The most-needed tags I know of off the top of my head, for a nostr tagging system. What others are needed? #asknostr Tags people would tag by hand: * Verified human For npubs you have met face to face. Timestamped at time of verification. Used as a whitelist to filter bots. * Trusted tagger For npubs you trust not to abuse the tagging system. Could implement as a 0-100 score, or a priority list, instead of binary (this would also work for some other tags). * Do not trust tagger For npubs you've seen egregiously abusing the tagging system. * Trusted truster For npubs you trust to select other good npubs to trust. * Promotes scam(s) For posts or npubs that promote scams. * Clear future prediction For a post like "1 Bitcoin will be x USD on y date." * Unclear/unresolvable/implied future prediction For a post like "I think Bitcoin is done going down, but it can always surprise me." * Correct prediction Self-explanatory. * Incorrect prediction Self-explanatory. * Unclear/unresolved past prediction The timeframe has passed, but the prediction or outcome was too unclear to make a verdict. * Humanoid spam For people injecting topics everywhere, but not literally botspamming. A perfect example is me constantly talking about the need for a tagging system on nostr. * Ad spam Self-explanatory. * Flood spam Posts where the goal is just to attack a space (like a hashtag or reply section) and "clog" it. * Gaslighting Posts where the author attempts gaslighting. * Discussion abandonment Posts with replies the author has ignored, without good reason. Automatic tags, clients would add systematically: * Npub has a lighting address * Npub's number of human verification tags from trusted taggers and their trusted taggers * Npub's number of scam promotions, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers * Npub's numbers of each type of prediction tag, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers * Npub is a humanoid spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust] * Npub is an ad spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust] * Npub is a flood spammer, according to [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust] * Npub was accused of gaslighting by [other npub, prioritizing closest in web of trust] * Npub's number of discussions abandoned, according to trusted taggers and their trusted taggers

@Jumble (and other clients) would rather fuck up nostr with shit like "event kind 34236" instead of adding missing essentials View quoted note →

There is still no client with all of the following vital basic features a dev could probably add all 3 of in a single day: * Warning label on lightning addresses and npubs that have them, with explanation of how lightning suppresses Bitcoin's value * Full support for payment target lists * HTML noscript element suggesting njump.me / nostr.at for non-javascript visitors (jumble has this)

It is not good to encourage other devs to obfuscate functionality. It is not good to promote pointless complexity against new devs that want to develop nostr clients. It is not good to promote shit that confuses users, and leads to unneeded instances of questions like "why can't I see this video in this client?"

When a nostr client adds support for a pointless new "event kind" that should just be kind 1, it shows the dev is either gullible or a piece of shit. It's like how they all include "lightning" functionality without even warning users about the harm to Bitcoin's value. Take @Jumble supporting Divine's "kind 34236" for example. There's zero reason for that to exist, as opposed to just adding a "divine" tag on kind 1 events. But the Jumble devs don't care about censorship resistance, they want to be part of a "special club" of people that control other people's user experience, so they support added complexity to confuse users, and make it more complicated for anyone else to try to develop better nostr clients. None of this is surprising, of course. As I mentioned, it's just a continuation of the Lightning thing. The glowing is obvious as fuck, that's why these people are called "glowies."

Reminder: * Climate change is probably not a strong enough weapon to make the world extinct. * Nuclear arsenals might also not be strong enough to make the world extinct. * It takes both. The suicide cultists are using climate change AND nuclear arsenals to attempt global extinction. That's very difficult to beat.

Dr. Abu Safiya is still in Israeli prison. What are you doing about it?

This turtle acted stuck, so after taking this video, I threw a piece of watermelon in the water to move the leaf it was on with the splash. If you pause the video on the one right frame near the end, there's a dragonfly that flew in front of the camera too.

Saw some turtles the other day. #picstr #turtlestr

There's zero chance the new Spider-Man Noir TV series will be good. There's zero chance current-day Disney will allow a good adaptation of source material that mentions things like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. They don't even allow Spider-Man Noir comics to be good anymore, let alone something that can reach as wide of an audience as a TV series. At least the next Spider-Verse movie is in the hands of Sony, not Disney. We'll see if that's allowed to be good.

Divine is retarded, nostr still has no viable YouTube competitor, and videos I put far more production into than anything on Divine still get no engagement when I post them on nostr before YouTube.
