I don’t like doing it either, but it needs to be said that #plebchain is a direct assault on the influencer-simp model of Bitcoin Twitter and that’s a good thing

Maybe, but you could know a lot more now that you’re here

How are you finding people? Global is untraversable right now

Both before and after

You were gone for so long, I was beginning to wonder if you’d been involved in a tragic ballooning accident

The non-algorithmic way would be: if those users are following enough high-signal accounts, the other interesting posts they might be missing will appear in their TL through reposts

Comments are a better indicator than likes, sure, but it still doesn’t address the issue of a client having to make a somewhat arbitrary decision on what users get to see. Most will agree on basic ground truths: spam is bad; porn is bad; gratuitous violence is bad. Create those filters and give users the option to turn them on. Beyond that, it become a subjective and arbitrary algorithm, IMO

This thing is growing too fast 😂

Looks like #[0] is here. Hi Jimmy!

Why are Bitcoin meet-ups and conferences the happiest places to go to? Why is nostr the happiest place on the internet?

Moral clarity. When you have moral clarity, you sleep soundly at night. You don’t grapple with subconscious demons, questioning your life choices. That’s what we have.

You’re at peace, and from that peace, you find a lightness of being and joy.

And that happiness is infectious. We have an opportunity to bring more into our midst and spread this uncontrollable feeling.

Replying to Avatar The Nostr Report

A message from the NostReport team:

We love the discussions popping up around notifications, tagging, and post length with NostReport. We are a group of plebs that are enthusiastic about Nostr and its potential for changing social networking, its ability to be a vehicle for the value-4-value model and bitcoin adoption, and ultimately its by-design nature that gives us each ownership over our identity and data.

We started NostReport because we saw a need for some way to keep up with the rapid pace of development here. We are early, all of us. As users, client devs, relay operators, nip-05 providers, content hosting providers, and content creators, etc., we are ALL early. In just the last few weeks there have been so many improvements implemented across these segments that it’s very easy to forget how far Nostr has already come.

Regarding NostReport specifically, we had a lengthy discussion amongst our team and we believe it is important to continue giving proper credit and attribution by tagging relevant accounts where appropriate. We will use our best editorial discretion in doing so, but we don’t have any plans to change that approach. We acknowledge that the “earliness” of all of this means not everything works exactly the same as it may if we were on another platform. But we are not on those platforms for a reason, and so we all deal with the growing pains of not yet having features that we wish existed.

Some features we hope to see implemented include the ability to manage notifications, including muting notifications stemming from a specific post/thread. We would also like to see clients truncate longer posts to a certain character count and then giving users the option to “view more.” We have seen this feature on snort.social and believe it is a good way to handle long form posts. Longer form posts also get harder to read with the way some clients auto-refresh their feeds. Even if you click on a post to open it sometimes the client randomly kicks you out of that view and back to the home feed and you lose your place completely. We suggest an option to turn off auto-refresh and give users a way to manually refresh when desired. We would like to see a better way to preview posts and formatting/tagging before publishing. Currently we must DM them to ourselves, which results in even more unwanted notifications for users we tag. We are happy to give feedback or discuss further with any devs that would like more input.

Lastly, we want to reiterate why we’re here. We love Nostr. We want to see it continue to grow and succeed and give everyone back control of their voice and online identity. We appreciate you following NostReport and hope that you’ll continue to give us feedback on how we can improve. Stay classy Nostr. 🤙

Love it. If it’s not in the Nostr Report, it ain’t news

Derek has a superpower- if he puts an invoice out there, it will get paid

Ser sleepy is not just any pleb, he’s a legend who had 103 relays connected at one point today

It’s gone down by 1, but still an eye-watering number. Captured for posterity

When I click on your profile in damus, it only loads one post from last night, that’s it

It looks like two ethereum logos reverse spooning
