It makes it federated (at best), which is a problem solved in the 90s for IM
I run my own XMPP server. And it's been basically ideal for IM since the 90s.
If SimpleX isn't actually decentralized, what is it trying to solve exactly? ๐คจ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Do they have a lightning developer on payroll?
When the keyboard opens, it hides the top with the post button and wastes the screen space on the bottom
That's an algo. Just not a very good one

Isn't a geohash just a not-so-standard way of writing latitude/longitude?
Would be neat if there was a way to cryptographically prove you were somewhere...๐ค
Is it just me, or do top level notes get a lot more engagement than replies?
As far as functionality goes, it'd be nice to be able to say "I want to prioritize seeing notes interacting with these users"
But my initial thought here was really probably just the list thing perhaps only my client seems to be missing
XMPP is already pretty ideal for the federation/personal server paradigm
Amethyst can't do it itself?
Maybe. Is this just something Amathyst is missing (or is hidden where I didn't see it)?
Nostr needs an equivalent of Twitter follows...
Some way to "like" users, maybe even label them or make groups

Servers? So it's not decentralized?
Even I don't typically use a *printing* that old... That wouldn't really even be English๐
Again, I would give the same 1 WU/B discount to non-segwit ("legacy"๐ฎโ๐จ) signatures.
Blocking spam is a different issue, to be resolved in a different way (maybe).
There's no such thing as virtual data...
Blocks would be about 300k
