gn, for the people living in tomorrow, I did this yesterday morn

nostr:note1vdsq4lu3ddxsafxnqnu2zjnyzrjnmkujtpv2fl3rq9xh30z6m64qzqw3k6

šŸ’Æ it’s regular or normal, I’m on the ground this ain’t a plane

the problem with pwa in regards to nostr on iOS, I suspect this will be true for safari save to dock. Is they can’t access an extension.

I need to learn how to implement 46 or something similar, hopefully the upcoming sdk includes, and because of that technical limitation of extension access for pwa hopefully ndk helps us noobs there as well

the only things I’ve used it for is, delta, pebble watch app, pokemmo, and now sideus. I think for those not wanting to walk away from apple because of losing one tap, its aesthetic comfortable for those who haven’t done any side loading. I’m gonna have to test out sideloadly tho.

it looks definitely more feature rich… let me know if the ipa works for you (even if you just create a test account).

if you on a free account is there an interface that reminds you after 7 days to go resign?

side loaded damus that retains one tap zaps

maybe i should add emoji support to sideus.app/

just open feeds probably isn’t a good idea, hashtags for that. but if there is a way to say these pubkeys are approved for auto submission and a way to update that list, and a dialog for due notice about the intention. Although I like 172 just think it should be called curated topics to avoid this critical reaction to the phrasing ā€œReddit-likeā€. And maybe pre approved should be an separate community add on nip.

So I have a totally different perspective on this. I do not believe that moderated communities on nostr are 'censorship'. On the contrary, I think that independently-governed spaces are (and will increasingly become) one of the most important tools we have in the fight *against* censorship.

I will explain how I came to that conclusion, but first let me try to steelman what I think you're saying.

Reddit has obviously been crippled by censorship. Like, it's is basically a psyop at this point. So I 100% agree with you that if nostr communities are implemented in the same way that reddit communities are implemented, nostr will, sooner or later, slide down the path of becoming censorious and irrelevant just like reddit.

So why do I think sub-communities on nostr will *not* lead to censorship?

It comes down to nostr's architecture. The fact is, all data on nostr is public and uncensorable by default because notes are signed and distributed redundantly across multiple relays. Therefore, on it's not possible for the mod of a nostr community to delete your post or ban you without everyone knowing. Unlike reddit, mod actions on nostr are 100% transparent, and mods are therefore accountable for the actions they take. Satellite's interface displays a *public modqueue* for every nostr community. Mods are replaceable because communities are forkable.

I'm sure you'd agree that it's necessary to delete spam, right? If there isn't some mechanism in place to delete spam, every feed in every community would be 100% ads. Right now we're all relying on relays to fight the spam battle, but that won't work forever. This leads me back to my point about why I think communities on nostr are actually a way to prevent censorship.

Censorship prevents communication. One way of preventing communication is by silencing people. Denying people the ability to speak. Signal *blocking*.

What's less obvious is that another way to censor people is by signal *jamming*. They way you do that is by increasing the noise. Imagine trying to be heard in a room of a thousand people all shouting at the top of their lungs.

It comes down to signal/noise ratio. Whether you reduce the signal or increase the noise, the result is the same.

Nostr already does a relatively good job defending against signal blocking, but we're still vulnerable to signal jamming in the form of unmitigated spam and potentially even AI-powered psyops. My viewpoint is that communities (transparently curated and moderated by humans) are how we scale nostr while making it *more* censorship-resistant.

I'm the developer of Satellite (I just pushed and update with these nostr communities yesterday). I want to avoid this being something that divides nostr. If you disagree with my reasoning I want to understand why. nostr:note1vgtuq6rpyy2ycru23gtj7qhaj2p7mlml29sd7zkyte2lphrfa4csz5favv

it’s just curated topics, 172 is a very cool way to do this, but there isn’t moderation nor is there community, its so far from ā€œReddit-likeā€

a curator selects and organizes before exhibit

a moderator reacts and presence helps avoid

I would like to see a nostr first implementation of topic specific communities, and as I said curated topics are very cool and much better than hashtags, but this just ain’t Reddit or Facebook group-like except for the most extreme cases which arent the intention of the product, and turn their respective community tools simply into a curated topic.

after 24 hours with the Mac Studio the climate of my apartment is different, the ac isn’t just fighting the space heater that is the 5,1. hopefully this translates into my power bill.

sideus also can be useful if you run a second account and want to jump back and forth quickly whilst keeping things open and where they are

the one thing I’ll try to catch for sideus 0.2 is that flickering relay count in the top right, it’s still there in 1.5(6)

Otto the Automator was so much better
