I've observed that this type of negativity is simply just something that the intellectuals like to hide behind, either out of laziness or more often, to avoid being perceived as slow to grasp it, late to the game.

one-time-use npubs are kinda silly, by definition they provide no assurance of authorship by anyone of credibility - it's about as useful as anon mode in reddit
the problem of anonymous credibility in a decentralised protocol is not easy, but it's possible, watch this space

perhaps make cookies require a permission, just like access to location, access to mic, etc. and the browser would let you auto-set

an app that keeps me upto date on what's going on - that filters the noise yet reaches beyond far beyond my follow list, brings to me what i value and yet doesn't hog my attention, where i'm happy to pay-per-use and because it saves me time and keeps me informed, where i get rewarded for helping others stay credibly informed
it almost exists, but not yet

2024-07-17 09:15:07

Top nostr priorities are:
1 content / user discoverability
2 quality assesment and filtering
3 ease of use
"other stuff" won't happen if social doesn't work, there just won't be the critical mass foundation, the general functional substrate for all the "other stuff" to be useful

i like this a lot, been thinking about composability in general and specifically about discoverability and relay logic
lists are the closest, but as you say, they're generic, and making per-user lists would be unwieldy
complicating relays in this is a big departure from being 'dumb'
so i wonder if optional 'indexers' are the way, i think many clients are already doing it (certainly primal), and everyone keeps doing it their own way, we'll eventually see the clients become walled gardens
ofcourse the downside is that indexers become de-facto sources for most, but as long as they're easy to implement/stand up (i'm even thinking in-browser personal indexers), the same argument used for relays is used for indexers - and there's always the option of just querying relays directly
the upside of shareable feed logic and the reduction of loads on relays due to indexers aggregating (most of) the querying feels worth it

Threads are hard to do because of a number of reasons, such as no ability to actually query replies to a note, but especially difficult because of how to represent threads in a batch-updated reverse chrono feed that’s asynchronously loaded from various-distant relays. I can send you a whole paper on the UX considerations that I wrote as part of tackling it myself.
It’s hard but not impossible, I haven’t seen any clients do it well yet.

Hope is the proof-of-work.
As someone who attended many fiat and even tech conferences, it struck me how authentic, positive and hopeful bitcoiners are by comparison.
Yet what makes it really special is that it’s not just hope - people are putting in the work: the coders, the podcasters, the book writers and the street preachers…
As @npub1tdc…8r0y aptly said: “just do” - and your reward will be hope.
And the combined hope is what makes it hope for everyone.
