From today's SN newsletter: If you've been struggling to comprehend nostr, stop thinking about it as decentralized social media and start thinking about it as less centralized social media. Nostr makes application backends interchangeable and encourages using multiple backends simultaneously. That's it. It isn't decentralized in the way Bitcoin is. But, more importantly, it isn't centralized in the way Twitter is either. It's less centralized *enough* that nostriches aren't dependent on a single centralized entity and thus applications built on nostr have significantly altered incentives. Someone I'm forced to respect (me) once tweeted: > Unless a technology changes incentives, it merely helps history repeat faster. Nostr changes incentives. What comes next isn't a digital utopia, but its harder to predict than you think. Pura Vida!

#[0] is there a way to prevent needing to reload the Alby extension repeatedly on Snort?

pv make something nostriches want

Woke up excited to continue hacking on my toy nostr relay, booger. Today is newsletter day tho so hacking will have to wait.

@nostrtechsupport how to get alby to not need to reload in browser clients?

The ideal abstraction when programming is removing the need for one.

Have any relays made credible attempts at bayesian spam filtering yet?

Is #[0]’s golang relay the best golang nostr relay? Looking to hack together a relay in golang but want to avoid starting entirely from scratch.
