Intentionally or unintentionally, for better or worse, trending feeds and suggested follows will result in user manipulation. We’ve seen plenty examples of the “worse” on other platforms. If they’re to be useful on #nostr then I urge those building them to build them “better” now, while things are new, before the “worse” has a chance to seep in. Surely this is not a controversial take among a community of users that just came over from rampant censorship and feed manipulation on Twitter/X.

4 billion sats is a lot of cheese 😏

Moving seed sounds grossly insecure.

Don't confuse Protocols with Clients.

Bitcoin is a protocol, Wallets are clients.

Nostr is a protocol, Primal/Damus are clients.

clients don't need to be open, or honest, or benign.

Because open protocols allow for users to move with their data/id to other clients.

Don't like a wallet, move your seed.

Don't like a client, move your nsec.

Bitching at clients is a waste of time.

Build the competing clients is a lot more productive.

This to me is one, if not the most important, aspect of open source software. If we can’t rely on others with more skill to criticize and point out things that we may not notice , or have the skills to understand, wtf is the point of open source.

The beauty of nostr, is that once something is pointed out, if you don’t like it, you switch clients. Clean break, no take backs, no sloppy retreads.

I don't demand anything of the builders we support but I encourage them all to build in the open

Watching Semsiol destroying #Primal's joke of a site is very entertaining.
