I’m seeing it on the nostr side.
On nos.social your nostr use name is a valid fediverse name and you can lookup any username from the fediverse and follow them.
That is the origin of the name. From running protest.net and when we started the company that eventually became Twitter there were two Evan’s so I used the Unix user name I had from protest.net and it stuck. It is a bit weird but I enjoy having a mononym.
Ok. Now you’ve outed yourself as a member of the big queer family. Straight people don’t now about the Scissor Sisters. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
The US Constitution is a very statist and authoritarian document, especially as originally written. Only property owning white Christian men were allowed to participate in the political process and even then without direct elections. Look up Shey’s rebellion, the anarchist leaning failed revolution after the British were defeated in the war of independence in 1776. The Constitution ten years later in 1787, was an attempt at restoring a central government, essentially ending the original American political project of anti authoritarian direct democracy in New England.
Someone made a bot to display all deleted content on Bluesky. I think this would be hard to do with Nostr because you’d need a couple of the original first before the relays got the delete and I suspect relays don’t keep around the delete events either.

Anybody else see how Twitter has added reddit / nostr style groups? I’m not sure how to create them, i think this one was a list that somehow got converted. I don’t mind being in it, but i don’t remember joining. I got added to a list and now it’s a group with moderators and rules for the group.

I’m curious why it didn’t take off or change the dynamics of Twitter. At least as far as I could tell. I apparently have been in a community for a while and didn’t know it.
And here’s the spreadsheet of emojis sorted by how often they get used…

The most used is 😂 beating out ❤️.
The least often used is 🦳! Which I had to look up what it is supposed to me, it’s “white hair style”. Followed by ‘bald hair style’ 🦲. Followed by small island country flags…
Do those hairstyle emojis make any sense to anybody, apparently not!
But also I see lots of folks talking here about amethyst and know that it’s got lots of mindshare on Nostr with lots of people using it. I do need to see what you’ve been up to lately because it’s been a bit.
@Dan yes but not in a way that’s easy to use and makes sense to the users. And we don’t have easy ways to discover them either. Our DVM feeds are slow and only work in a couple of apps. We don’t have good follower suggestions that go beyond showing the most popular people on Nostr.
It’s not about making sure the feature exists, but making sure it’s usable.
There is a relay that is public and filters out all bitcoin and bicoiner content… But I can’t find it off the top of my head. I had an issue finding countries.fiatjaf.com as a country filter relay. I think we need better relay directory / discover / sharing / understanding than we have now. So much of the relay lists are just about uptime and location…. Maybe if it’s paid or not.
I don’t see how the decision to show closed stores when you select open now could possibly be a mistake. They’re too methodical and competent to brake a simple “open now” filter. The question is what drove google to decide to so blatantly disregard user requests.

We’ve got the better architecture for an open permissionless network than the alternatives. We need to make sure our users know how to join, find their people, and make using Nostr a habit. Otherwise people will be sucked back in to more centralized protocols. nostr:note1yptu6sgnpmqydwd2g94rl0x94fnn7m0hjyk3pmc4a3jccztpaexqhkwtcd
I like ditto but there’s some things that need to change with it. It’s lacking documentation needed for third party folks to run a ditto server. It’s a work in progress, but something which is needed. I think ditto servers need better user management. At the moment the only way to be “ON” a ditto server is to use that server for your nip-05. This feels like it’s overloading.
I do like that it’s providing UI for relays, communities, and moderation reports.
The other issue is that ditto right now is doesn’t help users creating nostr accounts, so users need to create an nsec/npub somewhere else, then come back to Ditto and register their nip-05 in order to join. It’s way too complicated for non-nostr users. I get why @Alex Gleason 🐍 doesn’t want to run an nsec bunker, but I think it needs a user authentication and authorization server which makes it easy for users who expect an email/password login easy with Nostr. Kind of like how crypto needed custodial exchanges in order to scale.
The issue I faced yesterday was the readme didn’t outline how to evoke deno tasks and what’s involved with doing tasks for updating and managing a ditto instance.
Looking at the docs they’ve improved but the readme is still terrible.
Yeah, because that’s the docs that get installed when you install the app… Personally I feel like the readme should give me an outline for what to do when I’m on the commandline on on the server.
Also the docs assume a lot of knowledge. Like, how does the user management work in Ditto? How do I add users… how do I do things like moderate content. I THINK I add users by overwriting their nip-05 so it uses the ditto domain… is that the only way? What happens if I choose the dittio nip-05 and then switch to something else?
This republican candidate for governor of North Carolina has some pretty crazy ideas. He hates trans women but loves watching trans porn. He’s a self described “black nazi” who wants to reinstate slavery.
How did someone like this get elected as lieutenant governor and nominated by the republicans for governor?

Did you try testing this with users to see if anyone understand that the “sign in with Schnorr” means? I’d never guess that it meant something related to Nostr.
Hey now… @Alex Gleason that’s a pretty intense take. We’re building a system which is going to face much more direct and underhanded attacks. Having friendly red teaming of Nostr right now, is good. Sure, it was frustrating, and it could have been better if it was in the open, but future adversaries aren’t going to do that.
The push to control teen access to social media is really a push to require KYC on all apps and websites.
@Taylor Lorenz has a great interview about why this is all so problematic.

My understanding is they’re switching to other EVs. Tesla’s losing its early adopters who helped make the brand cool.
The targeting of dev’s makes me think it’s somebody in the Nostr developer community who’s pushing us to fix spam, trust, safety, and moderation issues. :-D
Except that we don’t believe in kings, presidents, and voting, we believe in rough consensus and running code…
Jack doesn’t own or run Nostr. We, the community of users and developers make, run, and are Nostr.
Queer suicide rates are down since 2004… that’s the link I shared with you of the wikipedia page documenting the drop. If you don’t want to look at data, then there isn’t much point of arguing over stats.
