Trending algorithms will always be gamed and also lead to centralization, always the same accounts are advertised on trending, big accounts become bigger this way until they have an oligopoly.

2023-08-31 14:37:57

- reply

good question, both have pros & cons, #nostr is facing similar issues regarding content moderation and we have to see how the debate will play out on nostr. The bigger the network gets, the bigger the pressure on relays and front-ends to censor content, deal with spam, account farming, illegal content etc. Especially front-ends could become the weak spot.

This is how content moderation works on #hive, the first blockchain-based, decentralized social media:
Content moderation on Hive is done on different levels.
Individually via following and muting accounts. Most decentralized approach. Be your own algorithm. Similar to Nostr.
Then there are also subbreddit-like "communities" with moderators and admins. semi-decentralized. Similar to Reddit.
Rewards are distributed with up and downvotes, only after 7 days upvotes become irreversible.
One big account, hive watchers, enforces some anti reward abuse policy, but the content is still stored immutably on a blockchain.
In extreme cases, illegal content is filtered at the front-end level. Several front-ends.
Downvotes are quite controversial but help minimize spam, plagiarized content, account farming etc.

Is Worldcoin a scam? What actual use-case is Worldcoin solving online?
What does it solve that cannot be accomplished by 2FA or Bitcoin keys with funds?
Distinguishing bots from humans online is hard, how can you be sure that an Iris-scanned Worldcoin ID is not used by a bot online? The human gets the World ID, but then the ID is used by a bot online.
So the only thing remaining is the uniquiness part. But humans could theoretically resell their IDs on the black market. Bot farms could be build by buying IDs from other users. Local Orbs could be hacked to produce more World IDs than humans. But it would add additional cost, that's true.
What do you think? Is it a scam or legitimate use case?

Why room-temperature (ambient pressure) #superconductors, if they exist at all, won't help computers much. What consumes the most energy in traditional CPUs is not energy transfer, but switching transistors at an insane frequency and scale. It is currently unclear whether a CPU can be built from superconductors and scale to similar levels as existing semiconductors do, probably not.
While energy transfer is basically a free operation in the universe (free in terms of energy loss, not time) under certain conditions, such as in interstellar space or in existing cryogenic superconductors, changing physical states back and forth usually costs both time and energy.
Whether superconducting quantum computers can be scaled to significant levels remains to be seen, but I'm skeptical about that too.
As always, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Do you think room-temp superconductors are possible at all?

Austria has historic ties with Russia but I would not say Austria is a satellite of Russia, Austria is on paper neutral, but at the same time a member of the EU and a NATO partner supporting Ukraine. But we are dependent of Russian gas, expensive LNG and IT services from the U.S. and daily products and resources from China. Does this make us a satellite of all three countries?

#Nostr vs. #Hive Daily active users, 3 surprising results:
1 Nostr has an incredible number of registered users.
2 Nostr has about as many active daily users as Hive, about 10K.
3 The main problem of Nostr (and Hive) is the user retention. After 30 days, most users (>99.9%) have left the platform.
