Ok I finally managed to sit down and think about this after I got over the jet lag and getting sick. I translated all the suggestions into GitHub issues to make sure that they aren’t lost.

I think posting long tweets would make perfect sense and would let us remove the njump links completely which you mentioned as a problem in the second point. That being said I agree that right now I don’t think this is possible using the API? I feel like it should be so maybe there is a way but the docs for the new API aren’t great right now I feel.

Regarding the njump links: I like them because it helps find the original content but at the same time I agree that they look awkward and out of place. I can think of multiple approaches:

- skip rendering njump links when notes aren’t cut off because they fit in one tweet

- remove njump links completely even if a note is cut off

- don’t post notes which are too long

- post long notes as threads with multiple tweets

- let people decide what to do on a per-feed basis which unfortunately complicates the website

All of those solutions have downsides and I don’t know what the best one is.

Images can be posted directly to twitter but the problem is that that loses context around where that image was in the note. For example I often post links to content images and write in between them like I did in this note. This just doesn’t translate into the twitter format.

Basically I feel we are dealing with all the typical problems of crossposting from one platform to another :(

If anyone has any suggestions regarding any of those problems please let me know.

A related issue with long links in addition to the awkwardness is that this, for example: https://njump.me/nevent1qqst06sg76dyyv5n8n0drgaaeyll7m8ffll66f27xyudfnac646je6q68dhq6

takes 85/500 chars on Mastodon toot.

24/300 in Bsky (it’s capped on URLs) or none if posted as an embed and not in the body), and

43/300 in X (if I got it right).

That makes cross-posting or composing notes hard to do at once.

Weirdly, you can put more characters on Bsky by deleting the URL from the body text than what X allows (for non-verified) 😁

Yes and no )

I sent a delete request but Colby zapped it so I see it on my notifications.

It’s on this thread if you can dig it out:

But I can try to reproduce it.

"Hikvision won a ~$9m PRC 'Smart Campus' project in mid-2022 that alerts administrators to any ethnic minority students "suspected of fasting" during Ramadan based on "dining records."

The alerts are part of a larger surveillance system against ethnic minority students that tracks what books they borrow, their holiday destinations, family information, and more. This raises human rights concerns for targeting Uyghurs/Muslims, amid a broader PRC crackdown."

💪Sent some custom feed related oddities with Testflight bug reports in case you’re running out of things to fix 😁

What if nostr would have amazing sdks for the major languages so that it’s ridiculously easy to build clients and apps?

This is not glamorous but would help if the building blocks are reliable, up-to-date and with MIT license.

More devs could build value-added services, UX and UI if there’s no need to study all the nips and debug outdated code base. nostr:note1zfdhqyaj0vz7ew8cdpqqld7hqmxnsfatq2y996x0aucfyep840wqvju4ct

“The new generation of America Firsters seems hellbent on crippling the United States’ global power. They might succeed where challengers such as China, Russia, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Iran, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and others have failed.”

Just yesterday I saw discontent with the lack of ”serious” discussion on Bsky meaning the pro networks have not migrated from X in that particular case.

Most of the complaints seem to be about lack of functionality on bsky. For example, no videos, and no lists (yet they are coming).

People are not content with Mastodon. X is becoming unbearable with spam and trolling. A lot of people are just quitting.

Nostr seems to be already in shape to answer these questions. Moderation tools are also at a level where I think we can start to take people in.

If we can target some specific niches, whole communities, that might be the most effective at this point.
