Hello Nostr, if you have not read anything by Neil Postman, I highly recommend you do. “Amusing ourselves to death” is such a fantastic read, and I frequently revisit it. Has anyone built an agent on Nostr that doesn’t post, but strictly consumes/navigates to find interesting content, and surfaces it to you? I feel like LLMs can truly be “the great filter” and “the great curator” we need to no longer be inundated with endless feeds.

back after a social break - wtf happened to nostr? is this all because of openclaw?

Nostr devs I need your input on UpScrolled “UpScrolled is now the most downloaded mobile app in the United States! In the last hour it surpassed ChatGPT, Gemini and Threads”. Specifically not built on a protocol (didn’t mention nostr) for performance reasons. Thoughts?

Question for Nostr devs: I’m trying to understand whether a traditional private account model can be built on Nostr using encrypted groups (NIP-EE). I know a lot of people who enjoy using their real name, but not broadcasting everything publicly. Idea: When you “follow” someone, the client is really adding you to one of that user’s encrypted follower-circles. But their posts to that circle appear in your feed; the client just makes the group a feed to mimic the pattern we're used to. Users never see “groups”; they just see a normal follow/feed UI. Is this even possible? Example: A follows B. B follows C & D, but only D follows B back. A should see only what B shares with followers, not everything B sees from C & D. No idea if this could actually be implemented

What is the poverty line? What does it actually mean? And how does the definition distort our view of how bad things truly are for most people? Seems like nobody, other than Mike Green, actually thought to take a look A good read:

happening now on X... this is actually a very similar story of how I ended up here on nostr myself "we're the everything app, the digital town square, but you must abide by our rules or you must gtfo"

Is my understanding of the AT protocol correct if my conclusion is that it's not actually decentralized at all and it's more centralized than things such as email and text messaging?

Even Elon doesn’t understand that the everything app won’t be an app
