So, how are our australians Nostriches doing on shilling Nostr to the youths over there now that the new law is in effect? I was on some australian podcast last week, but it wont be till the end of jan till it comes out so🤷‍♂️

Kind0 are not actual profiles, they are more like contact cards. There is a giant opportunity here, just saying...

Nostr has follows, but it does not have 'friends'; difference being follows are unilateral, and friends are bilateral and require some request-accept procedure. Ideally this happens based on musig2 signatures, but since we also want FROST-bunkers to be a regular thing, we would have to rely on participating in musig via FROST, something the crypto-wizards tell me is technically possible, but are quick to add that it is also unknown if it is secure. That means that we would be in uncharted territory, complicating things. The conclusion will probably be that we will end up with an ugly standard, which breaks my heart, but it is what it is...is it? Anyway, bilateral 'friends' constitute a far better basis for WoT stuff than follows do, so, there is that.

The explicit investment thesis behind the mayor platforms was that by subsidizing its growth, it would undermine competition and eventually result in the capture of network-effect, at which point the masses of users would not have a viable alternative and could be fleeced for the return on investment. "Enshittification" was baked in from the start, and to a large extend the investment thesis was correct. Nevertheless its evil. I have no other word, its deliberate baiting into hazard, and they spend a lot of time and effort into making the bait outmost enticing, conciously. It was the plan to capture us; they have captured us; people finaly seem to feel they have been captured. Time to free ourselves. Nostr View quoted note →
