Pretty amazing to see the global feed go from primarily English to an abundance of different languages.
Now that’s Global.
If you complain about seeing Chinese on your feed and uninstall your mobile Nostr client, you’re NGMI warns Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9)
I saw some people on Twitter complaining about seeing Chinese writing on nostr, and saying they uninstalled because of it, and my reaction simply COULD NOT BE more different. Is there anyone in the *world* who faces more aggro network-filtering than the Chinese? If nostr works for Chinese folks, it'll work for everybody. I hope I see more Chinese on here, not less.—--------------------------

fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) starts a conversation with hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn) on allowing relays to collect “reaction events” on posts to build clusters of interesting content. Tell us what you think about this!
#[0] I have finally read your Blazepoint whitepaper. Do you still stand by its ideas and are going to bring them to fruition within Nostr?—--------------------------
If I got it right, the core thing you need there that isn't present in Nostr by default is that you'll have these relays that gather "votes" (reaction events?) from their users and use that to build clusters of interesting content, prioritizing these somehow. The details are not specified.

Good morning nostriches!—--------------------------
I’ve been waking up to John Williams’ song Rey’s Theme which wakes me up gently with a nice vibe and enough of an epic feeling to lift me up and get me going.
What songs do y’all like to wake up to?
