My number one feature wish for nostr clients is support for lists 🙏
Lists are awesome
In the browser the awesome noStrudel.ninja has support
I can't find a client on Android
It's a good sign that nostr is politically diverse
It helps wider scale adoption
And stops nostr from going insane
We can agree on fundamental freedom of speech so we can talk about the things we disagree about like the size and roles of government
That's good for a healthy society
Most nostr content is focussed on the technology itself
The focus is natural and a good thing while the networks are bootstrapping
It will hopefully broaden in time but without losing the enthusiasm
Science is a social activity
This article is a really good insight into how social pressures and group behavior introduce bias
* bias in selecting what is studied
* bias in how studies are conducted
Knowledge and intelligence are derivative works obtained by absorbing & synthesising data
Why should AI knowledge be a copyright infringement but not human knowledge?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Advertisers control ad placement
The chain of control & censorship is
Advertisers > 'creators' > consumers
// another version of corporate news
Freedom of speech is quite literally freedom of reach
While individuals should have the freedom to mute/block, algorithmic suppression is the cause of most social ills seen in the corporate centralized model
A news/opinion/outrage feed is not a network is not a community is not really social media
It's a stream
Not nodes on a graph
A stream from producers > consumers
Insofar as consumers have a voice it's to upvote or downvote the product
That's the corporate model
And why I'm not bothered about the lack of 'big names' on #nostr
Nostr has conversations
That's more important
I'm seeing a lot of smart ppl building a lot of things on #nostr for free
20% of those things I don't even understand what they do
That's my layman heuristic for having confidence in nostr among competing messaging protocols
Centralized corporate social media has an asymptotic limit of 'meh'
Elon is building the absolute best social media within that limit
Open protocol driven social media has no such limit and can truly suck or be truly awesome
What do you use to convert fiat to crypto?
As someone new to this
*Buying sats* with fiat was a huge pain in the ass mainly because of the horribly buggy broken verification systems of most crypto exchanges
The irony is that lightning network is the most beautifully painless payment system I've ever used
Next time I need to fiat > crypto thinking will try a P2P exchange 🤔
