What happened to the HackerNews bot? I miss him

Day 2 after muting the words that should not be named: It's been very pleasant. I've seen art, tech, culture and discussions about day-to-day stuff. Some stuff that should be muted still gets through because it's text in jpeg memes, but it's fine. My feed is much much thinner, which is a good thing. Less time wasted on social media is much healthier. Lastly, muting all that stuff causes me to get less angry and enter meaningless pointless discussions. I'll keep the filters for now!

Next I want to mute quotes that just add an emoji before the quoted note. Technology will get there eventually 🤞

Ok it turns out muting "nostr" absolutely breaks it in non-expected ways. Notes containing nostr.build url images get muted and any note quoting also causes a mute since it includes the "nostr:" uri string. @Vitor Pamplona pls mi familia

I love the smell of self-censorship in the morning

I might just keyword mute "nostr" and see what happens

#git confession: I work without a local master/main branch

Any clients that do temporary mutes? Muting someone forever is kinda harsh when you just want to do feed curation. And then I just forget I muted them.

I remember reading somewhere that perfect competition under a free market was not really stable nor desirable. This is because it causes profit margins to tend to 0 which has 2 negative effects: * makes companies more fragile to externalities * does not allow companies to accumulate treasuries that enable them to do research, innovate, take risks, etc The end result is a stale stagnated balkanized economy. The corollary is that some market imbalances and assymetries are healthy. Anyone knows where this reasoning comes from? Did I dream it up?
