Western society was the salvation of this planet. Billions were hauled out of poverty and hunger. The rise of the middle class was a miracle.

Now Western society, in it's lazy ignorance and self-satisfied navel gazing, is on the verge of letting all that get torn down.

Not as much as X and Elon musk already have.

Hate isn’t incentivized here. It will exist, but harder to amplify, easier to cut off. nostr:note1u4gvpl890ydtqhnx44cameu6k43498h7r09pzywj6666ntvw5ucslcr4ke

how much will nostr accelerate the distribution of hate?

Not much, I hope. The algorithms on centralized platforms are likely responsible for most online hate. Here on Nostr, we have #freewill.

how much will nostr accelerate the distribution of hate?

Interesting. I had no idea zaps could even be faked. I'll have to look into that more.

I counted my followers. I'd say 80% of them are fake.

I suspect the % of followers on other X profiles are close to that.

Nostr profiles are already figured out how to get fake followers. I've always suspected X & the internet was mostly fake.

Can Bitcoin solve this issue?

#Bitcoin

Zaps can be gamed just as well, everything needs web of trust and trust scoring as a foundation

This may sound ironic and/or counterintuitive, but can you try reducing your relays down to less than 10?

i2p is another interesting option! Would be cool to see i2p relays

I don’t think so, zeronet is more for static content

Zeronet ?

I love building on nostr. I can just think of an idea for a way to interact with nostr and implement it.

No need to ask for permission or buy api credits to some system that can shut me out.

nostr not only affords unrestricted and uncensorable speech for all, but it also enables us devs to build whatever we want without restrictions. It is flexible enough to build tons of new experiences that all interoperate.

Twitter clients are just the tip of the iceberg. Admittedly a very cool usecase that I’m still focused on, but a desktop client has a lot more real estate which I plan to take advantage of to explore more interesting interactions. nostr:note1z9a794kfqku057nrwd87kar4xy97jdf3vl9llmcluf745agrf6ps9gj9gg

Nostr isn't a success until we have journalists breaking news here that wouldn't be allowed anywhere else

All of the notes onscreen are being queried from nostrdb in realtime, which means you could have millions of notes and scroll forever.

The only memory use is what the OS is virtually paging in and out from nostrdb. All i need is a custom scrollbar that shows what point in time you are currently at.

nostr time travel 😎 nostr:note1e8h76fpjj0t5n8lkc7ul2n8u8lstj2h39xrastuxm9plwhg0krxsacjyg0

im literally registered with the dea, medical boards, doj (who do u think runs the dea), fbi (they have my fingerprints for background checks for hospital clearance), etc etc.

i cannot do such things EVEN if i can somehow verify my credentials in an anonymous way

privacy in healthcare is an absolute myth.

how many _millions_ of people's private health information have been leaked from institutions tasked with the safekeeping of said info?

privacy is the reason why i, a physician who started using telehealth straight out of residency in 2016, still use a FAX MACHINE.

how many 3rd, 4th, and 5th parties are privy to this "private" information? each, a point of attack and failure.

etc
