true. you are right. every user has a choice which client and to whom to give out their data.

the same choice were given to them by the centralised social media platform.

sadly, not all users are aware that they were being served content to intentionally manipulate them. users thought it was normal and even to this day, if you asked people from developing countries, they would probably thought it is normal.

hence, I chose to move here.

However, endorsing #nostr as an alternative on the basis that "it does not use tricks like other big tech or centralised social media platform, attention grabbing!" is very dangerous claim.

Yes, there is no ads YET but this does not mean it won't CHANGE! Netflix (although not decentralised but they have ads now!).

This type of FALSE PRETENSE that it is resilient to this methodology is misleading and this is how you lost trust from your user base!

My point, products and services FREE or NOT starts from a place of trust. If the main website is telling opposite and the developer doc is different, don't you think this #grownostr community deserve to know?!

Not everyone here are technically savvy. #nostr is gaining traction, it makes sense to make sure that technical facts are align to what is written on the code. Unless what the dev's team wrote are obsolete then that doc must be removed!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the experience that I have here esp with the people I met.

I do not want to start in a new platform BEING MISLED based on the misunderstanding from other user based here. This is how fake news start!

Again, every user has a CHOICE and every user has the right to transparency to make a wise informative decision.

Nost has this vision that the community comes from its people. As part of that community, I want this to be known to other people so they fully understand what they are getting!

Good convo!😀

Nostr is NOT PsyOps nor Algorithm resistance - architecturally speaking!...

Here is why:

As opposed to what I read from other people's posts here and what I first thought of Nostr that "it does not have an algorithm to beat like the centralised platforms where you are not served by contents based on what you like, based on your likes or engagement patterns, etc."

This is technically NOT TRUE! The documents that I read from the developer of Nostr says otherwise.

"Techniques to trick the user:

Each client can decide how to best show posts to users, so there is always the option of just consuming what you want in the manner you want — from using an AI to decide the order of the updates you’ll see to just reading them in chronological order. " @fiatjaf from

https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html

Yes, at the moment, as far as my user experience from the clients that I am using. I am consuming content feed based on chronological order or based on the filters of feed that I want like in Primal - eg Latest, Trending, #travel, Latest Replies, etc.

But this does not mean it will never change!

It only means NO CLIENTS yet (not that I am aware of, or at least I have not used yet!) have the same algorithm as most centralised platforms where encourages you to consume more content based on which content attracts you the most!

As a former programmer and a data consultant, I became curious about the architecture of Nostr. Hence, I took time to read the above and nostr-resources. However, I am very keen for any references that you can recommend for further reading to expand my understanding of #nostr.

As someone new to this platform and really rooting for its success because of its opportunity and potential. I believe as a user it is worth knowing the future of Nostr strategically speaking.

At the end of the day, every projects, start-up or innovation requires funding. I am yet to find the plans for nostr. I have not read the NIPS yet so will be next.

USER DATA CONTROL:

Where I am not clear from the docs is about the user data control.

1.) Delete Events or Notes:

In order for clients to query and retrieve my events or posts, it must be stored somewhere. I have to requests to DELETE EVENTS/Notes depending on the clients that I used. I have not used clients yet that let me delete my notes without needing to contact the client's admin . This user effort is not ideal. Perhaps this is already on the to-do lists of devs?

2.) Account deletion. I know each user has public key but I do not believe I can DELETE my public key should I wish so. Or at least I can only see deletion of my posts/notes functionality. I don't believe this functionality is available yet or will be available. From the docs that I read Nostr is decentralised through Relays and each relays do not have to communicate with each other. But some have already the capability to broadcasts your data for further distribution. Does this mean my public key along with its metadata, once out there, it is FOREVER there? I am genuinely curious because I have not seen this on my research yet. I know everything is tag as EVENTS and each events has its "kind".

Any further reading about data control or reference guide is greatly appreciated!

Enjoy your Sat night! 😀

will look into it. thanks 😊

True.

However, not everyone speaks with truth regardless whether on the internet or face to face. It is unwise to believe that everyone speaks the TRUTH just because we live to speak the truth, fact based. Not everyone is ready to hear the truth and even if they do, their social conditioning, their upbringing will stop them from seeing "REALITY" vs "THEIR REALITY".

We need to learn to accept that there will be people in this world with varying values and beliefs. Just because we seek TRUTH and we want to speak on fact based, it does not mean everyone wants the same.

My point, we should be willing to have an open dialogue, a conversation, and open discussion. Let's all be mindful of our biases. Before we react, label every conversation as hate speech. Ask ourselves, why am I labelling it as HATE.

Is it because those phrases are offensive to me or aggresive?

Let's admit different culture have different tolerance of what is offensive and not, HATE or not.

As someone who grew up in the East and live in the West, two different culture, I completely understand this by experience.

Hence, there is Law and Order. But if the very fabric of it, the very institutions who put the bill, are struggling to be honest and transparent to their people, I believe this is an ongoing challenge.

All we can do is start the change from within. There is no community unless we do not work within ourselves.

Good discussion though! 😊

Have a good one!

indeed. When things are left undefined and left to the imagination to those who are "supposedly" execute the law is very dangerous! We know who will be left as collateral!

Let's brighten up our day! The world will always have crises to deal with and that is life!

But it does not mean we cannot have fun at the same time!

Meet this lil fella - the smallest monkey in the world, tarsier 🐒🍌

Have good one!

spot on!💯👏

the only thing I miss is the storage options for video content. It is limited atm and whilst I do not mind paying, the storage is not competitive to other storage. My only alternative is usingy own hosting which in a wag gave me more control. It is a win-win for me.

downloaded the btc map but it seems slow or is it me?

thank you. yes very noob indeed. I appreciate your help and patience with me. 😀😅

The crises that the UK is facing right now is hearbreaking...!

But what you allow will continue. It is well and good when you say we live in a DEMOCRATIC country. C'mon, let's be real. Are we truly democratic?

I mean when banks decide who can have a bank or who can access their money at their mercy, that is democracy, isn't it?

Only the people you rubbed shoulders with will get the first opportunity of over a million pound of PPE contracts then close down the business, that is democracy right?

When you thought you vote and exercise your civil rights but only to realise you were precondition to choose those party or candidates under the notion, you have the right to vote and you are well aware that social media could not possibly conditioned or pushed pschological surveys or content to persuade you to vote certain candidates?! Oh, Cambridge Analytics is a democracy right?

I can go on and on and on...

But until we start thinking that change is not possible unless we become 1st conscious of our own action, our way of thinking and truly reflect, what legacy we want to leave behind then we cannot complain for putting the shuckles on us!

You cannot blame the gov't if you put them there !

Am I going to complain, violently express my rights in the hope of democracy or am I going to do something about it, the right way?

The first act of change is the acknowledgement that you need it. 2nd is evaluate your choices, what has to change, what future or society you want to be part of?

Is violence the answer? If yes, at to what end? If no, then review your life that led you to here, THE NOW!

Assess our choices and take back your power, conscious consumerism, CONSCIOUS CHOICE!

Stop the blame game and do something! Even if it means stop giving money to those corporate oligarchs which see as nothing but a number to their bottomline. Go beyond the facade, the nice words and stop falling on the same trap that got you to whatever anger and discontent you have!

For once, do not give in to power!

The question now is:

Do you have the brevity to regain your power?

I am a bit lost!...

In one hand people say they want "FREEDOM of SPEECH" but when they hear something that disagree their belief system, their conditioning or something that they are not accustomed to or something unnatural to them or not align with their values, you tagged it as "HATE SPEECH"?

You cannot ask one thing and aboloshed the other because you disagree with them. The beauty of FREE SPEECH is to have DIVERSE OPINION. It means whether you agree with my OPINION or NOT, it is still my RIGHT.

So you cannot use the HATE SPEECH only when it suits you!

Can you DEFINE what do you consider as HATE SPEECH because I cannot find it on the legal system! Or have I missed something?

Tell me, are we really EXERCISING OUR FREE SPEECH or are we EXERCISING our BIASES?

Thoughts #nostr?

ty. I do not mind #btc. I want to transact with it. I know there are shops who accept #btc but it is limited atm. Can you ise #btc as a card like debit?

thank you for your response. Is strike has no-kyc?

#asknostr

new tribe,

If I want to use #btc or other #cryptocurrency to purchase something in the shop, either use cc or debit without using fiat is it possible?

If yes, any decent recommendations?

the chellenge is they want to put it in law that hate speech is illegal! But we all know "hate speech" is subjective. Unless someone can properly DEFINE when it is considered a "HATE". A government who is soo into "saving the planet by reducing CO2" but cannot define proper metrics what does it mean then that speaks volume! 🤭

It is getting worser by the day. 🥴

Scared to love again?

Have you promised yourself to never love again?

Is avoiding the pain after a traumatic breakup the answer?

How can you find the gifts of your painful heartache and learn to open up again?

Curious?...

Watch my video and let me know what is holding you back? 🤔👇
