Does anyone actually block spam accounts they don’t want to see on Global? Does that make a difference?

I just blocked wiz. I don't see the constant begging for sats in my Global feed anymore, so I would say yes.

New NIP maybe: Curated block lists to auto-reduce spam?

My #1 rule with art collecting is that there is absolutely nothing found in museums that cannot also be found in a living artist somewhere, no matter how impossibly high quality or talented you think it is.

Ah nice so the custom zap amount/writing a message is accessed with long-press now, whereas clicking on zap just goes straight to the preset amount with fewer clicks

I still use mine and I’ve had it for years. But mine is sit/stand so it’s a bit different.

But I try to stand for an hour a day using it.

Neither can I and I just got my first sat 2 weeks ago. Total game changer ⚡️

I have been really wondering the same thing & have been thinking on a combo of things recently:

• The global feed really works and distribution is solved by simply casting as wide a net as useful into the relay space and then aggregating what is found at each one.

• The simplicity. It doesn't have a specific focus, or brand, or audience, it simply gets notes and other stuff from user - to relay - to user. It exists and there was a hungry market for not being put in a box, I think.

• It isn't being sold to anyone (and thus there's no feeling of dependence or being surveilled by default), it feels more like it's something that we are part owners in (and operators of). No one wants to be sold on another fucking social media platform. But I was excited to explore #Nostr and become a part of it.

So maybe together this makes Nostr feel like a genuine chance at a solution that we can be a part of, rather than another website that moves the problem to a different place while having a drastically smaller network? 🤔

I’ve tried all the apps that have attempted an Exodus from Twitter. They all sucked. They all felt like farting into the wind. I’m amazed, but also enthralled as to the reason that nostr is different. I’m heard, you’re heard, and sending posts gets engagement. Can someone who understands the architecture explain what is different here from, say, gab or truth social or parlour?
