Shipped a relatively bug free Nos to the App Store. Facilitated the pivot to Communities.

This piece speaks to both the power of collective action to bring about innovation and the grift inherent in the current innovation economy. We’ve figured out how to support cutting edge research but then the products resulting from the collective support are privatized - limiting access while enriching a few. It is not enough to simply raise money. https://www.propublica.org/article/zolgensma-sma-novartis-drug-prices-gene-therapy-avexis

We will not survive this without some sort of information dissemination network. However, the current one has been failing for awhile and this week it seems the shitty breaks are finally giving way. https://www.garbageday.email/p/yeah-it-s-probably-time-to-panic

I’m not familiar with the UI in amethyst but you would want to switch the feed to view only news.nos.social to see the news feed. @Vitor Pamplona do you support single relay views?

Would yall consider adding nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 newsbots:

nostr:note1u2mq98h7maneuvfzh88hmk88g76smjw0n9vwhcy04ttu8lnr0k6sfcv579

Sure the ones that are active.

This is the one of the best post-election deep dives.

“The problem is that the consultant class has led every politician to believe that if they just have the right formula, they can put in any candidate, churn them through the machine, and people will vote for that candidate. And that’s not true,” she said.

“The Democrats have shown that they don’t have any principles, that they will follow the polls, that if they just talk about the economy and kitchen-table issues in such a way that they don’t actually have to promise anything, then they’ll win next time. But they will lose.”

No. I don’t think I’m familiar with that. Can you share the NIP05 or npub?

We selected outlets and wrote a script to include their notes. The feed includes participants from the Journalism Accelerator as well as other outlets with consistent note publishing cadence.

Maybe via negativa reduces the noise to signal ratio nostr:npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua. If applied transparently in a way that empowers the user, maybe that improves retention for non-btc cohorts. nostr:note1jnkfdpqsg3pap87cqk9dun82tvwp74c5qzfcnj6k8c2e7ztdajqshy0lpz

I think this is an interesting approach. Until recently we did not encourage users to check out the global feed much on Nos. We also included some filters on the relay for hateful content and I believe porn but I’d have to double check the latter.

I would be curious to hear from folks if the issue is too much of what you don’t want to see or simply not enough content you want to see.

I rarely look at a global feed here after too many encounters of porn. I rely on the people I follow to show me new and interesting users.

From this morning’s frozen pond “slide” walk.

Nos has a news relay that anyone can subscribe to. We recently added more news outlets to it. You can add the relay to your list: news.nos.social

If anyone has suggestions of other outlets to add let me know if the replies below.

We can spin up a bitcoin news relay pretty easily as well, so if you have ideas for that one include them below.

The apps I’m aware of that make it easy to view relay content are Nos and Damus. You can the Nos version below.

Every round of research asks for more, diverse content eg different types of content.

I regularly share articles from elsewhere but they receive little traction here. It’s possible people read them and forget to repost them or they zap them and forget to repost them. Or people just want memes on Nostr.

The platform pay rates for content creation are wildly low….

“she explained that the same educational videos she shares on YouTube make more money per million views on Pornhub because Pornhub offers better rates—$1,000 per million views on Pornhub versus YouTube’s $340 per million views.”
