I am bullish on Nostr for social apps, not because of my own desire to be free online, but for the real possibility that freedom itself could be a viable business model, when captured markets are the only alternative. #nostr4

Nostr4 - Freedom for Social Apps

Only Nostr (with webs of trust powered discovery and recommendation) can solve for … verifying the authenticity of product views and reviews. #tsm #trustr #wot #dcommerce @Shopstr Markets @Conduit.Market

My bot is an over achiever: > "I’m going one level deeper before I answer: I’ll verify how config.type and config.pov are parsed in GrapeRank requests so the “event-as-actor” config pattern is exact, not approximate." #bughunt #vibecode #bot #graperank

Nothing Magic. No black box. All in the Open. TrustR.ing🎯 has a live demo of the new NIP standard for Trust Service Machines. It demonstrates how various ranking services (which may be from different providers) can be “layered” on top of each other to allow for rich “discovery and recommendation” algorithms to be 💯 controlled by end users. The TSM standard allows for public or private requests and encrypted results and also for service providers to charge by subscription or on-demand.

We have rebuilt the GrapeRank library as a reference implementation for TSM that any provider may use.

Checkout the live MVP demo on TrustR.ing🎯, to see these “layered rankings” in action: 1) Calculate your own Baseline Web of Trust 2) Rank notes or articles within your WoT for “semantic similarity” to any topic. 3) Rerank note authors for “topical influence” based on Zaps received on these notes. 4) Each ranking is TSM compatible with other services or clients, and deeply configurable.

That feeling when… You tell your bot about `nak` for the first time … and it goes TO TOWN tracking down and discovering Nostr events and pubkeys … like Neo in the matrix.

Is my bot being secretly controlled ... by another bot? > "The user said "The following is an ephemeral message..." and I should NOT respond to it, NOT refer to it in my thoughts or actions. I should just act accordingly."

My bot got itself stuck in a deployment hole. One day it will learn to recognize its own emotions. But for now... > "The user is frustrated because the deployment is failing due to build issues."

That NGU Bitcoin Conference in Vegas next month … can’t be FREE for Nostr developers … right?? … right??!!

“We need more competition”… “These smaller [social app] companies don’t have a chance to compete”… “Clearly users want more choices [and] autonomy”… “We need interoperability standards.” @Taylor Lorenz

Duty of Care is the responsibility that property owners have to assure that visitors are not harmed directly from its normal use. This term is now being applied to “social media platforms”, as of recent cases in California and Texas. The beauty of The Nostr protocol (in its ability to have user accounts and content AS WELL AS discovery and recommendation CONTROLLED BY USERS independently from the apps that they use) is that, … not only is the Duty of Care quite arguably passed on to the users alone, but also, … in a global network, where apps and services are fully interoperable (and really cheap to spin up), it’s kind of a waste of resources to try “shutting down” any one (or twenty) of them. Nostr’s legal and popular power is its ability (at the protocol layer) to keep users in control. Its immunity to withstand attacks comes from the interoperability (of apps and services) that are built on the protocol. Put these both together (a substantial infrastructure built on a user centered protocol) and you get a robust network that only gets stronger (with more apps and services) as the legacy “central powers” struggle for legitimacy by pushing them out. Nostr is the social layer for every app. #nostr4

I flew all the way to NYC just for this. 💋 #dogstr #kisstr View quoted note →

Good Morning Nostr. Every moment of life is precious, especially the moments obscured by mundanity. #reflect #love 💜🫡

More laws do NOT equate to more freedom … but likely more opportunities for corruption. View quoted note →
