what have i done, my notification page is a mess now

i would just like your reply, but according to the theme of this convo probably should say it by another reply

stay cool, wish you luck 💞

mostly agreed with your statement, but not about the “equal opportunity” bit.

some people have knowledge/experience and as a result more opportunities to reach bigger audiences – and the interesting and sad for some thing there is that there’s no *humane* way to make those opportunities equal

interesting!

because i think nostr as a platform can’t be called large (at least for now) - and this hierarchy (influencers and other plebs around them) is the result of exactly that. upscaling might solve it (more people -> more those clusters).

or do you want to discard this planetary-system-like scheme completely? if so, do you have any ideas, and also – isn’t that scheme actually a natural thing?

so, we both agreed that having a free alternative for those who would like to but can’t afford to support is a good thing – that’s nice 💞

… by not interacting – even they want to – because they have no sats?

not quite. i still think people should be allowed to make decisions (to support or not to support) on their own – or maybe i still childishly believe in things like radiohead’s “in rainbows” experiment.

at least i can tell for myself, i’m fine with some likes/reposts/replies to my posts and zero sats coming from it

so i’m not the only one who sees it kinda aporophobic 💀

*can’t do

true, i also do that!

for me like is like “yeah, i agreed with you” or “yeah, i have nothing to add” - bc leaving conversation without a reply *and* a like seems like ghosting or avoiding conversation

or maybe i need to touch some grass - can do that now tho, it’s winter here

nah, your opinion is also valid, since we haven’t such a precedent yet! that’s still up to debate if – or then – western communities will also arise

but i still have big hopes – because actually in nature the famous boiling flog situation doesn’t happen

oh, i see!

i do think that we need “normies” here tho 😤

as a person living in a dictatorship, i can tell how even the most uninterested generic public get tired of government-controlled socials, tries to avoid using them and seeking for alternatives.

with time more and more people realise that – it happens when person’s point of view suddenly becomes not-welcomed in those curated socials. and the stricter government acts, the quicker the transition to uncontrolled socials wilhappen.

now, to all the things people will miss and want from not-controlled socials: those are headaches for creators of nostr clients and apps – they should care of how to make it more intuitive, easy to use, quick and secure and etc.

i have mentioned how people would stay on their theme-related relays – this is how i see censorship issue resolved – because it’ll be the relay problem to manage the notes and decide which one should and which one shouldn’t be posted.

but i liked your statement of “mainstream media avoid platforms with no moderation” - not because i think nostr needs to be promoted, but because it can made it – well – a reputation 🥴

most of those statements were pretty obvious (such as recommendations and paywalling), still, this long read made me think a lot

thanks for sharing!

huh, interesting 🤔

to see your opinion fully - can you define the reasons for it to become more a niche platform?

bc all i can see in nostr socials now are numerous possibilities for future expansion and growth (like how decentralisation and inability to ban will bring people here from government-regulated socials, and how relays probably are going to be more sphere/topic oriented and that’ll create more bubble-ish spaces - exactly how audiences love it)

oh, that’s actually pretty sad 🤕

here in russia iranian rugs are very famous and nostalgic symbols of soviet times. still can be found on the floors and walls of grandma’s houses. and rugs don’t only serve utilitarian purposes (as keeping room warm), but also aesthetic ones bc they are really pretty and make the room feel so cozy!

still remember being a child and falling asleep in my grandma’s house examining those patterns, touching its scratchy woollen surface following those unknown yet so calming symbols

well, it’s not the first time people are searching for the truth, huh?

in journalism there’s such thing as three-source rule. it could be a starting point for chatbots as well.

chatGPT doesn’t have it yet, but youChat (you.com) provides links to sites it uses for answering questions

i think it’s the opposite!

talking about my experience with it, i asked not only topics i would be curious about but also topics i know pretty well, and… it sucks at nuances and professional info, more like an amateur friend who can get you interested in something but couldn’t provide deep knowledge. or understanding. when a person realises they really want to explore the topic even further, they would seek more academic knowledge

and that’s exactly what those lang models as tools are created for

btw, i met my first love there and we’ve been together for five years

read how y’all deactivating your tw*ter accounts and - oof - idk man, i can’t cut off my relationship with her - been there for more than a half of my life 🫠

nah, it’s fine - just a business call - but not very nice of him to do that in the last minutes

i have some guts, so i mentioned that he should pay me more if he wants me to work overtime
