Terence Eden has a new blog about spam in his FOSS Matrix client.

I’m never going back to Matrix – Terence Eden’s Blog

And there is a lesson for all nostr client devs in there.

Openvibe.social is an interesting (proprietary) app that combines 4 different social networks incl Nostr, Mastodon and Bluesky. Here is a review by John Gruber ( though 6 months dated)

Daring Fireball

Openvibe, a Multi-Social-Network App for Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads (Supposedly), and Nostr

Openvibe, which mashes together multiple accounts from mulitple networks into a single timeline, is interesting, but not for me — and I’m n...

'I really don’t see the point of mashing the tweets from two (or more!) different social networks into one unified timeline. To me it’s just confusing.'

Bitcoin's average 10 minute update window ( which isn't exact because of the design), is kind of a genius move. We are all used to having real time systems so much, adding delay, that too in minutes, in some update in what's actually a database/ledger, seems counter-intuitive. Point where I want to get, and what I find interesting, is why can't we add this same kind back off time-wait logic into (decentralized) social media updates. Why do we want real time updates. Lets give people 10 minutes to think about something and reply. haha

Builds are available in the Action tab in github repository.

One of the problem points of Nostr, and every such solution which depends on public/private key cryptography, is that its not easy for the 'average' person to store their keys. So that is the why Nostr is only for 'bitcoin' people, because, they know how to store their keys, one could say. 1/n

added a new options in "nostr console" so that you you can see a timeline of events of your 'mutual follows'. Builds here:

hi all...

About 2 months ago, dev called dpc launched rastra.me , which is a social network that uses Iroh library, which in turn works on torrent's mainline DHT, in other words, there is no centralized server involved in accessing data/notes under rostra. right now the app is broken though..
