Happy Insurrection Day!

Tumblr.com was sold for 3M USD back in 2019. What if we bought Tumblr.com, migrated all the media to blossom servers, and merged it into NOSTR?

My grandmother had this radio. GM.

What happened to @Fedi ? Awful quiet lately. Miss you guys!

Wikifreedia is brilliant. A big breakthrough of NOSTR is having an open social graph, that anyone can join, and anyone can use. This solves problems that aren't obvious at first. For example, many people consider Wikipedia broken or captured, but how do you fix it? There is always the option to make your own version of Wikipedia, but it is very difficult to get others to follow your version, particularly if your version differs only slightly. As long as Wikipedia is good enough for most things, you probably won't get people to switch to something else, and this is a big lock in. So what does a decentralized version of Wikipedia look like? In a decentralized version, anyone can create a post about a topic, and anyone is allowed to fork a post on a topic. Okay, great, but that just means you have a hundred different versions of wiki pages on a particular topic. How does a user know which page to go to? That is where NOSTR's superpower, an open social graph comes in. You can set your software to present to you pages that are liked by others in your social graph. So for example if I wanted to look at the wiki page for quantum mechanics, and I was following David Deutsch, the page he had liked or endorsed, or even wrote would come up for me. I would get an Everettian view of quantum mechanics, unless maybe I happened to follow more physicists in the Copenhagen camp, in which case I would get that (absurd) view of quantum mechanics. This also seems to me to also be an incredibly important tool for science. It can be a revamp of peer review journals. It allows every scientist to work and publish research, building along the fork of knowledge that they believe is the best, without having to wade through crap and crank science, but still allowing the fringes to survive and possibly thrive. You never know where the next innovation will come from. It might be interesting to bootstrap off from Wikipedia, take all that original information, import it into Wikifreedia in some way, and then edit and fork from there. I think

Wikifreedia

Search, compare, and publish decentralized encyclopedia entries on Nostr.

is a fantastic idea. Thank you @PABLOF7z .
