wassup nostr?? #asknostr

Why is the ex that set me up to be raped and abused me for years, texting me and calling me by his ex's name? And playing on my phone?

{Haven't spoken to him in years since I've been in recovery}

#asknostr

Whole years go by without my ever thinking about him at all. It's glorious!

Wording comes off weird. I meant "soft" like, not a complete mute. Not like "being soft"

I was implying, you could have a muting functionality that's softer than a other

app's muting, but still a toxic way to deal with people online unless it's so different it barely counts

Then what is muting?

If it's soft enough to be a fair way to treat your fellow humans, I don't think "muting" is the right word for it. Rate limiting or deprioritizing or something might be more fair

As #bitcoin continues to climb in USD terms; instead of saying “I told you so!” ask “How can I help?” We didn’t rebel to take the “seats”, we came to destroy the system and build a bridge to the stranded.

#proofofwork

also I still see some posts from muted users. Jumble is good about how it handles that

i ENJOY telling the world who is a dick. why would anyone not like that?

If you can't handle reality, permanently muting people is a way to shield yourself from whatever they can teach you.

If you can handle reality, permanently muting people is just crippling yourself and causing harm.

Your ideal self shouldn't be scared of hearing anyone's words.

now, to bring up another disagreement. what in the world is wrong with having a mute list? follows and mutes, two basic inputs for a feed algorithm. why not avail thyself of both?

I don't have the energy to properly respond to your objections. for now, I will keep on building and plan to release a prototype within a week

as much as I admire the minimalist design in Jumble, I think some things could be added to the UI to improve curation of your WoT. here is a tweak I made to show user avatars for each reaction, and a green or red circle around them to indicate followed and untrusted profiles

now I think we're just talking past each other

I think we're just dealing with fundamental limits of physics and information systems. if you don't have a stable connection, you always outsource trust to someone who does

Right, so it's not gonna magically spread without working

BitTorrent "popularizes self hosting" because people can self host it and have it work

Nostr is a client server model, trying to "popularize self hosting" is trying to upgrade everyone's position to a deep state agent with safe and stable online hosting available

it's still a client/server model. my client runs on my home server, and it connects to public servers (relays)

Imagine a social feed algorithm that doesn’t just show you what’s popular, it shows you what’s relevant in your circle of trust.

The more popular someone is, the harder it is for their post to show up in your feed. Why? Because big accounts already get tons of attention. To cut through, their post has to earn extra engagement from people you trust.

It’s like turning down the volume on megaphones and tuning in to real signals from your community.

No more being flooded by influencers.

No more viral junk just because it’s viral.

Just real content, rising naturally from your web of trust.

Let trust, not clout, guide your feed.

selected psychopath actors, involved, bribed or blackmailed

What if I just think nostr design sucks and wanna explain why and how it should work instead?

I am not here to steal users, there are much better strategies for growth than coercing a cult.

You can just ignore things. 👌

Are you stupid?

Modern cryptography makes is possible to send data from A to B through insecure channels. You don't have to trust the middelman. What does the circuit in a satellite can do to change that?

I've made a few small adjustments, could you try again and see if it works now?

If it's convenient, feel free to share the link to the other post you copied the images from, that would help me test it more easily on my end.

it's ostracism

and i support saying the truth even if it insults people who are fervertly believing in bullshit.

also, literally, if "muh privacy" was all important then how do you expect that the public will hear the criticism of dumb ideas if they don't say it in public? it has to be to some degree public. i would argue that the moment you tell anyone it starts to become public, and once two people hear it, it's basically a given that someone is either going to tell someone else this idea or shout and scream about how offensive it is.

lola can write whatever she wants. but pointing at a small mempool like there is some problem with it proves that she doesn't understand that bitcoin's payment volume is moving to lightning. in fact, it proves it because i for one have moved at least as much btc around using lightning as i have by using lightning, i get paid in bitcoin, and then i swap it into my lightning node so i can spray it at my bank account to do my expenses.

people who have been bravely and purposefully stacking bitcoin for a long time and are keeping a really solid surplus in their personal savings don't need to transact online once they open a few big 1Msat sized channels. so the mempool is getting smaller and smaller. for at least a few years now, the majority of the times of big volume has been shitcoiners writing garbage to the blockchain to fleece idiots.

Not at all from what I have understood

It’s disabled in OpenBSD

You're getting hung up on marketing slogans that would be violated if the OS spied on the user which it might well be doing but you shit on this project for not acknowledging it might be doing this? Come on, get real.

More plz 🤓

Time for your pills?

Most wallet apps claim to be the most secure, probably because clients search for "the most secure". What do you want to do about that?

Got it. Nirvana fallacy much.

Not managing to connect between to Android phones running OxygenOS from OnePlus.

I didn't, tbh.

Funnily, it was proprietary and not secure!

We can and we must do better 10 years later.
