editing Nostr posts

To begin, Obsidian employs plain text Markdown formatting for notes, just like all Nostr-based blogging platforms. This makes it an ideal choice for creating, formatting, and editing Nostr posts.

Wikipedia on Nostr would be the most sensational thing. Who'se building it?


The past is made of borders, fragmentation, censorship, corruption.

The present is for building on protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr.

The future is a borderless world, individual sovereignty, frictionlessness, truth.


Oh wow that's a turnaround!


Whatever tools they wage on us, we will wage back on them, just like the guillotine.

I think forced vaccinations might be a better tool.


oh man, yes!


There are so many amazing online communities that could use Bitcoin to power their initiatives and take us to civilization 2.0.

Some of these communities:
- Ancient history
- Health & Nutrition
- Mycology

any others?


you got this!

Frazer:  Folklore in the Old Testament


Folklore in the Old Testament

In his 1918 book, Folklore in the Old Testament, Scottish social anthropologist Sir James George Frazer documented similarities between Old Testament stories, such as the Flood, and indigenous legends around the world. He identified Livingston's account with a tale found in Lozi mythology, wherein the wicked men build a tower of masts to pursue the Creator-God, Nyambe, who has fled to Heaven on a spider-web, but the men perish when the masts collapse. He further relates similar tales of the Ashanti that substitute a pile of porridge pestles for the masts. Frazer moreover cites such legends found among the Kongo people, as well as in Tanzania, where the men stack poles or trees in a failed attempt to reach the Moon.[19] He further cited the Karbi and Kuki people of Assam as having a similar story. The traditions of the Karen people of Myanmar, which Frazer considered to show clear 'Abrahamic' influence, also relate that their ancestors migrated there following the abandonment of a great pagoda in the land of the Karenni 30 generations from Adam, when the languages were confused and the Karen separated from the Karenni. He notes yet another version current in the Admiralty Islands, where mankind's languages are confused following a failed attempt to build houses reaching to heaven.

According to the story, a united human race speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar (שִׁנְעָר). There they agree to build a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Yahweh, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

Substack offers mentoring, legal and editing services.


Substack insists that advances are determined by “business decisions, not editorial ones”. Yet it offers writers mentoring and legal advice, and will soon provide editing services. YouTubers can post what they like, within broad guidelines, but they cannot monetise content around what YouTube deems “controversial” subjects, including abortion. Twitch has imposed rules for its streamers’ behaviour offline. On May 5th Facebook’s “oversight board”, which rules on editorial matters, upheld Donald Trump’s ban from the platform.

The old system is crumbling.


And financing is getting simpler. One startup, HIFI, helps artists manage their royalties, paying them regularly and fronting them small sums to make up shortfalls. Another, Karat, extends credit to creators based on their follower count. Helped by such services independent artists took home 5.1% of global recorded music revenues last year, up from 1.7% in 2015, calculates MIDiA Research, a consultancy. In the same period the share of the three largest record labels fell from 71.1% to 65.5%.

Evil mainstream media. ugh


The more possible it becomes to make a living out of online content, the more precarious becomes the position of the companies that have acted as intermediaries between creators and consumers. Newspapers, which solved a physical distribution problem that no individual writer could hope to overcome, are one example. Substack’s leaderboard includes journalists such as Glenn Greenwald and Matthew Yglesias who have found that readers are willing to pay them far more than the outlets that used to employ them (and that newsletters give them greater editorial freedom, too). Some newspapers, most recently the New York Times, have forbidden writers from launching personal newsletters without permission. A tyrannical few deny their writer-serfs bylines, ensuring that the value from every article accrues to the brand and not the author.

Mr Morgan is a living example of the observation in 2008 by Kevin Kelly, a technology writer, that any artist could make a living with just “1,000 true fans” willing to spend $100 a year or so on whatever the creator makes. With that, he wrote, “You can make a living—if you are content to make a living but not a fortune.” The broadening range of online monetisation methods is making it easier to wring that sort of money out of devotees. Video-gamers can top up the money they make from streaming by working as paid wingmen on gaming platforms such as China’s Heizhu Esports. Some creators see non-fungible tokens, a method of certifying digital creations, as a way to earn more from their superfans. With platforms like Teachable or Podia, which deal in pricey online courses, creators can plausibly get by with more like 100 true fans, Ms Jin reckons.

The Ads model won't make a difference to smaller creators.


The main way to monetise online content has been advertising. Making real money requires a huge audience: even 1m views on YouTube might make the poster only about $2,000. Some types of content attract even lower ad rates. PornHub says its amateur contributors earn an average of $0.60 per 1,000 views; 1m hits would net just $600. Ads can make megastars rich, but cannot provide a living for small-time foot goddesses and other niche creators.

The subscription model has the potential to unlock more value for the creator middle class.


"The trend towards subscriptions, and other models of monetisation, is changing that, bringing with it the possibility of a creator middle class. Consider Craig Morgan. The sports journalist was laid off last year by the Athletic, an online publication, after the pandemic put live sport on hold. A friend suggested he try writing a newsletter. AZ Coyotes Insider was launched on Substack in July. Its detailed updates about a single National Hockey League team—everything from goaltender Darcy Kuemper’s knee injury to the immigration woes of defenceman Ilya Lyubushkin—are not designed for a wide audience. But with a subscription model, they don’t need one."

Yet what of those creators with more modest followings? A few online stars earn megabucks, but the tail is long (see charts). Spotify says it wants to give “a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art”. But only about 0.2% of the 7m-plus musicians on the platform make more than $50,000 a year in royalties; just 3% make more than $1,000. There are 20m gaming “experiences” on Roblox, but nearly 15% of all play takes place on one game, “Brookhaven RP”, according to analysis by Ran Mo of Electronic Arts, a game developer. On Patreon, where people can subscribe to creative services of all sorts, 200,000 creators earn a total of $1bn a year. The top earner makes around $2m, but about 98% make less than the federal minimum wage of $1,257 a month.

Supercreators have leverage over the platforms that aggregate demand.


The dancers of TikTok and pranksters of YouTube, whose popularity rises or falls on the tweak of a recommendation algorithm, may seem easily replaceable. In reality, the opportunities for interaction with online stars may make their audiences more loyal than those of other celebrities, Mr Kemp points out. Jennifer Aniston and her buddies were in people’s sitting rooms for half an hour a week. Charli D’Amelio, TikTok’s top bopper, is in their pockets all day. “After a decade of building their audiences, a class of Super Creators have emerged that have leverage over their aggregators,” wrote Rameez Tase, head of Antenna, an audience-measurement company, in a recent blog post. “They simply built such large, engaged audiences that those audiences would follow them anywhere.”

As platforms fight over the most popular content, bargaining power is being transferred to the people who make it. Simon Kemp of Kepios, an internet research firm, compares platforms’ negotiations with top creators to TV networks’ wrangling with the cast of “Friends” over each season’s contracts. Many offer better terms to their most successful creators: Twitch reportedly pays a higher share of subscription revenues to its top streamers; Substack offers advances to writers it believes will be a hit. The share of revenue that creators can earn seems to depend on how easily they could leave. Moving one’s email list away from Substack is simple, so the firm lets writers keep 90% of their revenues. Game-makers on Roblox, who are basically stuck there, keep about 25%.

YouTube, which has long given regular video-posters a 55% cut of ad revenue, is developing new features including tips in the form of paid “applause”. It says the number of channels joining its paid “partner programme” in 2020 was more than double that in 2019. In all it has paid contributors $30bn in ad-revenue shares and subscription fees in the past three years, far more than any other social platform. Last year TikTok, a short-video app, launched a “creator fund” which it says will dispense more than $2bn to users in its first three years. Douyin, its Chinese twin, is investing $1.5bn with the aim of doubling its creators’ revenues. Snapchat, another social-video app, last year launched Spotlight, a sharing feature through which it is paying $1m a day to the creators of its most popular clips.

You either help online creators monetize or become a promotional hub for creators to send you to where they can monetize. Twitter is losing the game big time.


In response, platforms that once paid little or nothing to creators are ponying up. Companies “need to either offer some way to monetise that content on-platform, or…they'll become just a promotional hub, where people essentially advertise the content that they're monetising on other platforms,” says Josh Constine of SignalFire, another venture-capital firm.

One consequence of the internet is that “value has shifted away from companies that control the distribution of scarce resources to those that control demand for abundant ones,” writes Ben Thompson, author of the tech newsletter, Stratechery, who calls such firms “aggregators”. Because the platform sets the conditions for a piece of content’s success, via its algorithm, suppliers have to adapt to its rules, thus commoditising themselves. In this world of abundant supply, content providers become as interchangeable, and have as little bargaining power, as Uber drivers.

## Nostree release note
#### v.0.1.2 "Slug me baby"
https://nostree.me

The new version of nostree (v0.1.2) is loaded with new features, I will try to summarise  them all in a nice release note.
The
 main changes are list slugs, unique identifiers, docs, more
shareability, the change of kind for lists, and many ux improvements.
This opens up a lot of new possibilities for your lists.
I'm
going to be unpacking this little by little, but before starting I would
 like to share the brand new project page on geyser.fund, where you can
help the project to grow, and get candies👀, nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aecprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq4jjp6r     its
awesome
https://geyser.fund/project/nostree

### Let's start
-Slugs:
 I find this new feature for nostree very exciting, with it you can use
slugs to identify your lists, this results in very friendly urls, like
for example https://nostree.me/gzuuus@nostree.me/projects , or
https://nostree.me/gzuuus@nostree.me/nostr
Another feature of using
slugs is that you can group several lists together using the same slug
in both lists. For example if you check this link (
nostree.me/gzuuus@nostree.me/nostr ) you will see that there are two
lists, 'Learn nostr', and 'Favorite nostr clients', this is because
these two lists share the same slug, 'nostr'. From my point of view this
 brings some very interesting use cases. nostr:nprofile1qqs87hptfey2p607ef36g6cnekuzfz05qgpe34s2ypc2j6x24qvdwhgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjv96xjtnrdaksupau3d     looking at you
💡You can change the slug of your lists at any time.

-Unique
 ids/naddr links: These are unique urls for your lists, they use nostr
standards (nip19) to work, and compared to slugs they will always point
to a unique list. The use case is simple, you want to share a specific
list, without worrying about matching slugs, or changing the slug for
that list in the future. The urls for these lists are not so friendly,
but in return it will be the unique identifier for your list. For
example:
https://nostree.me/a/naddr1qqkxummnw3ex2efdve3kzetr8qurvttzvcuxvtf5vd3n2tfc8q6rytf4x9jkvetx89skgvfcx5pzqs9eep0ll6hurjkl3sc2fewgses07mjfwxsdcu3at2m8fd0xrdz3qvzqqqr4xy4negad

-More
 shareability: Now automatically if your nostr address/nip05 is valid it
 will be used in the url, instead of your npub. Also when sharing links
of your page.

-Docs: new docs page to help with questions about
using nostree ( https://nostree.me/docs ) At the moment the docs page
has some sections that I think are the most common questions that may
arise when using nostree. Of course I will be expanding this section, I
welcome any feedback to add more docs.
I've built this docs section
to be modular and to show hints in different parts of the interface, so
if in any section you find an info icon ℹ you can click on it to get
help on that specific topic.

-New kind for lists, from now on all
 lists will be created with kind30001, so we get more interoperability
with all the protocol.

-Interface improvements: In this version,
several interface improvements have been included to make nostree easier
 and more intuitive to use. Among the most notable are the sharing
drawer, which you can find in each list and use to share your list, both
 from the slug and the naddr link.
Also the addition of buttons with
info icons to receive hints and tips that can be found in various places
 in the interface and will give you useful information.
Another is the addition of an ostrich icon for links prefixed with 'nostr:' to open directly in native clients.
💡Whenever you find the ostrich icon it means that you can open the link in a native client.

Also note that if you have lists in the old format you can always migrate them to the new format from the 'manage list' page.

Finally thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqs2js6wu9j76qdjs6lvlsnhrmchqhf4xlg9rvu89zyf3nqq6hygt0spr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezu7n9vfjkget99e3kcmm4vsq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsjkyv6k  for the design proposals, and feedback, and to all of you who have been contributing with zaps, feedback, ideas and so on.

I
 think that's all, I hope you enjoy this new release of nostree, if you
liked it please consider skipping this note or go to the geyser.fund
project page, https://geyser.fund/project/nostree
Other ways to help
the project grow is to contribute ideas, feedback, prs to the
repository. Please feel free to share your ideas
