Dope client
"I'm critical of walled gardens but still use Apple products"
I switched from an iPhone to a pixel 7a(Graphene OS). I'm still adjusting after a week but I like it so far. And also amethyst feels comparable to damus.
"We didn't shadow ban him, we simply added him to our exclusion list"
Some days I wish I could use damus, but it usually passes pretty quickly after remembering that means I'd have to use an iPhone.
I don't follow, how so?
Nice, this is gonna be my first android device so definitely gonna take a while to get adjusted, privacy is the main reason for the switch (GrapheneOS)

Primal who?

Is Primal one of those clients that doesn't let you import/export your nsec1 key?
I've tried nostros, freefrom, and amethyst on Android, and it's my favorite so far.
Noted
no, primal censors differently
fanboys everywhere
I'm sorry, what did I fanboy about again?
So please tell us what nostr is, so we can understand it and not just framing people who are using Primal as ones who dont understand nostr.
That kind of framing is mainstream media bullshit.
Im testing Primal right now on Android but do not want to defend it or so. Seem quite nice but still a way to go. (Im not a teccy so I dont know what is going in in the background.)
Damus is my favorite but switched to grapheneOS because of Bad acting of Apple e.g. zaps on Damus.
Amethyst is completely overloaded in my opinion. Probably the right app for many, but I dont think not for the masses.
These apps have to be straight forward. Good looking and running smoothly, easy to use and deliver what you want to have when starting that app. The masses dont care much about censoring and shadowbanning as long it does not hit them and as long they get what they want from the app.
(I mean you could clone the memes site 9GAG on nostr. Maybe you could setup a client and censor/shadowban everything except of memes. So the client is censoring but still fullfills its purpose. )
Damus is doing a great job. But iOS :( But is has to be mentioned that Damus got funded as well. Not from VCs but I guess it would not be where it is today without that money.
Im still missing a Damus level client for Android.
But I like that people, like you, are ranting and making public about whats happening. So maybe they will change their directions.
Even if in this case with
Primal, it is just one clien of a few. If someone doesnt like it, he can move to another one. Thats the best signal for the Devs to correct the direction if majority of users are leaving.
Cheers.
Still using Apple products means you don't understand open source at all. π€·π»

you are right π«

don't attack amethyst or damus because i don't like primus ... twitter people are always welcome ... stay and learn π«
As long as we're all making progress towards a free and open world of knowledge we're going in the right direction π€π«
that's ZBD. avoid at all costs
Fuck moral and ethics, incompetence is a problem.
primal works fine for me, I guess I am not cool anymore, oh well
no, you are the perfect rimal user, don't worry ππΌ
And gets cures
yeah it's primal, not primus, sorry ... sometimes i'm really ignorant when it comes to useless stuff
Hi Semisol,
could you please explain to me in easy language what they censor?
For example do they censor that Someone cannot post about a certain topic or do they censor specific persons from posting anything?
I saw some note from you weeks ago when that topic was hot. But was hard to follow you as it seems that you have a lot of know how on that teccy background stuff. Which I'm lacking of.
Thanks for your explanation.
OK censoring people completely is definitely a red flag. If there was no communication up front about the rules.
You are defining it as a "tiny fraction". Who decides what is tiny or when its a lot?
It would already be to much for me if my teenager kids would see just one NSFW pic. But for this, filters could be implemented I guess.
I'm a bit in a dilemma here in my head. On one side censoring is bad I know, but on the other side I think Primal is a just a product and who but not the creator can decide the rules? They are putting their lifetime in it and can decide which track they want to go with it. But fortunately they have to compete on the market and the best will win.
The beauty in nostr is that the protocol is censor free and always offering an alternative.
But I definitely will keep that move of Primal in my head. Hoping for another Android client coming up that fits my needs.
That's a very good approach. I'm also a fan of solving the root cause instead rather than the symptom.
But what's the root problem here?
Maybe this is the last piece of puzzle that is missing in my head so I can see the bigger picture here.

Just tell why you think it sucks without dragging the users with it in the process π
maybe.
Honestly, whatβs up?
Google wall garden? πΆπΎπ€·ββοΈ
This assumes that users always use hashtags properly.
But I understand your point.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on this :)
You have a Lightning Address or something like that so I can leave you a few sats?
As Primal Android only allows me to zap through Mutiny and Alby, that I don't use. Not cool.
Have a good day mate.
i didn't say anything for some time now, but all those lies going around are just pissing me off
