I juse used that facility on more-speech. Nice.

I did this. It was great fun, and worked like a champ. You can also get PiDP-11s and more.

more-speech publishes to every writeable relay in its list; but does not include any relays in replies as yet.

>1) when you publish events, are you publishing to all relays or only a random set of relays?

GM!
I'm back, but just for a moment.

Damned good idea. That's going into the story list for more-speech.

Yes, we are small. On the other hand our knowledge spans billions of light years and billions of years. And in that sense, we are huge.

Replies seem to work. You might want to put the "root" and "reply" markers in the e tags.
Yeah, we used to code uphill both ways to and fron school in my day!

Hello!
That gives me something new to think about. Thanks!

I understand why kind:0 is vital to a social network (although there are challenges such as the five fiatjafs).
I do not understand why kind:3 is vital. As far as I can see kind:3 is equivalent to a file on my laptop. Unless, of course, I can query your kind:3. If the latter is the case, then #[8]'s web of trust starts to make sense.

My first experience with the internet was in the late 1980s. At the time I was using Sun sparcstations at work and working in C/C++. Our company was a little startup with half a dozen programmers and an equal number of machines. We had an ethernet in the office that we could use to ship files back and forth; and we kept our master files on one particular machine.
We knew someone who worked at a different company that had a connection to the actual internet. Their connection was 19.2K bits per second, which was pretty fast in those days. So we asked if we could dial into his machine once or twice per day to ship email and other network packets. He agreed.
This put us "on the internet" -- so to speak. The connection was intermittent and slow, our dial up link was only 1200 bits per second, but that was enough.
One of the network apps was UUNet, or USEnet, or NetNews. It went by many different names. Using this application anyone could write an article on any topic. That article would be shipped around the internet to all other UseNet users. You could also subscribe to topics, read what others had written, and publicly reply. It was a social network.
The exchange of articles was slow compared to today, but we could send articles and get replies in one day. And so we did. Lots and lots of articles. Tons of furious debates. It was an extraordinarily active echange of information. It was valuable as hell.
And...it was uncensorable. It was entirely peer-peer. There were no central servers, no choke points, and no places where governments or companies could reach in and block "disinformation". It was great.
Notr is the rebirth of that kind of free network. Nobody runs it. Nobody has choke points on it. There are no central servers. And with the Schnorr signatures, you can be sure you know who you are talking to.
That's why notsr -- at least for me. I'm sick of the big tech BS and their petty little power games. I want a free network where I can discuss anything I like, get into furious debates, learn like crazy, and not have to worry about some asshole bureaucrat deciding that nobody should ever hear from me again.

And thank you #[4] for the pull request. Dots! ugh.
Hello and welcome #[4]. There is much to learn here.
