Nostr is like the renegade burn that happened in 2020 & 2021. I hope we don’t see Primal become the BMO but instead have a ton of regional burns. View quoted note →

There’s something which really bothers me about social media platforms downranking or blocking links out of the platform. So much of what made Twitter magical was that it acted as the lead generation to so many other apps and kinds of content. Think clubhouse and only fans, but so many others. The ability to go viral and generate an audience in apps the original platform didn’t build is the magic. It’s so powerful. By limiting linking the platforms are trying to control the user experience to drive more advertising consumption. But in the end what this does create an adversarial relationship between the platform and users.

I was feeling like we weren't looking at the 1984 content reports or doing anything about them. Yeah i know a lot of folks wish content reporting didn't exist, but it does... Anyway, so i made an open labeler in case folks do want to look at and address content reports. This won't take content off of relays and won't remove stuff, but if you do want reports and to manage a relay which takes down content or labels it, you can.

@Ben Arc has done a nice job at updating nostr.com in case anybody hasn't noticed. This is the front door for so many people when they hear about Nostr.

Someone has digitized it, now you can watch it online. I’m curious what folks today, especially the nostr bitcoiners in 2025 think of it.

Medium has been around for so long we might forget it’s important role in the social media ecosystem. @npub1w636...2j7l, CEO of Medium, talked with me about Medium’s evolution, AI, their Reddit like content moderation system, and how they differ from substack.

Sometimes when there isn’t someone speaking up about an injustice then you’ve got to do it yourself. I created stop.b416.nz to try and kickstart a campaign against bringing KYC and age restrictions to social media in Aotearoa New Zealand. There are some groups like @Fight for the Future doing that work in the US. And I’m sure there are nascent efforts in other countries. "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?"
