the nostr algorithm that I'm developing could have a system built in to automatically pay the relays that deliver you the best content! finally relays will have a way to stand out from the crowd without requiring them to curate your feed for you.
with my nostr algorithm, the people you mute publicly will bring negative weight into the evaluation system
porn is trending too, but luckily we have a way to fix that
this note is trending on my own nostr algorithm that I'm developing

I don't know why it's taken so long, but I expect now a Cambrian explosion of nostr algorithms is about the unfold
the problem might have been because when investment money got into nostr, they promoted their own stupid trending algorithms that show the same 10 people
IT'S TIME TO FLIP THE TABLES!!! LET'S GO 🫡
getting developers to agree is like herding cats
nostr needs a dislike button
that's where I think there is opportunity for algorithms. most people will only follow a few hundred accounts, but a good algorithm could pull in posts from thousands of accounts and turn down the volume on bigger producers
what kind of other stuff are you looking forward to the most?
Small, decentralized flows of information are most relevant for small, local communities.
Large, bulk information flow (like the stuff shared on nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq for example) can be done efficiently through large, central channels.
Good to have the flexibility for both … network effects are critical for smaller information flows.
agree, large distribution networks like YouTube still work for that
