Really enjoying the nip-05 timeline view put together by @Alex Gleason 🐍🚬 and team in Ditto.pub. 

It's a fresh timeline, and great to see a self-assembling/self-curating list of folk. Does not seem too difficult to implement from dev side either (i.e. only populate timeline with certain nip-05 domain).

 I can see this being a centralizing force if npubs clump together for a more popular or higher-status icon. It’s like a roster of checks and badges 🔰 
 Maybe.

I’d argue choice is good for the customer 
 I think a bigger threat we face atm is being so decentralized nobody is even friends. 
 I agree. Also I want to post this

 Yup. That’s a tough one. Also, with AI buddies, many will tire of imperfect humans quicker. 
 birds of a NIP-05 flock together? 
 I like it. Flock view
