What makes you think that one nostr bot posting labeling notes only to it's own relay is centralized claiming of authority? The problem is that nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z has decided in his app that all report notes should be shown in the global feed and as replies even if they're not somebody you follow or care about. Every other app just uses these if they're relevant to the user. Switch apps, because this IS handled by nostr clients and you're choosing a client which throws it in your face.
To be clear, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z is totally within his rights as a nostr client developer to decide how he wants to display reports to his users. Amethyst is open source, he's happy for people to fork it and make versions that work differently, or better yet, provide PR's to change it's functionality.
I think "report" is a terrible name for content labeling because it keeps people thinking that there's somehow some magical secret centralized authority which is getting those reports and taking action on them. That's not how Nostr works. I think we should change the nip to say 'content labeling' and 'flagging users' / 'flagging content' because that's what's happening in Nostr. The apps in the AppStore / Google Play will still need to have it say Report in the UI, but that's their platform monopoly requirements. Relay operators have the power to choose what content they'll host. Almost all do filtering and dropping content based on their own decisions. Nostr isn't a 'you have to listen to me protocol' nor is it a "you have to host my content" protocol. You get the ability to say what you want, but so does everybody else. If you want to make sure your content is online, run a relay. That's what we did with nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh , and we don't put it's content on anybody else's relays at all.
And because it's all open source, you can compile your own version without any content reporting or labeling.
a relay is a central entity on the network thhere are many but each is a point of centralization. Placing yourself in a censorious role at the centralization was your instinct for solving an issue in decentralized space. There is no magic and it will end up killing your project. Once people understand that you are willing to stand between their tools and raw data there will be an exodus. face it now face it later. But dont mess around too hard. Some of us will take it personally.
the other note is about your bot. this is about you. this one is personal. "flame war fun" is the bit that outed you as a bit of a classist. We are not talking about flame wars and your use of that term is derogatory in this context. uncalled for.
Next.
"While you may want a platform which feels like 4chan, lots of others don't." again insinuations with negative connotations.
Next
"communities of many norms" is another of the recently rediscovered phrases that statists hide behind as justification for segregation and censorship.
Next
"Nostr is held back because of the reputation of the content on the platform" thats your judgement. You dont have the right to enforce it.
Next
If you keep deploying silly bots that attrack freedom then some of us will have to deploy far more effective bots to defend ourselves against you if you dont just wither on the vine. Then we have chaos.
The answer is to put tools in users hands via nostr client extensions. It is not to centralize and claim authority. Your base instinct is central solution. Do you not grok?
Rat Bot alert.
The censors have developed a ratbot. Its reporting people for language like 'dimwit' in order to build "web of trust"
Here's my talk from the last Nostr conference about why we built nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh.
So pls answer the question.
No one wants to watch 49 minutes of you being bad at presenting your insidious rot. Just say it in text if you have nothing to hide. But I think you do. All censors I've ever met have some secret behavior or past that would make them outcasts if revealed.
The reflex is to place themselves within some authoritarian structure or movement. The public reputation gained by being "on the side of good" or by other activities cloaked in stolen valor is their smoke screen.
Here's my talk from the last Nostr conference about why we built nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh.
OK, fed transcript to AI. You seem like a censor.
Here's my talk from the last Nostr conference about why we built nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh.
You can't just tell me n a few sentences?
Nah. Then he wins. He wants us to censor
We only publish the nostr:npub14h23jzlyvumks4rvrz6ktk36dxfyru8qdf679k7q8uvxv0gm0vnsyqe2sh events to one relay. If you don't like it, don't connect to the relay and mute the account. These reports aren't being spammed, you're client is seeking them out. We do not publish these to anybody else's relays.
A major problem is Amethyst is not using the Web Of Trust model instead is searching for anybody regardless of your connection to them and highlighting the labels both as replies and new posts. These are type 1984 events, they're labels not replies.
Cool whatevs but the question remains, why would you build a snitchbot. Do you realize if someone with bots gets pissed at you they will destroy your fun and your plans?
You are declaring yourself a snitch. Nobody but feds like a snitch and they don't even respect them.
So who is your fed or what is your wobble fren
Mutiny wallet folks. I am not gonna crusade against him or anything but Tony is going to be a problem. Some suit somewhere has his leash or his heart.
Stay safe and trust nobody. Verify everything.
So that their enemies will destroy themselves?
I hope someone is paying you for this hahahaha. Bro. Wrong crowd. Nostr doesn't like murder apologists
Bro. This guy is an ignoramus. Why are you listening to someone who can't make sense of life?
Working on a theory that nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft and Jim Rutt might be clones grown from the same (glorious) seed.
They are on the same propaganda team. They even use the same phrases sometimes. Plus if you take a look at their notes and replies they both look super psyop. Not sure if they are bright enough to know that they are ops though. They seem like low level script readers or accolytes
yah idf is killing a lot of semites bro. dont twist words. nostr is a more educated crowd and many of us know the history of the region better than you ever will. we know the difference between a murderous regime and a semite. Also. I think you are trying to conflate israel and Judaism, semite and Jew. This is a basic bitch argumentation technique that would get you tossed from 6th grade debate club. I think you know that it is dishonest as well which is even more offensive.
Be better or if someone is paying you to do this thenbe better at your job. rn your arguments are weak and your delivery is trite.
You are defending mass murder. That is disgusting. We see you. We wont forget the murder cheerleaders. You are tainting your life and your family name. The repercussions of that sin will haunt your family for generations. I don't think you understand what you are toying with.
If courage is needed and you dont have it then you are a coward.
If you function and act habitually from fear then likewise, coward.
its not a judgement, its what the word means
Our governments have been using fear to control the populations because they believe we are cowards. I dont think so. I think they are playing a dangerous game. A lot of heroes will emerge when the danger comes to their door.
Hug your people. This is gonna get rough.
