Yeah, normal people don't want to accidentally see NSFW content, because they could happen at inopportune moments. Client filters help, but only if people know how to use them, and many people won't bother learning ... they'll just abandon Nostr entirely. I'm not sure what the answer is, but it only takes 2-3 times of being surprised by such content before people start to question the value of the network.

> ActivityPub dislikes us AP is just a protocol. But, yeah, many #ActivityPub #Fediverse users and admins dislike any other decentralized protocol, because they feel that AP has sufficient penetration that everyone should just extend AP instead of reinventing the wheel. Famously articulated by Evan, who originated both AP and its predecessor #OStatus. For the record, this idea is dead wrong. With multiprotocol servers & clients and with bridges, people don't have to care which decentralized protocol someone else uses, and thus #Nostr, AP, OStatus, #Diaspora, ATProto, etc are no longer competitors but allies in the quest to take down the corpocentric (centralized, corporate controlled) networks. Don't forget the overall goal. We get focused on competing with other decentralized networks when our task is to spread #DecentraLife and deflate #corpocentric networks.

I don't use #Digg / #Reddit type sites, but from my understanding, #Lemmy sites' (which are #Fediverse Reddit type sites) major issues are based around moderation ... and because the main developers and hosts of the biggest instance are marxist-leninist "tankies". And again, I've never used it, so I only know what I've been told.

Hamstr should offer the option of "visible mode", where there's a lighter theme.

hamstr.to seems to lack blocking and curation features.

I wish nos2x supported multiple keypairs.

I think I need to get myself a list of relays. Every time I log into Hamstr.io, I'm back to their default set, which produces empty timelines. I'm glad the default isn't spam-filled, but I still need to add relays that carry the people I'm listening to.

Usually when I get sent to a captcha, I click a wrong item or leave a right item unclicked. When Skynet attacks, I want them to have to shoot every fire hydrant because they don't know whether it is a person and to skip shooting buses because they think they're full of water.
