dont get me wrong i love labelers

2024-09-08 14:41:36

are Náutico our rivals? can i yell at Kuba?

2024-08-26 18:06:22

there actually exists one on nostr, for a while now, but it doesnt see any use. think that is just a matter of user base though, and i think if nostr were to take off, it would likely happen via such a thing

also good music tbh

2024-08-16 07:00:54

the difference is extremely noticeable, a ton of the 1b+ videos are from western artists from the last decade. but the current most watched videos has barely any western artists in it anymore, but now a ton of indian and south american music vids with names that are completely unknown here

like, it was obvious now that it was ai spam because i saw 10 in a row, but if it was one comment i couldve easily been fooled myself into thinking it was real. puts much greater pressure on the filtering system

2024-07-17 14:32:25

so not finishing and not cancelling sort of becomes the optimal state though, because cancelling also is admitting that there are major structural flaws in the book series

2024-07-17 12:36:31

so pretty much all political events can now be gambled upon in real time while microblogging about it.
I have lots of feelings about the social impact of this, but considering the popularity of (sports) gambling at large i do think its likely that itll have a seizable audience

2024-07-16 10:15:56

think this is also an indication of a shift in thinking what labelers are supposed to be doing. The 'hide' option makes sense if you run a labeler for content moderation, but more and more people are using labelers for different purposes

2024-07-03 15:05:37

so you get this weird continuing conflict that now nonUS people are demanding to have uspol be CWed, which is obviously a very healthy and fruitful discussion with no drama whatsoever. but the transgression is not so big that anyone wants to defederate so it just sorta simmers

2024-07-03 09:31:21

I think a CW labeler that does automatic scanning of imgs for things like spiders would be a great next step for atproto, and all the components seem to be in place for it

space separation is good for sure, I just think that communities make more interesting separations

2024-06-30 07:57:31

also my belief that federation happens on a client level, all the server/infrastructure stuff is for interoperability, not actual federation.
Frames allow you to embed other software into the app, for actual meaningful federation IMHO

Strongly agreed with this thread.
Fascinating to me that fedi requires a certain decoupling of the server model to grow, while atproto probably needs to move towards a server/cluster-model to a certain extend to grow further

Yes, the technical interoperability happens on a server level, but the actual federation that people experience actually happens in the client, and this case a good example as to why that is

mastodon is doing mastodon things again, but for people interested in social networks more broadly this is an interesting example of how having only a reverse-chronological feed can significantly hinder the spread of information

what an incredible journalistic failure by theverge by framing the headline in such a way that everyone seems to think that like count goes away. which it doesnt, this only affects the 'like' tab on your profile

TIDAL has launched an integration with Nostr
If you connect your Nostr account with your TIDAL you can play full tracks on TIDAL embeds instead of only track previews

"Instead, I put to you the following: the idea that tech is political sometimes obscures the ways in which social media may be anti-political."
thats a fascinating framing, and now ill definitely need to get the book, very curious to read more

but thats the whole point of this naming discussion; if theres native interop with fediverse its usually included as part of the fediverse. See hubzilla and streams for example, theyre seen as fediverse
its this bridged nonnative interop creating a patchwork of networks thats unclear in name

Thanks!
Also there are even more references to Nostr in the TIDAL code base, Jack/Block seem pretty serious about a bitcoin/nostr integration with TIDAL.
