The whole nature of a decentralized social media platform, is that not everything will always work perfectly together.. That is literally a feature!

- Some devs want to implement a nip and it breaks images, this is learning. Now you have options and the nip has been tested, vetted and is open to discussion

- Some videos don’t have audio on some platforms? Learn to post more comparable standards, use a platform that supports better videos, media uploader converts to a standard

- Some image uploads may get broke and have to get fixed again. Use a different image uploader

The other option is to have all images and videos working perfectly, notes you can ‘delete’, on a fully centralized, controlled, moderated platform ran by one person…

Welcome to nostr

I could make signing up for damus purple as easy as sending a zap but I think this is against apple ToS :(

my purpose on #nostr is to #zap baddies

Nostr Emergency & Public Service Alerts?

What do folks think about getting emergency alerts and public service alerts on to nostr. All the public service alerts on twitter started as people just setting up their own bots and running them. Twitter’s been demanding that public agencies pay thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month and most are dropping twitter in response.

There’s no way to do bots on bluesky’s at_protocol, because it’s still got closed membership and has no open protocol yet. But we could easily do it on Nostr!

There’s been a bunch of bluesky hype lately, which is cool because I’d rather them then closed twitter clones like T2, tribel, post.news, cohost, counter social, wt.social, substack notes, etc….

Most of these services run RSS feeds and have other open API’s for publishing, so it’s just a matter of creating bots, accounts, giving them profiles, maybe a page / directory of them…. We can do this quickly.

Let’s do Nostr Emergency & Public Service Alerts!

FB today and IG tomorrow. WhatsApp deletion is a tad more difficult because my international friends don’t utilize Signal.

The thing is with Signal => it’s been conflicted out since at least 2019.

❓: Any solid progress on an encryption texts via nostr Clients?

Thank you for legendary work on Gossip.

I’m kinda surprised so many people have a hard time figuring out nostr …

It doesn’t seem all that difficult 🤷‍♂️

I guess people are really thrown off by the concept of key pairs and relays?

Seems like an easily fixable issue if we use old terminology along side new one?

Npub = username

Nsec = password

Relay = server

Then as they ease into nostr, educate them?

What am I missing?

For education - even a simple tab with some text would be a good start..

Wild to think Tucker doesn’t have a job today sheesh. Life comes at you fast

Nostr & Bluesky are two of the most exciting projects in social 💜💙

The general public has little to no understanding of what it means for the social media experience to exist on open source decentralized protocols.

But Bluesky and Nostr will allow the GP to experience it all firsthand.

This is really exciting stuff. Honestly, nothing beats being early. (Granted I’m a little later than most folks here given that I joined both of these protocols around the same time —roughly 2 1/2 weeks ago 😅)

The experience on each of these protocols is vastly different and they serve different audiences for the most part, currently. But I’m sure they will continue to generalize and diversify over time.

It was cool to see #[0]​ address a lot regarding his stance on how social media should exist and who should own it 🫂

Following the fluctuating state of Twitter during the reign of Elon, many have found plenty of opportunity to condemn Jack. But what is probably more productive is to look to the future to see how lessons can be learned from past mistakes and how things can change. After all, hindsight is 20/20. Most people that have harsh things to say about how Jack handled the transfer of power of Twitter don’t have a clue. It’s not every day that one founds and successfully runs one of the most monumental, culturally relevant companies in history. (I’m wishfully thinking there might be a documentary or docuseries of sorts detailing the rise and transformation of Twitter 👀)

I’m really inspired by and proud of the leaders, builders, team members, developers, investors, and community members that make these ecosystems sustainable and make these experiences worthwhile.

Here’s to continuing to push the limits of what’s possible as the world of social continues to evolve 🤝

What are your thoughts on Bluesky? What are your thoughts on Nostr? And how do you see these protocols revolutionizing the social experience?
