bitcoiners splintering off onto nostr only might not be best for bitcoin or nostr
event data is public and so cant be controlled
its the connections that matter
PV ☀️ followers 🤙 zap features 🤙 relay count 🤙 FAQ 🤙 Iris usernames ☀️
What's your take on the follower count? Should we remove it entirely?
#[0]
Your follower count on Iris may seem lower than on other clients. Iris rejects events from authors that your social network has not interacted with. You get way less spam and your follower count number is lower for the same reason.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thanks for all the comments to our requests for feature ideas and best practises for zapping. You can still jump in and share your brilliant ideas and concerns.
#[1]
What's the proper amount of relays? Iris account runs well between 7-13 active relays.

would be nice if we could just copy or use others follow lists
point is we have the hardware we just need to utilize it, running the server needs to be as easy as any app
being an unstoppable social platform is a massive incentive, alternate socials may come and go but nostr can go on forever
but they cant interoperate like nostr can, steemit and hive are each silos
thats a better use of 'web3', reality is web3 is all bs shitcoinery
nostr lives up to the original web ideals, open access to information
nostr is like a river, no an ocean, no the solar system, no its a fucking new reality
this is better than the river analogy for nostr
steemit was not bitcoin, steemit was not nostr, nostr and bitcoin are far freeer and open than steemit
webtorrent, ipfs, holepunch can do video
we could develop sats exchanged for content distribution, sats distributed from advertisers
