That sucks. What regulatory changes?

I forget who, but I was told someone had started to work on client filtering for Damus. I shared my concept and haven’t followed up since - if we don’t see much action, I may circle back and progress the mock up toward a functional PR.

It’s mostly just Swift UI and data models so far - it’s missing the query hook to filter data. I suspect it may need a couple performance smarts, as pre-rendering is a performance sensitive area. Things like filtering based on NIP05 requires kind0 for that pubkey - so you ideally don’t want to show it, fetch kind0, match on filtered NIP-05 and then hide it.

The filtering/blocking approach used by Amethyst today has a few main faults - the primary one being lack of visibility of app wide filtering. People find out by accident, or at all - which is obviously a sign of a broken approach. I don’t quite see it as censorship, yet more as a poorly functioning content ‘value’ scoring system.

The inability to opt-in and customise your filters is really the lacking feature here. I’m actually surprised just how badly the WoT - trusting 5 nth degree following spam reports = shadow ban content - has performed. It shows that close/greater connected individuals (group clusters) regularly have different preferences and desires to self-curate what they see - instead of having it done on their behalf somehow (I.e. WoT signals). People also report or mute for many reasons - from bad content to “I just don’t care about this type of content”. Breaking News: Humans value different things.

Enabling users to self curate more easily and see how far that gets us is the best approach. We can even add filtering for NIP05 domains, or perhaps relays to avoid connecting to. Even content warning, profanity masking, nudity detection, etc. all done locally on devices without major performance impacts.

Damus POC I mocked up. Damus has active development in this area. nostr:note18z7rqv87qt0nu3v0rajf4ghnrqcnnc3ujgeqy3zswgs2nwh3nq3qmwhnlh

mainnet support

payments to my LND node fail. I have open channels with liquidity. how do I debug?

Hey frens, me & #[1]​ are teaming up with #[2]​ for an exclusive limited quantity shirt for #FrogWalk where certain % of the proceeds from the purchases will go towards supporting our trip to #NostrAsia 🇯🇵🚶

We’ve landed on these 3 designs and would love your help in choosing 1 of the 3 to be the official design of the shirt 🫂

In 24 hours we’ll close out the voting! Thank you all! 💜🐸

Happy Killdozer Day to all who celebrate

good morning 🫡

Here’s a screenshot of #nostrscript which is currently working inside of damus! This script connects to a specific relay (primal) and fetches their trending data using their custom query.

The language im using here is actually AssemblyScript, which compiles to wasm. You can use any programming language in theory to code nostrscripts. Damus executes the wasm binary directly.

These scripts will be the engine of custom list views, allowing a very powerful system for pluggable algorithms. You will also be able to broadcasts these scripts to the network, and damus can automatically list and load them, enabling a marketplace of algorithms.

If you gave me a 1000 sat invoice an hour ago and I didn't pay it yet, please give me another one. I don't want it to expire and the honest truth is my notifications are absolutely wrecked at the moment.
