The #NoorNote onboarding just got a little simpler and a bit more tailored for Muslims and Christians. I took the whole relay management section out of the onboarding wizard. NoorNote now just picks the best relays for new users automatically, including the right inbox relays for NIP-17 DMs. If someone knows what they’re doing and wants to handle it themselves, they can still do that in the relay settings after onboarding. The choice made during onboarding can always be changed. I also added 2 checkboxes in the bio section for religious affiliation. This only affects which thematic relays get added. If someone selects 'Muslim', it adds noornode.nostr1.com and bitcoinmajlis.nostr1.com. If they select 'Christian', it adds theforest.nostr1.com. [npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl, I hope I got this right that the relay is moderated according to your values]. That’s it. Nothing about this gets published anywhere else, it only impacts relay selection. If you don’t care about it, you can just skip it. I don’t know of any other faith-based thematic relays, but if you do, let me know and I’ll add them the same way.

Yea, we've heard about Upscrolled here. That centralized platform promoting 'free speech' and that got banned by Google Play 😂. No, I'm Nostr-only. I don't go to closed platforms. But thanks.
Closed platforms but not closed minded :)) We don't judge people from being non decentralized, because we realize decentralization is also a deep privilege. Even though we have no Muslim contributors, we believe they are a deeply and wrongly prosecuted people. So, not only do we not judge them (they have worse things to worry about), we're happy they found a place they can call their own. 1) They got banned because #ZionistCancer owns Google and uploaded so much child porn on the app, they got banned. Not their fault. 2) Nostr sucks balls at adoption, tried to get some woke youngsters on it. They spent 30 mins asking me questions and downloading a client, they all deleted it coz it didn't "vibe". Not your thing, no worries, but from a morality and humane perspective, even as our team is Degen, we all agree that Upscrolled folks are 10 times the place Nostr will ever be.
Yeah, old problem. Real sovereignty takes some effort, and a lot of people just aren’t willing to put in the work. The solution isn’t to cater to those people though. Read View article →
