Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

This can't be solved in a decentralized way, thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Seriously, it can't be done, search is a big data business and that can't be done cheaply, even worse it is a natural monopoly, whatever search engine has the most compute will get the most users and if they advertise they get the most money to get more compute. Nostr users who can't make peace with this will just leave, there is no such thing as decentralized search. View quoted note →

You can't decentralize Twitter, and we said this 100 times, the only thing you can decentralize is storage and identity and maybe small worlds like chat rooms or social games and wiki. The big open forums are bound to be centralized by the most successful clients with big fat aggregating backends, and then they will close their API, unless the data was already stored on sovereign personal data stores.
