Be wary of formal fine-grained content 'classification' proposals for Nostr that claim to help individual communities or specific groups (sexuality, children, religion); as they are effectively future backdoor censorship for all content - even if well intentioned today.

If your community or group needs to opt-into a 'self-isolation bubble' for whatever reason, that's a perfect use case for community run private relays. You can even moderate, and censor your community with your own rules, and even have special punishments - it just doesn't belong in a protocol designed to prevent censorship and arbitrary moderators making decisions on behalf of others.

I’ve been contemplating a proper use of NIP-95 (I do like the idea) and maybe creation of a special relay/CDN for that. It does open a lot of interesting use cases, if we have data as a note. One problem that I find hard to swallow is inevitable increase of the size due to inefficiencies of base64 (about 1.37 times). This probably will rule it out for use in mobile applications (telcos charge a lot per bits) but for some cases it might be OK.

After some research, I think creating a serverless relay to work with CDN is not impossible, and can be even cost effective. What do you think would be some good use cases for files in notes?

There’s a lot of new nostriches lately coming on board, be vigilant, verify and question everything. Some are real, some are not so just be cautious and careful 🫂💜

I think there's something weird that needs to be improved 🤔

Likes are useless without the central algorythm

Reposts, comments and #zap only should be the way to go💫

After sleeping on it I’ve kinda changed my mind. I’m now favoring #[2]​‘s approach. It gives accessibility options and if the file is changed or goes missing (404) then the relays can be queried for another URL for the same file. That’s kinda major. That to me is backwards compatibility and worth the hassle of the change.

Use multiple, problem solved. 🐶🐾🫡

Nip 94 is metadata. Nip 95 is full file in relays.

I don’t know, DIDs are too complicated to even answer a question like this

Any way I can zap with 1-click or 2-clicks on damus? Right now it’s 3 clicks (tap lightning bolt, choose wallet, press send in WoS) or 5 clicks because WoS sometimes doesn’t load the invoice on first try and have to do another 2 taps to get back to it.

Also wish I didn’t have to leave the app.

If I can have this, I will be trying #onlyzaps

One more image metadata test before the demo 👀

I am implementing your stuff to please my users. It's funny that you think this is gaslighting.

Also having the blurhash in the event allows me to start building the blurhash image immediately after I get the note over the wire.

So any relays support NIP-95? Which ones?

Little consumer education goes a long way. Here is a simple explainer why CDN is important. And why having media on relay is not scalable! 🐶🐾🫡

Imagine a grocery store as a website, and the items in the store as the content on the website. People visit the store to get the items they need, just like they visit a website to access its content.

Now, let's say this grocery store (website) is very popular and has customers from all over the city (users from around the world). The problem is that the store is located in only one part of the city (the website's server is in one location), so people from far away have to travel long distances to get their items, which takes time and can be frustrating (slow website loading times for users far from the server).

This is where a CDN, or Content Delivery Network, comes into play. Think of a CDN as a chain of smaller grocery stores (proxy servers) spread out across the city (world). These smaller stores hold a selection of the most popular items from the main store (copies of the website's content). When customers from different parts of the city want to get their items, they can now go to the nearest smaller store (proxy server) instead of traveling to the main store. This way, they get their items faster and more efficiently (faster website loading times for users).

In summary, a CDN is like a network of smaller grocery stores that distribute the most popular items from the main store to various locations, making it faster and more convenient for customers to access those items, just as a CDN helps deliver a website's content more quickly to users around the world.

Has any #damus users had any posts fail to go through lately? I’m pretty sure it was because the damus relay randomly failing to accept all new posts but I’m not sure. Damus should retry posts until it succeeds or until the app is closed.

I’m growing more and more concerned about the reliance on GitHub.

And starting to think a bounty isn’t the right way to fund this work.
