GAMERS
Ill make this same post in a couple places, but give me nominations for best new game you played this year.
Didn't have to come out this year, just new to you this year. Not everyone plays the latest slop after all.
I'm December I am going to run a poll for Nostr GOTY

I posted this on the Fedi a while back, but last week I was saddened to find out some random blog on the internet - skyehaven - was gone. There was a single post on this blog about setting up Mumble listening rooms that I've followed every time I reinstall mumble server. I use it to create listening rooms for a live audience in Mumble for when I'm recording my podcast. Luckily the post was on the internet archive so I decided to re-write it in my own words, persisted here --> https://write.as/dielans-blog/how-to-set-up-listening-rooms-on-mumble-for-podcasts
Maybe I'll re-write this as a Nostr article too

So on twitter StutteringCraig (creator of ScrewAttack) announced he was going to make a video game awards show to compete with Dorito Pope's 'The Game Awards'.
What's different is instead doing all the nominations and voting via unelected media insiders hes gonna let the gamers vote and nominate based on a pricing tier. Starting at $60 a year just to vote.
Doesn't that remind you of something? The people yearn for V4V but dont know about what we already have.
Craig has since walked back that initial price down to $30 (USD btw). The promise to deliver something isnt the same thing as actually delivering something so its not quite V4V.
I think we can do better.
Someone should make a NIP for a vote and nomination system.

This happened on Mastodon multiple times as well. Something happens on twitter and theres a huge exodus but they never stay
I believe the biggest reason for that is because the people exodusing there aren't that interesting and without algorithms and pre-elon Twitter's moderation they just dont get any attention or social authority. For example George Takei - he landed on some random mastodon server run by some dude. What a nightmare. Takei is on bluesky now lol

So far ive beaten AC1, Phantasma, and Master of Arena, and now AC2. Going to Another Age next
These games really are in a league of their own. Also the soundtrack slaps

Post approvals for n/VIDEOGAMES
Ok I caved and got kiwibrowser on my android phone so I can install nos2x and actually approve posts here
I still main Amethyst but I promise to check often. Wish I could just turn off this post approval business. If its any consolation when you post into a Nostr group your follows see it in real time with the group linked in the UX so its not like nobody saw it. I just need to approve posts so people browsing the group see it too

And they'll probably re-do it like 5 more times before AP has it
To be fair tho, this version is like a reddit clone. Posting into a group resembles posting into a subreddit
Meanwhile groups on gsoc (which is the standard we have been holding AP to) were more like a way to tag a bunch of people who opt-in to the group and you just slip the group tag into your normal public post. Imagine a twitter hashtag but using it notifies some people

2023-09-30 05:12:47

I have something from the fediverse to add to @npub1sg6…f63m 's post here:
#note1hy7…wcha
This positive attitude about building stuff is really great to see on Nostr and it does not exist on the fediverse at all. Since most ActivityPub implementations are heavy it's unreasonable to expect most users to self host. So people tend to gather into communities based on their chosen instance (think: website they are actually using). The different AP implementations really only work together in spite of each other, and there's endless drama about what your chosen AP software says about you, be you a contributor, administrator, or just a user.
For example, here's some hilarious beef I saw today between Mastodon instances. The instance mastodon.art is notorious for blocking an absurd number of instances, to the point where artists looking to get commissioned work should really not post there. They wrote this blog post about how they are defederating from another growing instance because they implemented text based search (for public posts) and a few other less important complaints:
https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/defederating-from-universeodon
You heard that right. This is about the indexing of publicly available posts. As though it's some kind of terrible harassment tool. Remember that ActivityPub supports followers-only posts and follow approvals. Consider also this instance is for artists, who WANT to be found.
That's just drama between Mastodon instances. When it comes to the other implementations it gets even more insufferable. ActivityPub is a protocol like Nostr, but people building on Nostr actually like each other. Celebrate that.

To be fair tho, I would prefer a few fragmented silos to everything being in twitter/facebook/Instagram
Getting everyone connected on a single protocol is kinda Utopian. My expectations are a lot lower

This is all bait to see if Nostr will (or even can) follow in the dark pattern footsteps of mastodon where its common to share lengthy blocklists that are not vetted and easily abused as well as judge people based on who follows them & who they aren't voluntarily blocking. I saw a few posts already calling for blocklists already lol

So if #[35] creates a relay we might learn his real name and what province he lives in? 😁

How do you even get the post link to do this?

It will be this way for a bit because right now its the bitcoin maxis that are having a big migration here, so it makes sense thats what they wanna talk about
I think Zaps are fine tho. And if someone who hates bitcoin wants to make a nostr client that doesnt have zaps they can lol

The data they collect isnt exactly the same scale as web2 social media sites. Just your public posts and follow list. Not sure you'd get much money for that

You posted this on Anigma right? Basically yes. Similar to the global feed on the other apps

Right now i'm using astral.ninja to follow people by their pubkey, Damus web to get their keys, but actually LOOKING at anigma. lol

Anigma has the best new key generator i've seen so far, that's why I ended up trying it first actually

2022-12-17 05:47:15

so these rooms are only viewable in anigma.io right? Or do people on other Nostr clients following my same pubkey see me talking out of context here?
