Sorry, I'm referencing something very specific - I'm definitely not talking about people who genuinely want to help and don't know where to start!
There is someone who is going out of their way to write scripts to attack the network for weeks without ever communicating to devs, and only claiming after the fact (when he feared he was about to be identified) that it was "just to help".

@npub1q3s…d26p has been saying for two years now that #Brazil was going to be the next major frontier for free software and decentralized social media. As per usual, he was right.
Now is the moment! Please help us spread the word to all the Brazilians who were using X/Twitter before the ban and help them move to #Nostr! We've set up an easy onboarding path with @npub10qd…arpj to make it easy for Brazilians migrating from Twitter to get their keys and get started.
If anyone still uses X, it would be great to share it there to help the people find it who need to see it the most! #Brasil

There isn't really a good bunker app yet. You could use NSEC bunker (custodial, you have to share your private keys with them), Amber (never worked for me), or nak. Nak is the only thing that works, but it's confusing if you're not like really into this stuff, and you have to keep it running in a terminal in the background to sign events. This a major area for improvement in the Nostr ecosystem:

We don't, but since it's an open network where all content is public anyway, there's limited safety/privacy concerns with infiltration like other women-only spaces. Ultimately if they are behaving in a woman-friendly way and not causing problems, they can probably get away with it. That's the trade-off of being more open and protecting user privacy.
If it becomes a problem we may have to be stricter with pre-vetting prior to NIP-05 approval, but for now this is the policy:

You can still respond on the local feed, but if you want your posts to show up there for others to see then you need to use a henhouse NIP-05: https://henhouse.social/settings/identity
You can own multiple NIP-05 ids, but only one can be applied to your profile at once, so yes it will also change it on other clients.

90% honor system, 10% admin judgment. I'm not going to be doing interviews or vetting users or anything like that. I'm sure it won't be perfect and some men will sneak in and be very proud of themselves, but I'm hoping since it's an open network and anyone can see our content, anyway, that there's limited value in "sneaking" in. Its going to come down a lot to how they behave once they join to determine if they're "found out" or not.

2024-06-17 19:52:55

Lmao when men use Nostr it's "freedom of speech" and "decentralized future" ... when women use Nostr it's "dystopian feminist bullshit." 💜 🧡

I am very excited to finally announce the opening of Henhouse - the first women-only community on Nostr!
Henhouse is built on @npub10qd…arpj, and allows users to enjoy all the freedom of Nostr and the benefits of a decentralized and censorship-resistant platform while connecting in a space made just for us.
After running Spinster, the largest women’s server on the Fediverse, for 5 years — I have learned a lot from the mistakes of that platform. Nostr provides solutions, and I believe it is the future of decentralized social media.

The powerful thing about @npub10qd…arpj is that it allows people to build communities on #Nostr (as moderated or limited as they desire) without impinging on anyone else’s freedom.
After running a Fedivese server with 20,000+ accounts for 5 years, I’ve learned how important this is. Many people want communities catered to their desired vibe. As an admin, you have the responsibility to both nurture the vibe of the group, and protect individual users’ freedom. This is often in conflict.
But thanks to the account portability of Nostr, a user can be removed from a #Ditto server yet, unlike on the Fediverse, they don’t lose access to their account, their data doesn’t disappear, and they aren’t censored from the whole network. That user is just excluded from *your* domain.

You'd be surprised! When I last looked, the Fediverse (including Mastodon) had about 12 mil users. Over 13,000 Nostriches follow people on the Fediverse across the Mostr Bridge. The Fediverse has been around for over a decade and has seen many waves refugees from mainstream social media over the years.

What if people could host and monetize their own community on #Nostr, using NIP05 domains as a way to identify community members? They could enjoy a local content feed of like-minded people while remaining connected to the rest of the network...

On my other social media I'm eganged with communities like Swifties, Booktok, feminism, animal rights, local Texas groups, pop culture... mainstream stuff, largely.
Ideally as the platfrom grows we'll have more and more users interested in a variety of topics. but, as it is, Nostr can't replace my mainstream social media diet bc these are not communities here posting on these topics (to any meanful degree).
That being said, I think at first it makes sense for us to target disenfranchised subgroups of larger more mainstream communities. This is how the Fediverse found so much success. I think @Ditto will be great bc it's specifically built around this concept.
Sadly I think most social media users do not care about freedom until the lack of it effects them personally. User retention will be primarily about content and experience rather than freedom. Although I certainly hope we can onboard new users to a more freedom-focused mindset.
Id love to hear from others what communities they think would make good targets for moving to Nostr!

The past few days on Nostr have demonstrated the growing need to nurture curated communities that have the ability to limit exposure to unwanted content and focus on connecting with like-minded individuals.
This was always the goal of Ditto — to #GrowNostr by providing a tool for creating these community-driven spaces.
Ditto allows communities to manage their content experience on both a server and user level, all while maintaining the freedoms we know and love about #Nostr.
