Suppose there is a relay that only accepts PoW notes, another that only accepts notes from your WoT, another that only accepts notes once they got enough zaps or likes, another that is manually curated by a group of people, another that only takes notes from people that pay to publish, another that only takes notes classified as talking about some given subject. Then we could have a client mode that fetches from all these, then only displays notes that have showed up in at least 2, or 3, of these -- or whatever combination.

And that would be a very cheap operation that doesn't hurt decentralization. Unlike some other ideas I've seen people have over and over for "algorithms" on Nostr, which involve someone downloading "all notes" (as if such concept made sense on Nostr) and then running them through some pipeline.

Over-engineered I think. We’re just trying to send information over the internet without a central authority.

How about the node rates notes by scoring them and then the user rates nodes with upvotes and downvotes. And some combination of these variables becomes their algorithm
Relay sets are already halfway there. The client would need to just display the notes that it already deduplicates?

The 'purple PoW' means there is proof of work detected on the event, because the event ID has leading 0's (similar to bitcoin block hashes). If you did not do this on purpose, it just so happened to occur on accident. The eventID of that note was: 000000b4c48f13aba0db463751ce17. The '24' is the associated difficulty Thats a lucky streak of 0's sir, congratulations :)
you can’t have accidental PoW, this is an implementation error

Hhhm. I don't mind doing some PoW but I still don't understand how it happened lol
Did you get 6 zeros randomly in your event id? That is awesome. Anyway, Amethyst does show them because most PoW signers weren't committing their desired pow in the nonce tag in the past. In the same way, PoW relays didn't seem to care about having the nonce tag. They were just counting the zeros on the id. But we can change that on our side if people now require that tag.
