Respect the good work. Even the gentle good work. Work is important.

Took a break from Nostr “notes” this winter. Just now getting back to it. You know what saved Nostr for me? More other stuff apps. 🤯

Assuming that the solution for surfacing valuable “information” from Nostr will necessarily evolve from a “webs of trust” style mapping of interactions relative to each user … The pertinent question to explore for each implementation (like NostrHub below) seems to be “what algos” to use and and “who computes” these recommendations … I would disagree. Any freedom respecting solution, must allow useful algos (for each client use case) to emerge from each user’s own network. This will require that the algos themselves (their configs and output) are interoperable across clients and compute providers. While the questions of “what algos” and “who computes” is still relevant (for each client use case), these are most likely to provide “algo templates” and “useful defaults” that can propagate and be discovered alongside user generated algo configs and service generated output. TSM is a protocol for exactly this. It’s not perfect (yet), but it’s currently Nostr’s only attempt at standardizing these IO primitives for interoperable recommendation and discovery. TSM will unleash Nostr’s superpower. Once established, decentralized content curation (with instant propagation of “Nostr’s best” algos) will outperform app centered moderation and recommendation in every metric of user satisfaction as well as cost savings. #weshouldtalk @Soapbox @MK Fain @Alex Gleason MVP demo is live

Oslo Freedom Forum dress code is “business casual” and “cocktail” for the evenings. Got me some digs for the occasion. 🤠

Nostr is the only social protocol that offers freedom for social apps to operate independently on a network of shared users, with unrestricted access to engage directly … with every one of them. This is what freedom looks like.
