NOSTR "trending" feeds on Primal is mostly retarded nonsense.
I say this after MONTHS of muting accounts who post AI slop, Bitcoin-logo coffee mugs, religious raving bobos, and food & homestead posters.
Thousands of accounts muted for that. And still the avalanche of garbage posts continues.
If these Primal "trending" feeds come from NOSTR engagement metrics, then NOSTR is mostly retarded.
If these Primal "trending" feeds come from Primal, then Primal is retarded.
Which is it?
Does anyone know how Primal’s “Trending“ algorithm works? Is that documented anywhere?

I feel we don't appreciate enough how little drone cameras following luges down narrow tracks is badass.
Here's a Nostr tip that's working very well for me.
➡️ Mute the users who post garbage and nonsense ⬅️
Whenever I come across garbage and nonsense, I immediately mute the source.
I won't say what I consider "garbage and nonsense", but you know what I mean.
Observe: after a few days, your Nostr feed has much higher quality.
After a few weeks you're gonna love the difference active curation makes.
Turns out, Dumbf*kStupid is a finite set.
Since Stupid tends to echo Stupid, that entire echo chamber exposes itself surprisingly quickly.
"Trending" on Nostr" is a source of insight and joy now that cringe is mostly gone.

@craigraw I have a question.
One of the nice features of sparrow wallet is, it clearly shows the distinction between receive addresses and change addresses, and shows lists for both.
What would happen if a user inadvertently chooses a change address instead of a receive address to receive funds?
Should we put the text of Craig Wright’s legal disclosure in a block on the Bitcoin blockchain?
