I feel like Thomas Massie would be a good fit for Nostr

Strange, I'm seeing a muted account in my feed on Primal web?

My two cents. To keep active people around, it's important to make sure their following lists don't get wiped out.
Mine got nuked, and I stopped using Nostr for a month. I only came back because I love the idea of decentralized social media and enjoy following Nostr devs' progress.

Ring road is definitely doable in 10 days in the Summer, if you don't mind 3+ hours of driving each day. I've gone before in the Summer - South Iceland was my favorite part.

This has happened to me before. I stopped using Nostr for a month because of it. Bad UX which I hope will be fixed.
This is what helped me: https://heguro.github.io/nostr-following-list-util/

2024-05-21 20:06:09

Welp, looks like from my end that my Following list was nuked again 😕 . Spent a lot of time curating my following list this time around and was really enjoying the content of my network. Not gonna lie, I'm feeling pretty disappointed, as some of these people were less well known but I thought had great thoughts/insights.
Thought I'd include the introductions tag for more visibility.

Hey Rabble, wasn't the nos.social nsec compromised? I remember it was changed to Pablo before, and because of that, I ended up muting this address.
Would it be better to start with a fresh address for nos.social for people to follow, or is this address somehow secure again?

Interesting, this is something I've only heard about but never put much attention towards.
Did not know about its effects, on what organs, and even the various types of fluoride, so thanks for the explanation!

Interesting, I was unaware of that. What's seahorsing?

2024-03-27 01:07:25

Genuinely curious, what does fluoride in tap water do to the body that's bad? I haven't really looked into it

2024-03-26 16:53:58

It would be cool if we could write private notes or create tags on Nostr clients for who we follow and mute.
I sometimes find myself following someone and not sure why I did.

2024-03-26 16:35:57

- reply

Cool that you're working on WoT! It's something I'm deeply interested in too.

2024-03-26 04:57:07

- reply

Wow Rabble, been a while since I've seen Nos. I do like that feature, being able to "inherit" another person's mute list.
Believe last time I checked Blue Sky, they also have that ability to follow mute lists.
I believe we're directionally agreed, for more mainstream users, they would appreciate some basic moderation and guardrails

CEO of Block? Cool! Followed

2024-03-24 18:45:13

Just learned @npub18m7…q955 has bookmarking capability, which I miss from X.
The perfect app for me would be combining @npub12vk…pugg's feeds, @npub18m7…q955's bookmarks, and Coracle's web of trust.

2024-03-24 18:31:50

@npub1u6q…nd7t by the way, does the #ssi in your bio stand for Self Sovereign Identity? If so, awesome. I'm into that too!

2024-03-24 18:29:12

Typed links would be amazing. Some type of custom tagging of nodes, which could show up as a different color on the graph, would be great for my use case too.
I've heard Obsidian has gotten better over the years. Is it what you use daily?

2024-03-24 18:17:06

Cool article! I'm really into PKMs, knowledge graphs, and how LLMs can help with that too. Use Logseq instead of Obsidian though

I too am curious to know where the location data is from.
How did people have geo-coordinates in their notes? Did they post their note knowing that it was doxxing their general or exact location?

- reply

I'll second that!

2024-03-22 20:10:40

It's cool seeing non-English speaking people on Nostr. I'd love if there was some type of auto-translate feature on the Nostr clients I use like Primal and Coracle

Doesn't IPFS hash the content too to get a unique ID? I'm struggling to understand the difference between Blossom and IPFS besides, I'm assuming, the lack of a DHT for Blossom

Forgot to add: I wonder how ZKP works in this scenario.

2024-03-15 17:35:41

- reply

Hey David, thanks for the reply!
I'm actually curious on how Web of Trust and ZKP would work in regards to social media - so like Twitter/X-like Nostr clients.
Consider this scenario:
Alice trusts Bob's insights on controversial topic X.
Bob trusts Charlie's insights on controversial topic X.
Because of how controversial the topic X is, Alice and Bob both want their designations of trust to be hidden.
Alice did not directly designate her trust in Charlie on topic X, but would benefit from his insights.
With PGFT built into a Nostr client, could Charlie's content appear on Alice's feed while keeping the trust relationships private?
Would Pretty Good Freedom Tech support this kind of private, transitive trust?

2024-03-13 21:32:17

Wikifreedia is super cool!
I remember @nprofile…e9us mentioning something like this before in a podcast episode.
Awesome to see it being developed.

2024-03-13 21:28:31

Hey @npub1u5n…ldq3, I came across @npub120d…f6jp and think it's a cool project. Have you ever considered Zero Knowledge Proofs at all to hide the trust relationships between people, maintaining privacy?
I'm a total beginner in ZK tech so don't know how feasible this would be, but I have found some others thinking about it elsewhere online:

Why is it when I'm browsing on Damus, I only see a few reactions, but when I'm on Coracle I see way more on the same posts?

2023-08-02 20:49:03

Anyone know how to sign into Primal? I'm using nos2x, but I can't seem to sign into primal.net. I'm using Brave browser for what it's worth.

#[0], I recently downloaded NOS.social and it's my favorite Nostr client so far (really like the extended network feature).
I know it's in beta but the app keeps crashing on me now every time I try opening it.
Anything I could do to get it to work again?

Shared specialized blocklists.
In this instance, have a blocklist to specifically block spam from bots which people can subscribe to.
People can fork and adjust the list if they disagree with who is a bot or not.
Can also randomly present people with posts from the blocklist from time to time so they can affirm if the blocklist is still doing what it's meant to.

#[0] Hi Will, I'm new to Damus and Nostr and am excited about decentralized social media.
However, the only posts I ever see on the global search "Universe" tab is spam by Chinese bots.
Is there some way for me to easily figure out which relays they're from? I want to discover more people on Nostr but the global search is practically unusable for me right now.

Hey Seth, big fan of your work. What are some gossip-based networks that you think are good or interesting? Gotta say, I'm not a big fan of this big downside of relays

2023-02-23 00:22:24

Why I keep seeing Chinese bot posts? New to Nostr... would love to figure out which relay they're coming from...
