I don't think it's a good idea for people (@`OpenSats`) to be sleeping on this. Think of it this way: I see a note on nostr that I know is related to a note I wrote before but is different. What if I could "relate" those two notes? Then someone sees those two notes (or just one) and has something to say and writes a third note and references either one of the original two notes? Rinse and repeat a few times and a thought web begins to be built. A digital garden with many gardeners as it were. Social media "threads" are siloed 2D representations of thoughts and ideas. These guys are making the notion of threads 3D. (while that is a horrible downplay of the possibilities here, it represents a way to start understanding this thing). Right now this is only for Kind 30041 Events and indexed by Kind 30040 and it may only ever be that way but this is huge. It's a human minds connector and it's being built on nostr. image View quoted note →

During the merge I recognized that some events shouldn't be "nodes" but help build relationships between notes, ideas or users. Wheras the functionality here is more ad hoc. Getting that straightened first then would make building the graph more effecient, as their representations here would end up being more informative
Is this not exactly what centralized platforms use to orient their algorithms? In that case not only by mapping the collective cognitive model but also by locating the individual users in close proximity to their preferential connection points? Therefore providing the most probable certainties to those who wish to push targeted messages and ads, or maximize engagement time?
My comment wasn’t regarding whether its use was voluntary. It was in respect to the fact the post called it a human minds connector that was being built on Nostr, which I interpreted as a statement of its novelty. But it’s not novel, except for the fact it’s being built on Nostr. A way it *could* be novel is by opening the weights to each user and providing them with tooling so that they can explore the full cognitive model and curate their own preferred content.
You can do that .. just copy your note id and paste in the comment of note you think your note relate to .. like this

Here is another example. I had some thoughts about the alpha release note that I'm later going to add to the GitCitadel blog, so I just scribbled it down, on my phone, in the Compose page, and it then comes out like this, in the My Notes pages. image You can see the (unformatted, messy, draft) 30041 on the publication page. https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication/naddr/naddr1qvzqqqr4typzplfq3m5v3u5r0q9f255fdeyz8nyac6lagssx8zy4wugxjs8ajf7pqyfhwue69uhkcmmrv9kxsmmnwsargwpk8yqpwargv5kkv6twv9kz6ctvwp5xzttfwvkksetjv5rgf45 When I later add it to the blog 30040 at https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication/naddr/naddr1qvzqqqr4tqpzplfq3m5v3u5r0q9f255fdeyz8nyac6lagssx8zy4wugxjs8ajf7pqyfhwue69uhkcmmrv9kxsmmnwsargwpk8yqzzargv5kkw6t5vd5hgctyv4kz6cnvdanj6cne94ehgetvd3sj6a3dxyas7aaa then it'll be more publically-visible. At the moment, it's just one of hundreds of little Zettels I've created. 😊
