Oh, that looks like a good fit actually! Interesting.
How did you become aware of Nostr? And how familiar are you with the protocol?

There are actually a couple of academic studies that did exactly this.
One of them, done with dutch school children up to 12 years old mentioned their biggest problem was comming into contact with inappropriate people and content.

Ok, but that applies to all data on public, free servers (urguably excluding internet archive, other than that they potentially go bankrupt due to lawsuits), so has nothing to with Nostr;
Actually, due to the interoperable/interchangeable nature of relays, would Nostr not improve matters of data availability, if something like say internet archive would be a relay? (As well as self hosted, peer hosted or the already mentioned commercially hosted stuff).

You said "data on nostr becomes even more difficult to recover over time, and eventually irrecoverable if not hosted elsehwere, or regularly reposted"
As well as:
'Storing data on nostr long-term is too high maintenence'
Given that what makes a relay a relay is just a handfull of query and indexing conventions as described in NIP-01, but other than that just a server. What about that all the sudden impacts the ability of a computer to store data? What makes other computers possibly so special that they can do what computers running the nostr conventions cant?
Given that Nostrs defines nothing about the server, other than these interaction conventions, could you not just apply to that server whatever it is in mind you have for this special alternative-non-relay-server?
(Nothing is stopping someone to run a relay with a tripple redundant geographically distributed tape storage back-end storing all the things to the heatdeath of the universe, a thing big cloud providers have been providing since forever)

If @npub1gcx…nj5z just turns on NIP-03 by default for everything we would already have this flow today. If the bigger relays would do this, we would have this flow today, if you would do this for every new kind0 you see, we would have this today.

Dividing 1 bitcoin transaction fee cost by a million gives you your "not free" number. Its silly. Nothing is free, only the sun is free. I should be paying for every step i take in life if this 'not free' logic of yours would apply.
The more its used the 'cheaper' it gets, i really dont understand. Any argument for "cost" and perhaps "spam" are same for relays.
OTS is used in elections, you really think a couple of governments and business usecases is enough to bankroll OTS for the entire world for all the things at all time? Because i do, the napkin math on this is very comfortably mathing.

As far as i see it you are complaining the web is never going to take off because you are required to type in h t t p : / / W W W dot, in front of every website url you want to visit.
Normal people, are doing everyday things, that are far more complex than understanding location.
What? Are 'normal users' confused you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and to the bakery to buy bread? And there are all these different bakeries, how is a normal person supposed to know and understand which one he should go to, and then there are the opening times. And then sometimes, the shop is closed for some reason, and then the user is just supposed to go to a different shop?????
Shopping is never going to take off, its too confusing for normal people, you cant expect them to understand all these things.
Sending letters? Are you crazy??? How many stamps do i need? Where do i put them?? The adress, i need to write that down? How do i even know the adress of the person i want to send a letter. And i have to put the letter in the correct box? This is insaine, no normal users is ever going to send letters, the postoffice is out of touch!!!
Seriously, relax, in the grand scheme of things, all we are doing here (be that bitcoin and now Nostr, both residing in this new crypto paradigm), is a new way of doing things. But there is nothing about this stuff that makes it impossible for the everyday person to build comprehension. I am not projecting, i am just further allong and see how its not much different in terms of complexity of systems we were completely accustomed to in the past.

Where did you get the idea you just need 1 relay? Do you also just use 1 website on the internet?
The whole relay thing just requires people to build intuition around it, and the first people are need to do so are developers. For the most part, client developers either fucked up the relay part (Damus in the beginning, and Primal to this day), or they shoved it into the background.
Its only more recently that developers more broadly are figuring it out and are experimenting and exploring the possibilities. Not just in functionality but also in how they present it to the user.
I don't think this intuition out of reach for the normie, i don't see why it would be; its very analoge actually and maps well to the physical world in many instances. The same goes for keypairs actually.
In any event, Nostr does in fact introduce a new paradigm, and we are just figuring out what the implications are as we go along. As such i am patient and not too worried at this stage. As long as i see progress i remain hopefull we 'get there'.
What client do you use, and have you tried @npub1yzv…rf8q ?

Nostr is deceptively tricky to understand. It is not hard, but the issue is that odds are that you think you get it, whilst you actually dont. To be clear, it took me a while to get it right in my head, and that is as someone who has been thinking about protocols and distributed compute crap long before Nostr was a thing, and was in direct conversation with the jungle spirit. I am superduperultramegaturbo smart (as well as funny and humble), so i am not calling anyone stupid here.
People stumble over the relay part.
Both these things apply to Nostr:
A: The specific relay does not matter;
B: The specific relay is all that matters.
Using signatures to tamperproof (1) the data, as well as a basic set of queries and indexing (2), gives us:
1: the event is the event, regardless where it came from, so it could be any relay.
2: every clients should work with any relay; any relay should work with any client.
But! Thats just this abstract technical substrate of interoperability. Its NIP-01, something that fits on a hand full of pages, and cant be expected to be the answer to all the things. Any real questions and issues that pop up when creating for an usecase needs more than that. And in large part, thas answer lies with the relays.
Where data is stored; who can access it and why? All these questions lead us to it mattering a lot what the specific relay is. A relay is someones computer, its their physical machine. They own it, they controll it, they decide who can enter, what they can leave behind and for how long, and what it hands back to you.
It matters that its the left handed one-eyed neo-eco-monarchist frog enthousiast relay; and you right handed people are not welcome. It matters what someones inbox relay is, if you want to make sure that person sees you post. It matters what a relays retention policy is if you want to keep your stuff around for a long time.
In theory things are interoperable and interchangeable; but in practice they are all individual servers, owned by different people, run for different reasons, with varying purposes.
And that was always at the core of the matter; a 'platform' is a specific server, run by specifc people. And we were forced into a tug-of-war between all of us (be that users, advertisers or governments), because we were all silo'd and stuck on that 1 computer, because we lose sight of eachother the moment we are not all together on that 1 computer.
Nostr does not magically make it not someone's computer, with the associated rights, responsibilities and privileges that come allong with it being their computer. All Nostr does is put all those servers on an interoperable substrate such that we can freely associate without an outside party comming in between, in a way we won't lose sight of eachother and freedom to choose and use whatever app/client/software we want.
The archipelago of private islands, the waters are open, pick your ship, chose your destiny.

Yakihonne does indeed cover all the bases, iOS, android, browser. And its my daily driver and they do a great job and i shill it to everyone that asks. BUT, I still don't want to give specific app recommendations for both practical and principal reasons. Unless the specific app is specifically designed to be uninstalled eventually.
Oeh, that would also be a nice feature, the app either forgetting your keypair, or just outright bricking itself after some time; no backup? R3kt💀

Hey Nostr. Next week i will be starting my PoDcAsTiNg ToUr proselytizing Nostr on whatever podcast that will have me. Right now i have 4 appearences scheduled, hopefully more will come. There is not much rhyme or reason to what sort of shows these are, other than they appearently they want to talk about Nostr.
As mouth of Sauron, i mean Ostrich, there is 1 thing i am still stuck on, and that is the 'call to action' part.
Inevitably the question will come what people can or should do. Now to be clear, i am there to talk about Nostr, not a particular app, or even usecase. I want to give context, explain etc. Generally i think we are still in the innovator/early addopter stage, and those type of people frankly don't need many pointers other than a general pointer to the thing itself. I think it is overall useless to send people to app X,Y,Z, with half assed instructions, only for them to give up after 5 minutes.
So, how would you approach this? Broadly the #introductions seems to work, i guess...
Just spitballing here, but perhaps "we" (if you read this that means you, yes you in particular, no not that other guy, you) could come with a feature poor bare bones "my first Nostr app" that focusses on two things:
1: provide immediate social environment, so perhaps the #introductions is the default feed or something like that.
2: is geared towards explaining all the things, and showcasing all kinds of Nostr apps that are out there. So a tab with explainer videos and documentaries, a tab with explainer articles etc.
And i gues the point is more or less the combination of those two things, a social environment that welcomes noobs and helps them allong. Where the whole premis of the app is that you 'graduate' away from it. At which stage you download a 'regular' Nostr app whilst already bare-minimum bootstrapped and with enough understanding to find your own way. (Maybe even deliberately build in all these pitfalls where the app tries to trick you into leaking your nsec, confronting you with the consequences, forcing you to start over😈)
Something like that would make my work a lot easier because then i dont have to either pick teams/sides recommending a particular app, nor pre-explain a bunch of basic steps to ensure they even can get started.
Anyway...

Amethyst renders entire threads, yakihonne will eventually.
I think everyone in this discussion is missing the actual point, which is that perhaps the most difficult part irt Nostr is that it is reinventing the wheel. The web already exists; most of what Nostr has to offer is basically the same thing you can find elsewhere that already had decades of developtment behind it.
So this chaotic mishmash of a "we" have to figure out this new paradigm (crypto-key-centric, relay based), which is something we are figuring out as we go;
And in that context stumble our way into competing with fully fleshed out incumbents (and this is not just a dev/UX thing, but the fact its some of the largest mega-ultra-turbo-mega corps this planet has currently, lol, so its build up infra on a 1000 different levels/axis/dimensions).
And looking at it that way, both of you are right: yes its an avant-garde frontier settler group of people with associated mindset that will have to bootstrap and carry this thing for the foreseeable future; and yes its a continuous failing in living up the the demands of "regular" users.
The a precarious situation, but i remain both hopefull and vigilant. I agree with you that i dislike the tone of the OP, its a bit of a LARP if you ask me...perhaps its (self)motivating speech some people need to talk some courage into themselves and others, even if it is at the cost of the normies; which frankly is not the end of the world, atleast at the current stage we are in.
At the end of the day the point of Nostr is freedom of association, which means that there is no real reason why the current userbase should constitute any hold-up for others to embrace the protocol. And i don't think it is, things just have not progressed enough for other types of groups to start doing their own thing.

So, to reiterate the article i made about rotation. I hate it, because you just work under the same base assumption the key (in this case the main/root) key is not compromised. Sure sure, i get it, it provides some granularity in security and use-frenquency and stuff. But at the end of the day, the entire scheme crumbles when the root key is compromised, and now you are arguably in a worse postion because you are in some race condition against your attacker whilst the outside world has this false sense of sense-making; diligently following the steps thinking they end up at the real you at the end of the yellowbrickcryptoroad.
So why not say fuck 't, and stick to the 1 keypair, and transition to another one, using social cues as to who the real you is.
Anyway, people might disagree, but after a long time of headache filled pondering this stuff i concluded that this type of scheme thinking is a trap.

I like it in the reverse, but not how you put it, i.e. im able to generate sub ID's for various purposes on the fly that a client/signer is able work with via derivation; making me just having to handle 1 keypair (with the trade off that in case of compromise/loss, i fuck up all that stuff as well)
The main issue with what you are proposing is that it breaks the assumption much of everything works on here, and that is everything resolves around a particular npub. Instead, you put in this extra step required having to run some xpub derivation stuff to see if some pubkey potientially means something else i would otherwise not be aware of.
So in other words, what on earth do i query if i look for your stuff? Do i query a range of derivations? Do relays do that for you? You just broke the whole straightforward pointer basically

Look all of us here get a hard-on for p2p, but the point is that we also realize it just does not work. To quote the innitial post on Nostr by fiatjaf:
"It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works."
Now i don't understand why you would compare a federated system with Nostr, because they are different. I also don't understand what you mean when you effectively say that webservers don't scale, that seems to be a demonstrably false notion.
I don't think you actually understand what the idea behind Nostr/relays is, combined with a remaining fetish for p2p (we get it, we have all been there, and to some extend part of us will always remain there).
Maybe it will click for you one day, maybe not. Have a nice day

A meme here in the Netherlands (as well as elsewhere actually) that they keep harping on is this notion of 'rule of law'(rechtstaat), and the fact that political parties supposedly are trying to undermine it. Some group of lawyers came with a publication continuing the meme.
The funny thing is, what they call rule of law, actually just boils down to treaties; UN, EU, whatever. Stuff the executive branch put their signature underneath at some point in time; stuff entirely made up by bureacrats. Subsequently the judiciary takes that stuff and streches its interpretation to crazy lala-land levels...and the irony is those treaties then incapacitates the legistlative branch from doing anything, because it has already been decided by treaty.
Our state has successfully been hijacked (as have many others), via the shackles called treaties. And it is not as if there was no pushback; we litterally held referenda on some of this stuff, voted no, and it just got ignored.
The "polarization" over here (as yes, in many other places as well) is through the roof, and it is basically this. One group, either because they are easily manipulated or simply agree (or benefit), go allong in this globo homo gayplex; the other group, either because they intuit or because they understand (or fall victim), oppose it.
Unfortunately, all opposition has been systemically dismantled and made impotent for decades now (even up to political assassination). Things have improved a bit, but for the longest time speaking up about this was socio-economic suicide (it still is, but the other camp is well developed enough now that you won't be completely isolated).
I don't know why, but i have been aware of this stuff ever since i became politically concious. For a time i even spoke out publicly, but it did not take long for the veiled threats of reputation destruction by mainstream journalists to pop up. I decided to focus my efforts on Bitcoin and avoid getting pigeon holed. Today my attention is mostly geared towards Nostr, but essentially its all the same: building the alternative infrastructure so that we actually have a shot at changing things.

What makes Nostr different from most other attempts is that it took two bold choices and a boring one.
The first bold move was to put cryptography at the center;
The second bold move was to let go of any attempt or pretense of a "global state";
The boring safe move was to pick JSON.
I once posted that Nostr is a verb, and that is because it is all human action. There is no system that guarantees you anything, beside perhaps the (assumption of) integrity of keypairs. The result is that at every turn, we will need webs of trust to solve the issues we encounter; which is ultimately the flexible extension of dicernment, a social phenomena.
As such, I posit that Nostr is the first true social medium, and perhaps that is the boldest thing of all.

All i can gather is that people have misconceptions about the protocol and/or perform extrapolations in totally wrong directions.
To name two misconceptions ive come across is that everyone should need to connect to the same relay, and that redundant storage of events is somehow a requirement.

Oh and i forgot, i think the code for transforming the old longform-recipes into the new events-structure is also there; iirc it was not perfect-perfect, but pretty good.

Its actually all there, a web implementation, a mobile app, and all the code is on github, but the initiative stumbled on the finish line (which il say is my fault). I think the NIPdocumentation and a presentation about it are the parts that never got published as such.
I happen to be sick today, but il see if i can find all the links for you at some point. The relay and web-app are not hosted anywhere currently.
Also the NIP/eventkind, was rather janky. The idea was to be creative with markdown in the content-field in such a way that (non recipe focussed) clients could opt for a barebones/simplefied implementation of the render/NIP; but i was never satisfied how it got implemented in the two demo apps(web and android), so i doubted it was a good idea (i.e. perhaps the idea was too fancy and would only make things worse for implementation)
The event kind provided structured info about recipe relevant data, allowed for flexible rendering and subsequent additional processing on recipe data (allergies, portioning/amounts etc.)

All that is really needed is just 1 musig event that establishes the parent-child relationship, where both parent and child keys are used. The tech to do this exists, but as far as i am aware there is only one implementation and that is in NAK. I also don't think we actually have a NIP for musig events (in general i mean) yet, but thats honestly an afterthought.
@npub18rq…uzy6
Is one of the few examples where musig is used, although you can barely tell 😁.
But you are correct, insofar the standard i propose this would indeed be a required component

Much can be said about this topic; so much in fact, that my main answer to the question what to do when your nsec gets compromised is: cry.
Embrace the cry, submit to the cry, deeply grap the cry; for there ultimately only is one brutal reality: cry.
Other than that, bunkers, FROST-bunkers, i have some pie in the sky WoT scheme...many possible mitigations.
But remember, and this is really important: your instinct to grasp for foolish key-rotation back-up bla bla bla notions, is just cope; cope because you have yet to realize that tears are the only real conclusion.

In general i refer back to the previous article. The system (from a childs perspective) leans heavily on the white-list mode of operation, and not (so much) on black-listing/filtering. The moment you trust a relay, you should generally agree with the type of content on that relay.
If you don't trust/agree with a relay policy; don't trust/use it on a relay-feed level. If you trust particular Npubs, it will fetch its content regardless from what relay it may happen to host it (outbox model).
It makes more sense for relays, that advertise themselves as relevant/adequate for children to be highly specialized. Think a school relay, or a media organization relay, a library relay, a relay managed by some parent group with a particular worldview/religion etc.
In general a lot more relays should specialize more, and in a way you could think of relays as websites #nevent1q…g7sl

There could be a model where you pay a low fee for archiving things, and have to pay a large fee the moment you want to retrieve the events. The archive could use tape, which is dirt cheap, and retrieval would be slow.
Would be interesting to see what the costs are, ideally the cheap archiving fee's would be enough to (barely) cover the costs involved (assuming scale), and then all the profit is in the retrieval requests.

Also some clients decide to notify you on things that others don't; some clients are smarter in finding things than others; and it can just be bugs and clients quircks all around.
All of them should be using your defined relay list regardless.
On a theoretical level 100% consistency among apps all the time is impossible, but things can be a bit wonky currently, agreed.

I am not being glib here, Primal is the number 1 argument against Nostr I come across. I don’t really have a response against the argument either, other than hoping that Primal changes or it eventually becomes a marginal client. But at this moment, all we have is promises while it probably is the most popular client out there.
For those not aware, Primal does not use relays on the input side, although it does on the output side. This means that it connects to a caching server, not a relay, and you will only see what is on there. If someone references an event that is not on that server, even though relay hints are included, tough luck; the only redeeming factor is that those outside of this primal box will see your complaint you can’t see the event.
These quirks resulting from Primal being Notes and other stuff transmitted by cashing-server, instead of relays are annoying, but the most worrying part is the fact that its a real manifestation of the biggest fragility Nostr has as a protocol: Clients ignoring the spec and the design philosophy of openness and interoperability while being in a dominant popular position. I can make arguments all day about the theoretical merits of Nostr, but they are easily undermined by pointing to Primal. What am I supposed to say in response? More theoretical notions like people being able to change software, even though we know that is just not going to happen?
I understand people will retain their profile, social graph, posts etc. if they move to another client, but as it stands those just become excuses for Primal to be a bad actor; how about just fixing your shit, so I don’t have to manually broadcast my stuff so people in the Primal-box can see it, but above all I can argue for Nostr without having to concede that the censorship resistant theory is not living up to practice. #nevent1q…jx2f

The question indeed makes very little sense, but the the problem becomes how on earth i am going to explain that to you.
So lets say we have trains, and trains are cool for all kinds of reasons, but they are permissioned/centralized. So someone comes up with the idea of the car so its not permissioned/centralized. And your question would be:
I see your vehicle requires users to steer and navigate themselves, so can't you put the car on rails?
I.e. nip-05 is DNS, you suggest to use DNS to solve the drawback of the DNS-less system.
Hope this helps.

Correct, but albeit inherrently a bit more quirky and will always, even in the best possible scenario, have issues in the margin, the same WoT paradigm we sort of lean on with everything in Nostr, could apply here as well.
Now obviously the seemingly straightforward no quirks no problems in the margin DNS, google dot is always google dot com, is the point of it all.
But....given that we are already in a world with a bazillion TLD's you could argue that its already.com quirky.lol as.net fuck.ai , and.eu i.nl am.uk not.org sure.int nobody.edu has.mil ever.jetzt fallen.nu for.luxe go0gle.com
So the question is, how likely is it that google.nostr will actually bring you to google, or the other way around, how likely is a well known name subverted.
Im not taking a position here, to be clear, but atleast it is interesting to ponder, dont you think bakeme, if you are in fact, THE REAL BAKEME!?🧐

Hmmmm, can't recall if i read his 'protocols not platforms' thing so i don't even know if i agree with his base perspective. He is honest that bluesky is not fully decentralized; its just the same old 'but we will get there eventually, thats the plan, truely, because we all have the intention to make it so' type of reasoning.
So you could say he is honest actually, in so many words he just straight up admits that he thinks bluesky can get away with lack of decentralization for now, and also admits that bluesky's innitial succes is due to the short term benefits these shortcuts provided them.
All these things are adressed, but only touched on ever so slightly. He mostly inb4's it all, probably because rabble would point to the elephant in the room anyway. At the same time rabble is ofcourse very friendly. Rabble does push back and hit him precisely where it hurts, but does not go for the kill lets say.
So to directly answer your two questions:
Yes i think it is worth listening to because he is honest enough, and rabble is critical enough.
