In my opinion, there’s no reason at all to have these kinds of metrics on a decentralized protocol like Nostr. Metrics like follower counts, like counts, total views, etc. are never going to be accurate anyways. *By accurate I also mean by humans.* They aren’t even accurate on centralized platforms like Facebook and Instagram because of all the bot accounts. The only to get accurate metrics is to have a centralized platform that requires ID verification to create an account. And, one ID can only be associated with one account. Then creating bot accounts become an impossible task. We should obviously not want this. It’s dystopian… I’m just saying to explain that these kinds of metrics are irrelevant on Nostr.

#Communities on #Nostr would be really cool. Basically, I want communities similar to how subreddits work on #Reddit. I’m not entirely sure how it should work, or if the features I think are necessary are even possible on Nostr given how relays work. Ideally, there should be moderation which would require admins, because who else is going to remove unwanted posts and comments. Like, if the community is about a certain topic, then it’s annoying if someone posts something completely unrelated. **Some of the features that would be required imo:** - Users can create communities with a name, description, and a photo/banner. - The creator and admins can assign and manage group roles. - Admins should be able to remove unwanted posts and comments. - Admins should be able to ban unwanted users from the community. - Communities can be public, private, or invite-only. - Users can join public communities. - Private communities would require approval from an admin before being able to join. - Invite-only communities require an invitation to join. Invites could be sent via Nostr DMs. - Users can publish posts to communities. - Communities should be able to decide whether posts require approval before being published. I wonder if someone is working on this stuff already 🤔 I think communities could really shine on Nostr, especially now that Reddit is starting to require ID verification.

It’s scary. Surveillance is everywhere, both online and IRL…

These two are adorable ❤️😂

I enjoy watching videos about the Dead Internet Theory. Whenever I interact with an account that is not well-known, I subconsciously wonder _“am I talking to a bot?”_ It’s pretty sad tbh…

Seeing #Markdown syntax in #Nostr clients that don’t support Markdown rendering is pretty annoying 😂 At least **bold** and _italic_ should be supported imo. View quoted note →

Support for Markdown is almost fully implemented in my Nostr blog. I have support for **bold** and _italic_ text. This is not part of the Markdown rendering but I’ll mention it anyways… I have done so that #hashtags are styled. Besides that, bullet point lists also work: - This is a bullet point. Btw. you can also do **bold** and _italic_ text in bullet points. - This one is indented - This is **EVEN** more indented - And you can make #hashtags in bullet points… - Here’s a normal one I suppose the last thing to implement is support for code blocks… 🚀

Done quite a bit of progress on my Nostr blog. Markdown is mostly implemented with support for **bold** and _italic_ text. Also, bullet point lists work: - This is a bullet point - This one is indented - This is **EVEN** more indented - And here’s a normal one I still need support for code blocks - working on it… 💻

Done some progress on implementing #markdown support on my personal website. - **Bold** and _italic_ text is rendered. - Bullet point lists are rendered. - Even with indented bullet points. - However, there is a bug with empty lines below a bullet point list not being displayed. They are just removed. Here, there is an empty line between this sentence and the bullet point list above, but my code removes the empty line for some reason… #dev View quoted note →

Bullet points list on my personal website is now seem to be working. Even with multiple indents. - Normal - This is indented once - This has four spaces, so should be even more indented. - Six spaces, so **EVEN** more indented Empty space before this line. - No space before here. - Indented No space before. One space before.

#Testing bullet point list: - Bullet point - Another - Indented bullet point - Another… - Yet another - And last Text below. Should only be one line break in between. - last bullet point

#Testing line breaks. 10 line breaks End of 10 line breaks
