 Here’s a likely useless idea that came to me for a nostr implementation: coloring posts?

Sometimes, I want to stop and read controversial posts that spark vicious debate (because the subject matter merits this), other times I prefer a feed that picks me up, or touches a poetic or philosophical nerve in me. 

So, could the hive mind help me sort posts so I don’t get bombarded indiscriminately by posts that speak to all different moods, needs, etc. and I can more easily decide which vibes (colors) I want my attention to come in touch with at any given moment?

Could a “red rated” post speak to my interest in engaging with or stimulating my interest in controversial discussion on sensitive topics where sparks are bound to fly, while a “blue rated” post could give my agitated self a way to focus on posts that vibe poetry and beauty?

Is that a realistic way to organize one’s feed, and have an easy visual cue for what one gravitates to at any given moment?

There could be so many other colors: yellow light hearted and orange a combination of red and yellow. Maybe there is even a way to make the connection between colors and moods non arbitrary? 

The intensity of colors indicating the degree to which people agree on the mood, the mix indicating ambiguity?

I’m a total layperson in all areas that could help understand whether this makes any sense at all or where it falls short, so let’s just say:

Is there a feasible way I may be able one day to order my feed in a way that adds a visual component so it’s easy to see posts that are in line with what my higher self requires? Healthy feeds through choice and empowerment instead of the incentive of toxicity that we have grown so accustomed to?

Thanks!! 
 Thanks for the heads up on the scammer..

Even with people whom I love reading and following as a general rule there may be specific posts that don’t always match the kind of feed I want to get my consciousness wrapped up with at a given moment. That’s where the idea came from.

 Or shutting off towards the most obvious conclusion: it doesn’t matter particularly who’s at the helm, as long as they are sufficiently puppeteerable (everybody is, Trump to a lesser degree than Biden, RFK to a lesser degree than Trump, but they will (and in Trump’s case have shown to be capable of) find(ing) ways of putting them in their places…)

 That can’t be it. Locals are not the only ones who will be forced to acquire LTP (not going the easy route of assigning blame externally), also tourist behavior will eventually ebb and cause a market self-correction of an oversaturated situation. But then, local politicians are going to politic… LTP also means understanding others’ HTP actionism, allowing it to play out, opting out, learn, prepare, and be compassionate.

 Broader democracy with less significance of borders or geographical limits of legislation means more decision power the closer you get to your own location, which is the way it should be, right? No need for globally unifying policy to be decided democratically when geographical arbitrage comes into play.  Am I on the right track?

 My favorite thing about nostr: its limitless promise to disincentivize manipulation and crap. 
 Same! Even if it’s pseudonymous, sharing difficulties and kinship over struggle is what social media can be in its best manifestation. I don’t know you but you inspire me! 
 We have been strangely but beautifully enriched by adversity. 🙏

 Love it, great to see such events in Spain of all places! Looked at the event site and was just not so sure about the representation of Newtral on the stage but I guess that just goes to show it’s an unbiased venue? 
 https://fountain.fm/episode/NzkHmwbI5docXcRissn7 sehr interessante Folge zu ungeahnten Potenzialen im Bereich „Klimaschutz“. Womöglich fehlt mir da nur ein bisschen Differenzierung und Erörterung, was die Nachteile von Sonne und Wind angeht, abgesehen von der Unzuverlässigkeit: Energieaufwand zur Gewinnung notwendiger Rohstoffe und ökologische Folgen bei begrenzter Nutzungslebenszeit. Gut in jedem Fall, dass all das auf die Tagesordnung kommt! Danke @Niko

 GM nostr, here’s a question:

On our residential street a few weeks ago this indication appeared and I have absolutely no idea what it could mean or refer to. 

Anybody have any idea?

This is a non English speaking country and there are practically never any signs in English. So I’m a bit puzzled.

Are we to be DEWed? https://image.nostr.build/accd860062648dbcae5ab0e014381f4bccf056c539c767ef6b19bdf5d0bb83b2.jpg  
 It’s just so random, did someone do that to confuse the neighborhood? 
 Also, while it’s not the busiest street, there is some traffic and this would have taken time and dedication, which seems a bit too elaborate for random word salading.. 
 Thanks, that makes some degree of sense, only problem is, there is actually plenty of space to leave your car either before or after the signage. You’re not supposed to technically but everybody does.. 
 Weird if true 
 https://www.zonerecovery.global/contact wonder if there’s a relation with this? There is an abandoned construction site not too far, but also definitely not right there..

 I might be one of those troglodytes who will choose some sort of algorithm for nostr as they become available. 

Until then, is there any way to curate lists of accounts for oneself?
