It’s not centralized control of all media though. We’re talking about two-sentence summaries.
Exactly
And we can only be responsible for ourselves. I don’t think it’s right for us to police things for other people. I guess that’s part of why I’m here.
I’m not sure that it really matters though. How could it be any more “dangerous” than headlines (which we have now)?
I’m also decently sure that soon enough it would mean them summarizing themselves
💅 Habla is getting a facelift thanks to nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac, work in progress!
Looks clean and beautiful!
GM #nostr!
Busy weekend:

How are you spending the weekend?

I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen a scary CBDC argument that has convinced me it’s a problem.
I started using bitcoin as a way to transfer money internationally without suffering enormous fees. At first it was just a financial transaction for me and I wouldn’t have called myself a bitcoiner.
I would now, though I still haven’t “put in the work” — I haven’t read the white paper, I have a rudimentary understanding of the tech, I don’t (and right now can’t) run a node.
Maybe, maybe not. If you're not familiar, check out Kevin Kelly's 1000 true fans: https://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/
I agree that "creators" in the current, narrow, big social media definition probably would rather spend time trying to game an algorithm but ask yourself if they're actually creating anything of real value.
For people building things that bring value, it'll be a slower process but I believe that builders will definitely be able to build solid 6 or 7 figure incomes via V4V (or as it's been known for most of human history, running a small business).
Thanks for the link! I wasn’t familiar with it at all
Right, and I think this points out the weakness.
There’s only a finite pool of “fans”, and manipulating their attention is the value-added that centralized SM provides creators. It’s abstracting away part of the process that V4V would require from the creator themselves.
Also, fracturing this finite pool of consumers (I expect, though maybe I’m wrong) would drive the median profit down.
The problem is reaching critical mass.
The average person won’t join because they aren’t incentivized to join and because not enough of their friends are here.
Either we need ~~influencers~~ creators who can drive interest, or we need some accessible and desirable feature. (Or both)
I actually came here following #[3], but quickly was won over at the concept of “multiple apps, one key”.
Yeah I got +/- the same and was blown away actually. (Graph theory, go figure).
But I loved how you can see things like “trending for this network”.
Have you used primal?
I kind of like that kind1 notes are unedittavke, mistakkes and all
It not only increases centralization, but it dramatically lowers trust. There's a share of the population every week that might step into bitcoin -- not necessarily as an orange-piller, but open their first wallet at least. And I think it's the responsibility of those of us in the community to make it look as sane and normal as we can.
> there is no need for knee jerk reactions for things- the desire to constantly tweak a monetary system in response to stimuli is why fiat currency and other crypto currencies exist
This is a fundamentally important idea
