Primal has probably cached it while damus is trying to get that info on the fly

This is what I meant, using the reply approach would probably lead to a flood of low quality content that tries to capture someone's attention

I get that but this is what I meant

I am aware that the current paradigm for Nostr is smart client/dumb server.

However do you think it might be useful to have some open-sourced algorithm that some "smarter" relays could use and serve notes for different optional feeds - something like "Explore"?

If you subscribe to a relay of specific kind, you can get a specific feed. There will be no tracking, data mining, personalisations, etc., just an algo recommending stuff based on a publicly available data like hashtags, number of likes, reposts, number of account followers, etc.

In the future when Nostr inevitably grows its user base, there will be more and more people trying to share their opinion or find their tribe. If the general recommendation is to just reply to people, then the replies will be flooded with low quality responses, which will be just people trying to be noticed. Having something like "Explore" could help people find what they are actually interested in and engage with it. Interested in music? Hit that #music hashtag and get algorithmically crafted notes relevant to the topic, not just #music notes with "ORDER BY timestamp DESC"

Just my 2 sats, what do you think?

Yeah, I might be wrong but at some point there will be a need for having an algorithm for some specific optional feeds, e.g. "Explore" as long as it is completely open source. I know the current paradigm is smart client/dumb server, but maybe some "smart" relays serving you notes after some some algorithmic (again, open sourced) processing could be useful, after all you are either interested in reading from them or not.

I really wish monuments were working as expected but it seems that young generations notice them only when they disagree with the message they are supposed to send and try to get rid of them. We are so inefficient in passing actual experience through the generations or even across the same generation living in different parts of the world. You can read as many history books as you wish, but you will never actually get what it was like to live during a specific event or under a specific regime until you actually live through something similar and appreciate it because of your direct experience. Just like the popularity of the socialist ideas in the West despite all of the warnings, maybe it is time for people there to play with fire and try to tame it.

We should break the cycle of young people forgetting what their grandfathers fought and died for and appreciate our freedoms without people dying for it en masse.

Yes but imagine what we can achieve with a pro-bitcoin clown in there

We will see, I think the "owners of the matrix" do realize that they either go all in on enslaving us in the next few years/decades or the world breaks free from them once and for all. Both the technology for complete freedom and complete surveillance is already here in its initial form, how it would play out depends on the bravery of the individuals. I think the lockdowns were the perfect litmus test, some countries succeeded, some failed miserably. I am an optimist and I do hope that the majority of people, especially the people who fell for it learnt their lesson and will be immune to the narrative the next time around.

Did he use a wrench or you just owed it to him?

Woww, thank you, you just got zapped straight from my node using Primal.

You know the saying that everyone will get their 15 minutes of fame. It makes total sense since each generation has its "40 years of fame" - their potent and active years. However the next cycle could be much more potent since current situation is a bit different. The boomers are basically still in power and refuse to give it up, they have been "famous" for the past 60 years, effectively stealing 20+ years of "fame" from the next generation. Once this gerontocracy ends, this will cause all of the "potential energy" for change that has been suppressed to be released pretty quickly and the world will change drastically. We will basically skip one generation during the power transfer and the young generation will probably be in power for more than 40 years as well. It will be something like the current situation in the British monarchy - the queen lived for so long, she basically left just a few years to her son to be in power and he will soon be replaced with her grandchild who will probably reign for longer than usual and probably make a bigger impact.

It isn't a problem with Nostr, Amethyst allows me to connect to my node and have everything functional but the UI/UX isn't as good. Primal doesn't give me the option to use my wallet instead of using them as custodians. That's why I was wondering why I see so many @primal.net addresses here, either I am missing something or people just decided they trust Jack and started using his custodial wallet, even if it is for small amounts, like wtf...

Isn't that exactly what the Kondratiev wave is?

Many old people here are still longing for the "good old days", what they actually miss is being young or having the piece of mind that the government is almighty. Most of the people however are immune to stuff like "we", "our" and "us" coming from politicians.

Yes, trying to switch to Amethyst completely because of the native zaps but as much as I hate to admit, the design matters

Just laugh and try to have one of these conversations where you know what they are going to respond each time, then just wish them luck building the utopia 😂

I use it for reading and writing as well because the UI is way better, but I need to switch to Amethyst every time I want to zap someone. I get that you can provide dummy mail, deposit small amount but gaming the system defeats the purpose, isn't nostr supposed to be "not the system" to begin with 😃?
