Hey @Alex Gleason are you still running that service where you spin up relays for communities?

Question: If nothing is curated, how do we find things? Answer: Nostr relays that function like magazines. Each of your contributors gets whitelisted to post on the relay. They are contracted to post X times per week. Readers just read from the relay. Nostr clients need to support this UX. @hodlbod @rabble

Relays should be the primary entity in Nostr UX. Trying to make it all oriented around users / people is a hack workaround.

Honestly, there should be no “following” and “followers” list that is attached to public user profiles. NIP-2 (follow list) should be private to the user. NIP-65 (advertise relays where the user generally writes to and relays where the user generally reads mentions) should replace it as the “public” info on someone’s profile.

Please just call it payouts or something. This shit is worse than Urbit naming View quoted note →

All the fediverse had to do was allow accounts to be separate from servers. That’s literally all they had to do.

Would be nice if there was a way to quickly and easily tell which relays are which… Telephone pole = ephemeral, chaotic, maybe proof of work to post?, low trust Shopfront Window = pay per post or ad-supported, agreed upon lifespan, semi-trusted Church / University bulletin board = whitelist membership based, high trust View quoted note →

It should be much, much harder to post to relays. Increase the barrier to entry. Show the relay proudly in the apps.

Pretty cool to see a network of user run hotspots actually working. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250424407728/en/Helium-Network-Brings-Wi-Fi-Connectivity-to-ATT-at-Thousands-of-Locations-Across-America

If @Keychat has the mail metaphor, regular Nostr posting should embrace the telephone pole metaphor. You’re just putting up your flyer in various places. - telephone pole (public) - storefront window (private) - church billboard (non profit) It accurately captures the reality of what is happening to your data. Each location can take down your flyer whenever it wants. Or it could keep it up well after you need them to.

Does everyone know that Trump is in favor of outsourcing and increasing work visas? And he’s barely even deporting illegals to add insult to injury lol. The dude just loves fucking us over every single way he can.

Anyone want to test @0xchat with me? Not sure who else is using messaging that works with the new NIP-104 MLS
