I'm grateful to hear your perspective, and not in a condescending way. It sounds like you have a lot more experience than me.

BUT switch bitcoin for nostr in the above note and it looks like something I've read before.

Can we zap some gold, devs? 😂

Joking!! Welcome, Lawrence!

The rest already exists though, and can serve as a funnel to here. We don't need to reinvent it because it's not going anywhere. The question is: can Nostr provide something that wasn't available elsewhere or improve on the other options? I think it does.

I get that you have a hypothetical ideal that nostr doesn't meet, but for now this is a win.

Same with twitter. You don't know what you don't know.

But all it takes is an article with one npub and you can follow all their followers in a second and enter a new universe of conversation.

Twitter = custodial online identity

We're taking self custody.

Agree. But:

Nostr followers > Twitter followers

🤝

The flippening: wen your Nostr followers flip your Twitter followers.

Yea that would be useless.... all you'd see is ads.

Only from my follows though. Why would it be anything else?

How would I even see their stuff unless they're doing some kind of annoying dick reply guy thing on my notes? Those peeler get bored anyway.

I see what you're saying, but if I keep seeing shit from someone I'll just unfollow them. Doesn't matter if they're gaming it... gaming it so they appear on my feed more often is just them paying to remind me to unfollow them.

The above described feeds are so simple, transparent, and I think they'll capture everything I want from social media. Would love to experience it.

Someone games it and we stop following them. Right? Just like any other form of being a cunt or attention seeking/ annoying behaviour.

a feed that prioritizes notes based on likes,

a feed that prioritizes based on the number of Zaps

a feed that prioritizes based on the value of Zaps.

a feed where I can view people I have indicated an extra interest in.

I want to be able to flick between all four feeds, and I don't need any other algo.

Great to play with, but disclosures for each mint and how it's operated will be critical.

Zaps

Fix

Journalism

Terrible UX

Same! Fuck Twitter. They can take them all away whenever they want.

I had 9k.

Just click receive and enter this (this is actually the ecash)...
