Oddbean new post about login | logout Heavy-handed shilling for ActivityPub here. The writer’s bias is obvious, not to mention it’s clear he has never attempted to use the Nostr.
Agree. Verge is a Fediverse mouthpiece. They have never written anything about Nostr besides a random inclusion in a sentence.

Here’s my favorite example, a podcast clip where the host invites the “CEO of Mastodon” to openly mock Nostr and then laughs along with him. nostr:note1dkf65zplvfxupd0lkc0sd94e0gp9sy5fsj707hj3q2jlugyk3yfq04phlk
I still want to know where this spam is at? I keep hearing people talk about spam, hate, and porn and really I haven't seen shit since last February.
The most spam I get is some air drop reply bot that I don’t even notice. I guess that counts. Hate bullshit I see if I browse “universe” on open relays but that’s more opt in. Same with porn. I might be bias because I’ve had a year (I have to look to see if today is my nostrversary) to curate my follows and relays. 🤷♂️
I’ve seen a fair amount of all of that, especially when I first started using Nostr back in July. Any time opening Universe you can see it’s still there, and outside of Universe I still run into some by surprise, mostly when people I follow respond to it.
Absolutely. Once more people get their IDs rugged they'll see the flaw in its design.
The problem is more to do with the nature of *who* is running the servers. Some random guy that made a server for some random hobby? Yeah that’s awful. A municipality running a server with tax payer money that simply follows the law? That’s definitely more interesting
