Oddbean new post about login | logout Honest question: why not just use mastadon then?
Because nostr is better. Mastodon's (and likely all centralized social media's) capability is a subset of nostr's capabilities, you can have any level of openeness you care for.
Makes sense. I would like to see more experimentation with topical/regional/community relays.
Multiple communties per relay is a mess especially private groups/communities. This is the simplest and most bang for your buck and doesn't need to be perfect. You can have hashtag feeds, why not feeds where you toggle what rooms you care to be in?
this probably explains it most nostr:nevent1qqs8m643lu9gtlacsal7ufuk8mgea4v95wj626v7625fekgw0yp3hyspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsdcnxssmxheed3sv4d7n7azggj3xyq6tr799dukrngfsq6emnhcpsrqsqqqqqpl2djqg

what I'm more saying is we need closed communities. yes decentralization, yes gossip/outbox etc. A melting pot is nice but we need closed communities to help encourage a focused & thematic discussion. Nostr groups are a mess and i argue the simplest implementation is select the relay(s) for a specific community you want to be in. Will UX be difficult? Maybe, but just like a feed where only posts with a single hashtag comes through, you can do the same for relays. Always optional. Like a faucet, you & the relays choose what level of openness you want. nostr:nevent1qqsqxhad2z4fqca22ljxvu24m2fdn250t475wd6ewlxfhwcshs65fpspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsdcnxssmxheed3sv4d7n7azggj3xyq6tr799dukrngfsq6emnhcpsrqsqqqqqps48hmm
