How does #nostr deal with spam? #asknostr

I dont know why but I hate the word "influencer". It sounds too cheap. "Influential" is a better word. These days everyone has to coin new terms to sound cool. So innovative. Not.

This is an awesome map of #github. It scales well in low end devices as well.

Recently, I was looking for a casual mobile #game to kill time during boring #office meetings. 2048 was my earlier go-to. This time I wanted to try something just a tiny bit harder. Instead of Play Store, I tried f-droid this time. To my surprise, there's an entire games category and, at time time, there are 461 "games". Some of these are real gems. #Unciv is a bit complicated and has a somewhat steep learnijg curve, but perhaps the most popular of the lot. Then, there are sudoku and minesweeper games which require far more concentration than what I can allot during a meeting. Among the word-puzzle games, there are Wordle games too. Unfortunately my smol brain never quite grasped its objective. Finally, I tried Lexica.

It's a time-bound word finding game that has excellent integration with dictionaries and packs several different languages. It also offers various game modes that offer a little relaxing experience to the player. Happy word-hunting!

There are essentially three stages of knowledge. 1. I dont know anything. 2. I know everything. 3. I dont know anything. The goal is to attain the third stage. #drunk

We are the fruit of millions of years of evolution. Whatever you are feeling, someone has felt it years ago. So dont worry, it's just okay. Keep calm and enjoy. #drunk

Initial thoughts on #Nostr: 1. The key based sign-up is absolutely amazing. It packs more freedom than anything I have used recently. 2. Truly decentralised. Doesnt tie with a single server. Unlike fediverse. Yes, fediverse does let you post to other networks but you have to sign up _somewhere_ and if that server goes offline, go figure. 3. I am most excited about relay-based forwarding. This not only solves the problem of censorship and bans, but also solves the message silo problems introduced in Mastodon. However, as a #relay gets more popular, it can misuse and abuse its power. I cant see this happening anytime soon since most people here on #nostr gives a damn about the relays they are using. 4. Mobile clients are somewhat usable. I am using #Amethyst and tried #Plebstr earlier. Amethyst seems to pack some additional features that Plebstr didnt have. 5. Lots of people are using it. Which is good. But whether they stay is the real question. Fediverse initially saw thousands of people using it. But most lost interest in later stages. 6. However, data is not owned by the users. This may not be a problem with most users, but thats not something I personally like to see. 7. It's also good to see there is no character limit. Twitter, by design, unleashed a huge menace on public by limiting characters. Short form writing is good in certain cases, but when someone gets addicted to it, their thoughts get a little shallow imo. 8. Lack of algorithms is refreshing. I dont want to see text from a month ago because it got "promoted". 9. This platform needs some traction from influential people. Good to know Jack Dorsey funding the project. Lets just hope mainstream media does its job and makes some headlines.
