring to the spaces I participate in.
This thread in twitter on how to exploit the algorithm, and Casey Neistat's recent appearance on Flagrant, reminded me that nearly all social content these days is produced soley to leverage the algorithm at the cost of creativity and originality.
We exist to appease the algorithm, instead of the algorithm working for us. Then again that's not entirely true either since the Algos themselves are created with the intent to bring content to the consumer, that they will interact with the longest.
I like these.
Remember reading a dev having there manifesto in there personal git and thinking I need to think my own.
As someone who commonly communicates in gifs, the lack of a gif button in a lot of Nostr clients is quite dissipointing

Interesting read on the power, rhyme and reason of verification...
I like to think I was early to the party on twitter, albeit it was at that time where all the devs I worked with were shooting the shit...
Wonder if Nostr will become that place.
Feels like an Arab Spring type moment where Twitter just gets hit with State pushed censorship akin to what's happening in Punjab right now would prove a solid use case for it.

will check it out.
nip-13 also seems promising if picked up by clients.
The showing only degrees feature seems dope.
Guessing it's somewhat query expensive on lookups the clients have to do.
Any clients you know that implement it?
Seems enividble, wonder what ways public relays can do to limit the footprint spam leaves on their resources.
