What nostr client is your favorite? I'm alternating between Coracle and Primal, on browser.
#asknostr
#Amethyst
If it were made out of #Bitcoin, yes.
Really? 🤔
Actually, besides the obvious reasons I wouldn't use #Twitter, I also hate the UI. It looks like they took a mobile page, zoomed into it by 500%.
I cannot look at things, when they are magnified with the hubble telescope.
Alcohol is addictive too, but most people tend to be relatively responsible about their consumption.
Indeed. #NostrOnly is the real deal. Stop hanging onto obsolete shit. 🙂

I’m far from a nostr expert, but the lack of technical knowledge might help the everyday guy/gal get into it.

The #RaspberryPi5 is announced & I am hyped.

Putting all followed npubs in a single pool is the opposite of simple to me.
I opened a #PullRequest on #SimpleX' #GitHub.
https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/pull/3126
It rewrites the #Documentation for using #SQLite in the form of #SQLcipher, to investigate chat messages from the #SimpleX #Database #Backup.

Skimming & ignoring sounds all well on paper, but in reality, everything you see & consume costs time, energy & attention. It drains you, no matter how fast you scroll by.
Our brains aren't computers, which can just immediately forget such stuff, when it's irrelevant.
From my experience, bare reposts have a place, although it's controversial.
For example, reposts are excellent for sharing something from another community into your community.
Sure, you could also quote it, but, as previously mentioned, people would then start quoting & not actually add any content.
Just what I thought about, as well. You cannot stop boosts, because people will do it either way. Even if you forbid event & note link resolution, you can still post the link & explain the content.
Essentially, a cave man's reposting mechanism. 🤷
#ThiefLivesMatter
Okay, let me give you an example of only actual humans, based on my real experience on #Nostr.
After I joined, I followed various accounts, mostly lead by humans. For the sake of this explanation, I don't count in any non-humans.
I followed an art related npub, which is lead by a human.
This npub shared tons of posts *every single day*, while other humans shared something maybe once in two days or sometimes less.
Even the humans who posted once or twice a day, were completely suffocated by the amount of content from this one artsy npub.
From this experience one of the first npubs I unfollowed was a human, who posted nice arts but it was way too much & often for me & my feed ecology.
Wouldn't this use case perhaps apply to a scenario in your feed?
Or are you already weeding out such potential problems by not following them in the first place?
In this example, I would've loved to have the option to mute all posts of the artsy channel & instead get a summary of the most liked posts of the week, or whatever criteria.
For me, it's the absolute opposite.
I was annoyed, when #YouTube changed its star rating system to like & dislike. Now it's only like, anyway.
The same way I never understood how people just "follow" everyone the same way, when clearly not all followed deliver content of exactly the same quality for you.
I have this issue on #GitHub & now on #Nostr, as well.
Like, everyone follows each account for different reasons.
Would you put RSS bots in the same category as literal humans traveling around the world? I think, not.
So, I basically experience a feed with lots of crap, because everything is in the same pool of "followed" npubs.
I want to follow all, but I'm not interested the same way & same degrees in all the content each npub publishes.
Therefore, especially the Super Follow & Follow thing makes absolute sense to me.
Like, I already had to unfollow so many people on #Nostr, simply because they crap up my feed with too many posts. I want to follow them, but I simply cannot, due to the lack of such a filtering & categorisation mechanic.
I think we need different types of "follow". What about something like this:
1. Friend — this person doesn't show up in my feed. But I like them, and want to keep track of them, and maybe be reminded of them on occasion (hey hodlbod, here's what your friend X has been up to this summer). I trust them, and want to factor their opinions in to content recommendations generated for me.
2. Follow — I want to know what this person says if it has engagement, is popular, or matches some other filter, like topics I've expressed interest in. The Hacker News bot might fit in this category.
3. Super Follow — I want to see everything this person says. These are the people on my "pure signal" list currently.
4. Subscribe — these are people you don't care about, and whose opinions you don't care about per se, but are people who get paid (either by you or by advertisers) to recommend content or products. Could be bots or influencers. You'd never see their content, but you would see things recommended by them.
Items #2 and #3 are variants of the same thing, and could be conflated by assigning a decimal value to your follow (suggested by nostr:nprofile1qqsfcts2suzpxaeuhy2mnjwd9cwt69l98t3tp2r2hf09hu8uz0zzp5spzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyuurtjm earlier, but I used to have something like this in Coracle).
The first category is entirely different though, because the value of the relationship is not based on what they say, but who they are. I honestly don't want to see anything my mom posts to social media unless she tags me in it (in which case she'll email me). But she's one of the most important people in my life.
Likewise the final category. This is an entirely transactional-type relationship, and is exploited to provide additional social signal to otherwise neutral content.
So, any other categories? This is really quite similar to nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsxp7af9 's "relationship status" nip, but with more ability to quantify what clients can do based on the relationship. It could also be implemented (of course) using NIP 32.
Good ideas.
