Can you expand on the Nostr problems? Honest question. I mostly see it trying to offer another (architecturally better and robust to censorship) mechanism for group communication.
I think (hope, TBH) that Nostr can fill the niche of the Usenet of the past where some groups did slide into obnoxiousness but others maintained intelligent and thoughtful discussions for many years. My 2c.
- ethbr1 2y agoI always liked the reddit post-scarcity solution to this -- make it as easy as possible to fork / start a new community. Users will vote with their feet. What was required to start a new usenet domain? (a bit before my time)
- floren 2y ago> What was required to start a new usenet domain? Assuming you mean a new newsgroup (discussion forum for a single topic e.g. comp.lang.lisp): - If you wanted it in the Big 8 hierarchy, you had to campaign for it and get support and prove it would have traffic. - If you wanted it in alt.*, you just posted a control message (and then everyone ignored your group) Or you could make your own hierarchy but it's up to each individual server which hierarchies they carry.
