What a piece of hell is this?

NIP-94 was never intended to be used for inline images in social clients, right? It was meant for those other apps that would create markes for files and other crazy filesharing applications.

Please don't do this. Please don't break backwards-compatibility in these crazy ways.

The definition of a hypertext reference or resource could be revisited.

Afterall, it's strange that Subresource Integrity is not part of nostr notes, considering that in the world of NFTs, JSON referring to external images are hashed.

Very relevant today:

What are #PSY-OPS?

PSY-OPS is an abbreviation for Psychological Operations, a type of warfare that involves the planned use of propaganda and other psychological means to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behaviour of opposition groups.

Such operations are generally intended to demoralize the enemy, to break the enemy's will to fight or resist, and sometimes to render the enemy favorably disposed to one's own position.

There are 5 types of PSY-OPS:

1. Demoralization Psy-Ops

Demoralization is a type of psychological operation which is conducted to mentally weaken a population by making them feel hopeless or powerless to affect change. Demoralization is often the first step in carrying out short-term political coups or long-term cultural disintegration.

2. "False Flag" Psy-Ops

False Flag Operations are Psy-Ops whereby a combatant attacks itself or its own assets and blames the attack on an enemy.

This stirs up political and moral support from the attacker's own people, who then encourage the agressor to respond against the enemy with more agression. This type of Psy-Op has also been called: "Problem - Reaction - Solution" by many analysts and researchers.

3. Disinfo Psy-Ops

Disinformation Psy-Ops inject false information into targeted data-sets in order to lead people away from truth, promote beliefs that weaken or harm an enemy, give people a false sense of hope, or to make certain groups of people look foolish or gullible in the eyes of others.

4. Stand-Down Psy-Ops

Stand-down Psy-Ops are conducted in order to make people believe that someone or some group external to themselves is going to 'save' or 'rescue' them from their current serious or dangerous situation.

The belief that someone is coming to help them, or that some other person or group has the problem in hand, makes them enter into a 'stand-down' mode or conciousness, and thereby take no-real-world action to improve their own situation in the immediate or long term sense.

5. World-View Psy-Ops

World-View Psy-Ops are conducted to completely change the way whole populations think about Reality and the Human condition. These types of Psy-Ops are actually the least-recognized by the human population as a whole, because they are so deeply integrained within human cultural 'norms'. In fact, World-View Psy-Ops are the oldest and most widely employed form of Psychological Operations conducted by the Occult Ruling Class.

Ik hope that some of You have learned something from this. 😉

Today I learnt something

Seems like you should turn off LNURL or Lightning Address instead of onlyzaps mode?

I think for those folks who opt into #onlyzaps, Nostr clients could combine zaps and likes into one button. Afterall, it's a zap with 0 sat.

If you like something on nostr, you should repost it, so word gets around and the content has a chance to gain visibility. Since Nostr is not Twitter, it works on decentralized relays.

Is not always about making money. It's about assigning value to this worthless likes.

Maybe the community could create a bot service that will automatically like all your posts once you set it up via DM.

Real friends don't let friends not use Zaps.

Likes can't be free, otherwise nostr would run rampant with likes count manipulation by automated tools.

Either NIP-13 PoW or some way for users to solve some image recognition puzzle to earn some like tokens, then use them.

Take a look at Nostr retention https://stats.nostr.band/#retention_curves

I've added a couple more graphs to Nostr stats page, and the goal is to try to understand how well Nostr ecosystem retains users.

The graphs show the % of pubkeys that are still writing events after X (up to 30) days after signup (first event). Separate lines are for each monthly cohort of users to see the dynamics.

I don't have much experience analyzing retention, but here is my take on these numbers.

Good news: the curves don't head to 0 - they stabilize after 10-20 days, some some fraction of users does stick.

Bad news: even among high-quality users that got significant engagement from community only 10-15% stick around.

And Match was weird, I guess due to Nostrica.

Do you find this useful?

What else should we measure to go from 'this is nostr retention' to 'here are potential causes of good retention'?

We could do better
