They enforce narrative hard. I was following along one thread about California not allowing parents to be told about their kids changing gender. Every negative comment would disappear and the user banned.

I’m thinking it’s partly a problem with the incentive system the fediverse creates. The type of person that wants that kinda admin power. It’s just usually not a healthy type of person.

I think reducing their power with technology like nostr is important but ultimately we need healthier incentives to participate.

Handing out Bitcoin is a decent idea. If people would just shut the fuck up about Bitcoin the rest of the time

Weak. Needs to do squats, pushups and stop complaining.

It takes like a year of full time work to make a reddit app. Like a decent one. It will come but not quickly. The ones that came out are pretty decent for how quick they. Came out. And they are getting better.

Not hosting this is just my wallet. I guess because I’m missing some google service on grapheneOS

I’m the one been hyping nostr hard but it’s not perfect for me either. Eats the shit out of my mobile data. I think that is because you pull from so many different relays it’s like running 15 sites at the same time. That is a problem. It’s solvable with compromises.

I’m the opposite. I can receive sats but can’t send them. https://www.nostrchat.io/channel/08642dad6729819cc79650d18b93c5c913362f17f0160b57bc3603345d6658e3

I think lemmy will end up breaking off into so many echo Chambers, ppl will realize the farce of what the fediverse claims to be and go right back to reddit.

I had really hoped that instances that allowed more wide and varied opinions would naturally grow in size to be the largest. Instead de-federation has continue to cut and slice and separate anyone and everyone. It will never be able to compete with large centralize services like that.

I said I owned three restaurants and a gas station ( I don’t) and a millionaire, have slept with hundreds of women so they should take my advice and go to the gym. Really makes libtards angry when you suggest they should better themselves or not watch porn. Lol makes them so mad

Oh man I had some funny ones yesterday before they nuked that account.

I mean I know this isn’t a answer for everyone but I maintain like wolfballs.com . And I can post my information there. domain names are reasonably anonymous and so far has not been attacked by censorship. Other than that, keep your shit secure I guess. But yeah I can see the value in increasing that security.

Back up isn’t really a problem atleast. You can access everyone’s followers on nostr. Everything is public. Person to person messages are kept private with encryption. If you lose your PK though those all become public.

Well, what is the key server? It has to be a person, computer, blockchain. Something right?

Ok so the masterkey and the key server are the central authority. You can implement the same thing in nostr. For example, someone could just manage your key for you. And you interact through a normal username and password. I’m sure those kinda service will come about.

I don’t really understand that. Sounds like there needs to be some kinda central authority for that to work. I would have to read more about it. The guy who made nostr is really good with crypto stuff though. Someone said he was a core bitcoin developer.

Lemmy world is probably the best place to troll right now. It has a very low bar of entry. You can use a fake email to sign up. Immediately start posting images in comments. You’ll get banned but not before getting lots of soyboys super angry.

Nostr is going to have anti trolling measures. Already people have it set to where they ignore comments from people not in their circle of friends. Just as a spam reduction technique.

If trolling libtards is your thing, right now the fediverse is perfect. Like, i’m surprised no one has made whole websites dedicated to it. A few months ago one of those libtard journalist Taylor Lorenz signed up on mastodon and had thousands of antisemetic replies on her first post. She’s Jewish. stuff like,

“The holocaust never happened but it should have”

I think she cried.

yesterday I posted a bunch of rage inducing graphs on lemmy world’s feminist forums and it took them like 8 hours to ban me. Not before getting hundreds of downvotes. Stuff about being childless and being depressed.

To me that isn’t really what digital freedom is about. Even if it’s really funny. I don’t want anyone telling me who I can listen to. It’s morally reprehensible. The technology should allow users to block trolls though. Just from a engineering perspective.

I know there are people like that, but that just feels weird to me. I get it for content creation (art, music, code, video, etc) or other things where people have to put in time and effort or provide a community service but have costs to offset. But literally paying someone based on what they say just feels alien to me. Maybe cuz I can’t think of it in terms of IRL interaction without imagining someone paying people to be friends with them.

I get so excited with someone sends me 3 cents. I know i’ll never use it most likely but I mean, you post lots of quality memes. To me it makes sense that people who enjoy it and want it to continue should start tipping.

I like to think of it less as a culture of paying to talk to someone and more of a culture of giving and celebrating each other and prosperity. As apposed to a communist fediverse where everyone complains about billionaires.

No private keys are sacred in nostr. Just like Bitcoin. You lose it you have to tell all your followers to re follow the new public key .

I’m currious how data is copied around without overloading nodes. It seems like it may also have the problem of some people don’t see some comments on a specific post, which leads to confusing conversations

I don’t fully understand how all that works. I know there is some nips about finding out where users usually post stuff too. But i have noticed in some clients i’ll see stuff in chat thats not in other’s because the relays are different.

That is just the trade off you get for decentralization though

Well, the idea that I can create my own pleroma instance, create an identity, and then go check out noagenda or whoever

I keep seeing this an as argument for the fediverse. But it really is not and i’ll tell you why.

If everyone who used the fediverse hosted their own instance they would indeed have decentralized identities.

But they don’t.

So in your example, yes you can create your instance and your identity will be separate from noagenda social. But what happens when noagenda social bans you?

Every single user on no agenda social is banned from seeing you.

But yea, that’s why I want to like nostr, mehbe someday a different client

This is fair. And i’m not married to nostr. I believe though in a year or two we should have a pretty solid solution. It’s an ok mastodon and twitter alternative for now. Uses a lot of data though.
