Hmm, actually that could probably work. The code for these things is actually really simple.

In fact, right now Vendata allows you to provide as an input text for an LLM.

So you will be able to tell it:

"find people that have few likes but post interesting things about photography"

and literally have that DVM as one of your columns in e.g. primal or snort or something and it would run every X time and provide you with new people to follow

Pablos IQ must be almost 4000

the NIP is just NIP-90, data vending machines

Imagine if on a client like e.g. Primal, the trending topics had a pagination button and you could paginate through hundreds of different DVMs with completely different algorithms

and imagine if someone, like me, were to build a site, like vendata, were you can see and interact (and choose which one is your favorite so other clients can use that) of countless algorithms

(each one of this DVMs takes maybe 30 minutes to write)

certainly

you can't force that algorithm on people but you can certainly offer it to them

I think there's a lot of appetite for that

I will also make a DVM to find people who post thought-out notes but have little engagement

Oh yeah?

Agreed, I like the way you spelled it out and that’s a good example.

If we’re going to build, algorithms, then I would really like to see an algorithm promoted or suggested that promotes smaller accounts looking to engage with people and even steer people towards real life meet ups.

If I have to, I’ll help build it myself one way or another.

Call it “make friends” mode 🤣

😂😂😂

Difficult to please anyone.

Just keep on rocking it and dont let the bs take a toll. You guys are MASTERS!!

the dude who flips the chron feed on a client is going to be the talk of the town that day nostr:note1aaffrhl2xt3620fsfpn9s3nx3tdu58lvwafuyvtk60hn2k8jvdrqwmgg5n

I sure hope they take a different approach with algos here, allow them to be completely customizable per user to the point that my algo is giving me a completely different feed than yours even if we follow similar people, having different interests means showcasing some of their content and ignoring other parts of the one you don’t care for. But like I said completely customizable by the user on the client level never the protocol level. I’m sure everyone would be happy if something like that existed..

Algos are the last thing I want on nostr.

Even with a decent amount of followers, it often feels like I’m shouting into the void. That’s OK, but it’s really going to suck when algos just make popular people more popular.

I suppose algos could be used to boost newbie and mid-level accounts only, but I really doubt that’s what people are going to build or ask for.

🤷‍♂️

I skipped the entire Web 2.0 social media space for the last 10 to 15 years because I didn’t like the things that it incentivizes. I really want to help build real community and empower regular people to have a voice and ideally make real lasting friendships.

I kinda wish replies to npubs that I have muted wouldn’t show up on my feed

As well as reposts, when someone I follow reposts a note from an npub I have muted it shouldn’t show me that note in my feed
