Oddbean new post about login | logout Pronouns? Nostr? Why?
It's part of the protocol now. For reasons.
Competition with Bluesky?

Whoa… so they are trying to get the Bluesky people
It was a joke and then it wasn't.
Ohhh 😲
Now it's opened the discussion about every potential metadata you can add to a profile, and whether each and every one should be in the spec.
Do these fields show up automatically in the profile? Even if they’re empty I mean? That would bloat the thing no?
No idea, probably up to clients. I really know nothing lol
No, clients would have to add them. Like with any other field too.
So the point of it is to function as a sort of thing more liberal clients could point to and say 'hey we know what liberals like, we're not a nazi bar, ignore what bluesky says'?
Actually yes.
Nazi bar 🤣🤣💀 lol on bluesky they would probably ban us for saying that
Yet we cater to them. The irony 🤣
They often call nostr a nazi bar, it's a staple phrase of theirs
That's interesting because most people here don't seem to particularly like socialists, both international and national.
This feels like an episode of Black Mirror somehow https://media1.tenor.com/m/oBlGs8vTv9cAAAAd/tasty-pulp-fiction.gif
No it depends on the client to implement the field. My opinion is in line with nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309an8yetwwvh82arcduhx7mn99uuwx66a that the spec should be sparse and allow developers to add the fields they need.
Yes!!
