I think over 50% of my followers are bots with 0 posts, all followed within the last month. Have you all noticed the same? What should be done about it? #asknostr #nostrdev

Whether or not Drivechains are a good design (not sure yet myself), the glaring problem is that it's difficult to understand, and that is incompatible with #Bitcoin imo. Bitcoin shouldn't require a PhD to understand or explain

Who's reading The Sovereign Individual? #nostrbookclub #asknostr

GM, checking into #nostr after a few days offline, and I have 50% new followers out of nowhere - have the bots arrived in full force? 🧐

Really, one "GM" should suffice

If #Bitcoin is the future, we can't have it be transacted mainly through captured devices. Much more freedom tech is required, especially a mobile phone (hardware + software) that doesn't require a PhD to set up

When money won't be able to be insidiously confiscated through inflation, the hope I've heard people express is that governments will curb their expenditures, because taxation is much more visible and highly unpopular. Somewhat agree, but the past few years have shown us that governments are perfectly comfortable carrying out unpopular measures, and the hungry apparatus will likely seek to replace the lost funding through high taxation.

I like the 'Explore' options on @primal, would be great if there was an option to build more custom feeds, such as with a union operator. For example, I would like to have a feed containing both "latest, my follows" and "trending, my network" . @`miljan`

Nobody can kick you off #nostr for posting "bring back the guillotine", it's still a dumb and irresponsible thing to say. Please think about what that means, calling for the public beheading of a specific person. Even if you say it as a joke, how many will read it unironically. I recently read Joe Abercrombie's "The Age of Madness", which plays out a kind of French revolution in the fictional world of the "First Law" trilogy. Excellent and terrifying read, no guillotines but an equally grisly method

What an ideal #Nostr client would enable me to do: I want to be the CEO of my attention span. I want to decide how much attention to give to each npub or feed or whatever other concept we'll come up with. What the UI to my attention span would look like, I don't know exactly, but I have a few ideas. For instance, I would like to be able to specify: - I have mental bandwidth for about 45 minutes of #nostr today - for this list of people, show me everything they post - for this other list of people, show me the highlights, giving each roughly equal screen real estate - mix in 5% of posts from people I don't follow directly (say, the people followed by the people I follow) #nostrdev @jb55 @Kieran @miljan
