Oddbean new post about login | logout I think advertising would be a HORRIBLE use of money. That said, personally I have zero interest in seeing Joe Rogan or Alex Jones’ audience when I use Nostr. I’m not saying they can’t use nostr, it’s just not who I want to see. I strongly suspect we have little in common socially or politically. I liked talking to @hodlbod because he’s looking at creating community space for christian nostr. I’m a militant atheist and want a nostr to be a place where we can have both church groups and @s3x_SOCIAL style hard core gay porn. Both communities should be able to use it, see the kind of content and community they want. To do that we need to let people setup some boundaries and space.
get rid of global and just show kinds from people you follow or interact with
Yep, that’s what we do in @nos.social. Also, I’m getting pretty sick of the ‘shitcoin’ airdrop spam.
it gets ugly out there https://image.nostr.build/315221a7c2ed04adb6187c4b2d13ccb1710b49965f8d4ded237b4337de6fe6d3.jpg
Why do you mute people on Nostr? It’s just inoffensive crap everywhere lol
it’s faster to scroll through the spam this way, I would prefer to not ever see it, consolidating all the muted replies in one reply list would be helpful
Yeah, there’s tons of stuff I don’t want to see. I don’t want part of my digital experience. I mute folks all the time. In fact, we’ve got a ticket that lets me choose to use other lists as mutes as well, so I don’t have to do all the muting myself. Nobody’s forcing you to mute anything, want to wade through offensive shit, go for it. Don’t like what I say, mute me.
Spam
Exactly, without mutes and the ability for relays to block/remove data based on spam algorithms, we’ll just see the experience ruined by spam.
I’ve brought up the censorship conversation a few times on Nostr. I think the general consensus is “build them but never have one ring to rule them all.” Each client should have a library of mute/ban setups that the user can choose from.
yes ! censorship should be non-destructive ! it should be based on users choosing to filter their feed not on information getting holocausted from the network. and it shouldn't even be up to the client. there should be blacklists any user can choose to install on any client to filter results. you should be able to run as few or as many of these blacklists as you want.
no spam on amethyst, get a better app if relays unreasonably censor then the diversity of views will be surpressed as is now on big tech do you hate diversity?
I hate the way diversity is shoved down everyone’s throat.
I use amethyst but I make my own nostr app nos.social so fixing it for myself is kind of my job.
spam blocking doesnt work well in amethyst until you have enough follows for reports to work, it fucks up your feed but global then works better, its why we need multiple lists and algos and a market for them you can copy whole follow lists with iris.to
i am going to state the obvious here but given you use it you should probably work on amethyst @Vitor Pamplona
I use it because I want to know what @Vitor Pamplona is up to and what the android nostr experience is like. I don’t use android as my primary mobile OS because it’s a ux, security and surveillance mess. 💣
Is that true of calyx/graphene as well?
Na. There are android builds which aren’t terrible. But I stopped using Linux on the desktop because I’m lazy and don’t want to spend all my time building and configuring my environment. 😁
I mute on sight, only had to do so to about a dozen and now I never see it
I have a feeling the airdrop spam is one of these 'break nostr in a kindhearted way to show it's flaws'. Imagine how much worse replies could be.. The only answer is paid relays.
And 'Token distribution'
we have more in common sociopolitically than you realize. no i am not gay and i don't have purple hair but actually i am on Nostr because i'm sick and tired of all the Christians on GAB. and i have links to Tranny porn on my own website. i don't see the value of attracting Christians to NOSTR because GAB is already a paradise for Christians. GAB CEO and Kanye West is as close as Christians will ever get to the 2nd coming of Jesus. also when i signed up with Coracle i was asked to agree to not post any porn, which i find disappointing. i love porn and while it is debatable whether porn is speech to me it is NOT debatable that porn ban ( a ban on something voluntary that doesn't hurt anybody ) is antithetical to freedom.
Gab is awful lol I banned uploading porn on coracle because I was personally hosting and moderating the content. I've now switched to nostr.build, so as reluctant as I am to have people use coracle for porn, you now only have to abide by their terms, not mine.
thank you for clarifying. i really think you need to make this clearer during the sign up process though. when i was hit with the "no porn" i had no idea whose rule that is or why such a rule was adopted. a logical assumption would have been that maybe it is to avoid legal responsibility for any potential child porn or something like that - it never even crossed my mind that i am again dealing with Christians right after having escaped GAB. and more importantly had i known this rule was specific to Coracle i would have chosen a different client. and if you would rather have perverts like me use something else you can suggest a different client. i use big screen TVs hooked up to tower workstations running windows - so anything good that would work for this setup i would be willing to try.
If you have problems with the creator of Heaven and Earth and his people, maybe the problem is you.
never speak to me again you subhuman piece of shit
