What do you guys think the world really needs from open-source, online communities right now? I'm building yet another microblogging thing. It's awesome and I think you guys are going to really like it. But I feel like there's some idea floating in the ether that we haven't grasped yet. Something new.

I really wish it would "self-custody" would morph into "self-utxo management". Because it's a crucial aspect that self-custody proponents have overlooked in amping people into cold storage.

No, because delete is really flaky. Thinking of bringing it back though

You're right, we should. We already threw a ton away

Or even better, `map[string][]map[string]int`. In typescript that would be `Record[]>`

They are not. Both under water and in the air they protect the "South Pole" / Antarktica like there would be hidden treasures 😅😅 or anyone would be a terrorist coming near the poles #antarktica #icewall #flatearth

Some people do that. I should probably switch to that.

It's a kind 1, but posted to the Coracle group

it uses openai’s content moderation features. it’s not perfect but it helps. we need to write up more about using it and how it works.

As silly as it sounds, any user could have an AI assistant automatically apply content warnings for them. No need for others to do it nostr:note13952034xgnu9dw8f9vyrrf2cdewuwggm679st4v6vvmzlafdyf5qd4paq7

People are naturally tribal. Leaders are integral to the ActivityPub model, in which people accumulate around charismatic admins. It's not really a centralizing factor as long as people can move between servers (they can't really on ActivityPub; you can murder your whole ship).

It's interesting how people talk about Mastodon admins being worse than Big Tech jannies. Usually they are, but it's not an inherent flaw in human nature or anything, it's just that Mastodon as a project attracts people who are childish, narcissistic, and dramatic. It's totally possible to be a balanced and reasonable admin, although it gets harder as the community grows. Which brings me to the next problem of Mastodon being maximalist software architecture. It's great for sites like Truth Social who can throw money at the problem to scale, and terrible for sites with 10 users because they can't afford to keep hosting it.

But we have to recognize the ways in which the model helped the Fediverse explode. Which is why I'm trying to strike a balance with Ditto. Mastodon's community model on top of a network where users aren't held captive.
