Does any client offer a "thread view" like Twitter? By which I mean displaying a sequence of tweets from the same author in a straight line that is easy to read, instead of treating everything as normal replies?

#[0] what do you think of adding this to https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip? I can try to implement it in a couple of years if you don't do it before me.

Safer Nostr relays (good for filtering out spam on replies and global feed):

- wss://eden.nostr.land, 5000 sat fee

- wss://nostr.milou.lol, 1000 sat fee

- wss://nostr.member.cash, requires 2+ internal score

- wss://relay.minds.com/nostr/v1/ws, just minds.com users

Another safe relay option here, based on another internal algorithm from https://nostr.band:

#[0]

It is something they calculate there on member.cash, I don't have any details.

Another spam-free-relay experiment:

wss://relay.nostr.band/trusted

This endpoint (with /trusted path) has all the nostr data from all relays, but it hides all posts and profiles that have low trust rank, unless you specifically ask for them by id or pubkey.

In case of a spam attack on the network you can remove 'read' permissions from all other relays (or click 'disconnect' if your client allows that), and leave 'read' for this relay, and have content from all the network visible, except for spam. When attack is over - re-activate read permissions or re-connect to other relays.

Trust rank is an internal metric similar to PageRank. The upside of it is that it's very robust against sybil attacks, i.e. bots that interact with themselves to pump their likes/follows/vanity metrics gain nothing since only interactions from broader network would count.

The downside of using trust rank for spam-filtering is that new blank accounts that haven't had any interaction from trusted accounts will not be visible, so you won't be able to see and greet new nostr users.

The relay is free for now. Please let me know what you think of this approach.

Well, if Nostr gets a little more popular spam attacks will be the norm.

Actually it doesn't even have to be spam. The global feed, for example, will get unusable fast just from the sheer amount of people posting in random languages about random topics.

It is great to have these filtered relay options.

All good in the Matrix:

Not really. Nostr is completely different from Bitcoin.

Yes, hard to buy, they seem to be absurdly expensive.

This is good news, I missed it because I wasn't following the sandwich guy and his tagging of me didn't work:

I hope the eggplant festival doesn't start right now.

ahahah, really? You're using an old event from me? That's cool.

Please don't block me, #[1]!

Is it funny?

Is this the actual Rusty? Using an iPhone?

oh i thought you had tick marks for those git one liner. my bad! 😟

I use tick marks everywhere to delimit code. Perhaps influenced by Markdown, but it works in plaintext.

gasp. i see markdown! 😉

Looks like plaintext to me, sir!

I don't know if that is an honest answer. It is hard to believe. Are you serious?

I know the numbers are astonishing, but I thought these could maybe be people from Twitter that couldn't get into the Damus Testflight.

But why? Random people with iPhones will just install apps randomly all day?

That's my approach too and I am not shy of force-pushing if I'm the sole or main developer of a thing. `git reset --hard HEAD~20; git pull; cargo run` did it for me.

How many users do we get automatically for free from the sole fact that it is on the App Store?
