you're not retarded, you're enlightened, that's why you see what others can't, and that's why there's a perceived conflict of reality. We need to increase the number of enlighted people to see, feel, and listen... woof~
People talk about how toxic twitter is and how nostr has good vibes.
#twitter can be positive, and #nostr can be toxic.
Why and how? We're dealing with people here =P
This is not absolute and I haven't seen it that way, for both of these things, before I joined nostr and now.
My experience on twitter is a positive one, on my personal account there since years ago (about 90% + part of the time). How? I just decide what to see on twitter, using the tools i have to personally moderate what I see.
See I person I like their content? I follow them. They start being shit? I unfollow them. They're annoying me? I block them. People I follow start posting about stuff I don't like every now and then? I use the filter system and put keywords so that my timeline doesn't show me posts with these words.
That's about it. As a result, my experience on twitter on my personal account for years has been positive vibes for most of the time.
Toxic people can start coming into nostr and start being toxic. What will I do? The same thing as I've been doing on twitter. It's not an issue.
The reason why I'm here on nostr isn't because of the positive vibes, it's because of ownership and censorship resistance. I can say "learn to code" and not get "banned" =P (as well as more moderation options as well of course + it being more than just a social thing).
Don't think nostr can't be toxic. It can and will (it already probably has bad eggs in it).
Simplex Chat is very popular in the Nostr community; whenever someone posts a note asking which chat app is secure, many people recommend Simplex Chat. We also think Simplex Chat is a great app.
So, many people ask what is the difference between Keychat and Simplex Chat? Is Keychat's security as good as Simplex Chat's? Is it really possible to create a chat app as secure as Simplex Chat on Nostr? Why not just use Simplex Chat? Why reinvent the wheel?
A common misconception in the Nostr community is that Nostr is not suitable for private things.
"Nothing about any of the protocols we’ve developed requires centralization; it’s entirely possible to build a federated Signal Protocol-based messenger, but I no longer believe that it is possible to build a competitive federated messenger at all." — Signal Founder Moxie https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving%C2%A0
This is because the encryption process is completed on the client side, and relays only pass the encrypted messages.
Keychat and Simplex Chat both use the Signal protocol to encrypt messages, so both meet the following security requirements 1-4:
Anti-Forgery
Anti-Forgery ensures that the sender of a message is verifiable and the message has not been tampered with.
End-to-End Encryption
End-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and receiver can decrypt and read the message content, protecting it from unauthorized access by servers or other network devices.
Forward Secrecy
Forward secrecy ensures that even if the current key is compromised, historical messages cannot be decrypted, since each message uses a new encryption key, which is deleted after use.
Break-in Recovery
Break-in Recovery ensures that if the current key is compromised, future messages cannot be decrypted, and the system can recover from the attack. This feature is also known as backward secrecy.
Metadata Privacy
Protecting the privacy of communication involves more than just protecting the content of messages; it also includes protecting the identities of the communication parties and other data.
Regarding the fifth point, metadata privacy. The designs of Keychat and Simplex Chat are different.
Simplex’s metadata privacy protection scheme
"Simplex chat is the first messenger without user IDs."
“To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.”
“Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers
SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member.
It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives.”
We can understand this mechanism as, if a Simplex Chat user has 10 friends, they have 10 IDs, using different IDs with different friends?
Keychat’s metadata privacy protection scheme
Current chat applications and email have forgotten that an address is not the same as an ID, treating the ID as the address. Emails and current chat applications send messages as [from: Alice's ID to: Bob's ID]. Regardless of how your geographical address changes, when Alice sends an email to Bob, it’s always [from: Alice's ID to: Bob's ID]. This compromises metadata privacy.
However, letters work differently; they are [from: Alice's current geographical address to: Bob's current geographical address].
Keychat separates the receiving address and sending addresses from the ID, and the receiving address and sending addresses are also different. Keychat messages are [from: Alice's one-time sending address to: Bob's almost one-time receiving address]. This makes it difficult for outsiders and relay administrators to determine who is sending messages to whom.
Which scheme do you think is easier to understand and better protects metadata privacy?
Finally, Keychat also uses ecash sat as a stamp for messages, with relays funded by stamp revenue to sustain operations.
ok... question, how would you know who's bob and who's alice and how would they know each other? is it, i'm assuming, to meet up someone in a public square (digital or physical) and connect through a new address from the seed? (and in terms of restoring the seed account on a new device, like in bitcoin, it would scan your seed addresses to certain limits to find if there is chat messages sent or received between people?
Here's what I noticed on a SMP like Twitter.
People like to like, but they also are expecting some privacy, so they created bookmarks, yet people didn't use it as much even though it delivers on what they want.
From my perspective, they just like the concept of 'liking' and perhaps want to show the creator that they liked it, and perhaps be a part of the social number of likes in a post.
While not the reason why they made likes private on Twitter, it ended up being the solution in a sense as an alternative to bookmarking, where only those who made the post knows that you like their specific post, otherwise it's private.
Another idea I had I had in mind to approach this issues is to have three different types likes:
Heart (public).
Heart with dashed border (pseudo private).
Heart with solid border (fully private).
You can choose your default, and holding it in a post would allow you to choose the type of like you'd like to initiate.
> Be me
> Have payment ready to send
> Btc drops, value not high enough to send anymore
> Wait, doesn't go up
> Tired of waiting, went and got more btc
> Ready to send, then btc drops again
> Value not high enough again
> Have to wait more now =/
> Shouldn't be long tho, it's been going up and down a bunch, just annoying
When people be too caught up in their dislike of something that it blinds them from truth.
Seems like people think that Imane Khelif is male, even though all supposed evidence so far (assigned female at birth on her passport. Confirmation from the organizers, and pictures of her as a child) reach that she is indeed female, but just looks like a dude.
I'm also more inclined that she's female as well, because they wouldn't let it slip if that person was trans. They would've promoted that shit everywhere if that were the case xD
So until proven otherwise, truth is she be female.

breh, you got nostr:npub1l4vcnh06mk0z4akwhzmrjs4fuvdnwdn73xghjv0duwew5a5z8ugq6zur0c sharing wolf waifus and getting zaps for (well worth it btw, if you're a nostrich of culture).
I told my friends about this before with it was all the hype:
3D printing will be so good and so cheap in the future that anime/comic/game figure piracy will become a thing.
Probably already is, though not up to my standards (and budget) yet for me to do that =P
Btw #nostr , knowing game design would DEFINITELY help you in your web/app designs (visually, UX, UI, heck, even with knowing what to code and how to think about approaching whatever you're developing).
Play games, notice, learn
