 Feeling cute, might make an announcement tomorrow. 
 No, it's not as cool.  
 It's nerd things. Obviously. 
 Was testing Amethyst's new around me feed.

There's noone around me. 
 I know 😅 this will make it hard to onboard people with these feeds I guess 👀 
 Phone should ask you for one time or permanent location. It will then check for notes that have actively been geotagged, which is not a lot rn. 
 Interoperability good
Lack of Interoperability bad

 Not wrong. And still the model has advantages.  It may need to work on "auto" for most people and only be touched by people who actually know what they are doing.  🤔

But working on auto means someone has to pick default relays, or select default working relays from a list, maintain active ones etc.

Not trivial.

 And also kind of centralizing, which everyone wants to avoid. 
 DMs are messed up on Nostr anyways by now, given clients use different standards.  
 I liked when clients cooperated and pushed features to make each other better. Now devs attack each others features with scripts. Can't make this up.  
 I'm not disagreeing. Tho, it was consensus that NIP04 is not ideal and should be replaced. And now look how many clients support the new format and how many only speak NIP04 still. 
It's hard to move or fix things on a decentralized protocol.  
 When I talk to younger folks they say they don't trust the government to be able to provide a pen... 
 Imo it has to do with irrational high real estate prices (potentially depending where you life). 

Back then you built or bought a house for your family with basically a 2 years salary (paid off in idk 10 years). Today most people likely never will be able to afford one with their salary. So the big thing to buy is off the table for most people. Fiat money will continue to lose value, so fck it, why save it? I would see it the same way, wasn't it for Bitcoin. It finally gives a reason to save for the future.  
 I liked nostr better when you would just throw 5 relays into your app and everything worked. inbo...

 Basically haben sie doch auch nur gesagt man soll es in Ruhe lassen oder nicht? Also nicht regulieren aber auch nicht subventionieren. Oder hab ich noch was verpasst? 
 Ja das ist per se gut, aber ich denke nicht dass wir viel "sehen werden", weil in Ruhe lassen hat in Ruhe lassen an sich 😅 
 Da stimme ich zu. Mein Punkt ist eigentlich nur dass sies zwar ins Wahlprogramm aufgenommen haben aber letztendlich auch nichts damit machen, weder positiv noch negativ. Aber vermutlich wird das "die AfD hat Bitcoin im Wahlprogramm" dazu führen dass sich die andern noch mehr dagegen stellen. 🥲 
 Die wollens ja auch nicht in Ruhe lassen. 🥲

 One of the most interesting learnings from this Edits conversation is knowing how much some devs ... 
 Why? Are you imposing kind 20 feeds on other clients with Olas? I wouldn't think you do. 

What's wrong with a feature people want? If other clients don't support it, they don't support it. I can give you a long list of things clients don't support, and that I would consider essential. Edits is the least important of these things. 
 Deletions overwrite kind 1 too. Nobody cared for months. Some clients still don't.  
 You will probably still find it on njump, except they changed something recently. 
 Something like this again would be cool.

 EU as a trade alliance good.
EU as glueing caps on the bottle bad.
EU as hosting a central bank, very bad. 
 EU Pro tip: There's "reusable" plastic straws by now. You can buy 100 for 1 euro, just as the "non reusable" ones costed before. This saves you from cancerous and disgusting paper straws. 🌝 
 Thanks for regulation 🌝

 #Nostr Pro tip:

Don't use emojis as reactions. Your friends on Primal won't see them.

https://media.tenor.com/S1xOjTOnwLgAAAAM/masters-of-the-universe-skeletor-mot-u.gif 
 Just count them as likes. 
 Yes but still as a new person it makes a difference to be seen or not to be seen. 
 While I do agree with that, people are used to likes, coming from other platforms. When I get 25 reactions but see only 1, I easily get the impression this place is not worth my time as nobody interacts with me, notices my content etc, and go back to Bluesky/Xitter/Zuckerberg.  
 Really? I don't know. When I do a shitpost and it gets 20 likes I at least know it was recognized. Doesn't have to do anything with monetization. 
 Yes. Damus also supports this. 
 Damus has 🤙. It's an emoji reaction. 
Primal does count 🤙 next to the +.

You actively don't count reactions, you filter reactions. Why blame other clients? Even if you don't care about the emoji and don't want to add it, still a kind 7 event exists and you guys filter it out instead of just counting it. And please understand I'm not trying to blame and critic here, I just want to make you aware that your users might be happier to actually see reactions they get on their notes. Even if you count all kind 7 reactions just as a heart(+), people know someone interacted with them. Am I wrong about this? 
 Can someone explain how Nostr Feed Marketplaces are built?

Are they running their own relays to ... 
 I run some, Pablo runs one, Primal runs some. They should be the same on all clients but Primal doesn't follow the workflow but uses their own Cache, so they are not letting users contact the DVMs but do it for them.  They are not really like relays. More like really processing providers

 
 There's pokey for push notifications! Check it out.

Some DVMs just fetch from relays. I store the last 2 days of notes in a local database and search there.
