For a more relativistic approach, built on nostr, see wikifreedia.xyz, which allows everyone to maintain their own version of any article, fork, vote, and merge as needed.

Rule #7: Use a social media platform that lets you own your identity and social graph. Social media has certain benefits that your own website doesn't. Public key cryptography, self-hosted servers, and an open protocol make it possible

https://coracle.social is the one I work on, and I think it's pretty good. It does more to surface relays as a first-class thing than most.

https://coracle.social is the client I work on. It's less well-known, but is pretty feature-complete.

Bitcoin is carbon-negative believe it or not. Not that CO2 emissions are a meaningful measure of environmental stewardship.

Scale is hard, but for small-to-medium sized clusters, you can use your own node, or a friends'. Now you have your own copy of the data, and control over latency. The key insight with nostr is the multi-master architecture.

Relays can censor as much as they want, since they're only stewrding a small part of the network, likely replicated elsewhere. As to building in ways to curate/moderate content in a distributed way, there are lots of ideas out the

If you implement soft delete, you should surface it to your user. That's who is accidentally deleting things, and that's who will want to un-delete them. As for side effects like spinning up/down servers, build that into your

I run one, it's quite easy and reasonably cheap. I admit the main value prop is feeling smug about your opsec, but the self-sovereignty thesis and culture of bitcoin are genuinely important. A small minority of people (nerds) running t

This is the kind of thing HN is for. That's not to say it's not also great at incubating overly-pedantic technocratic bikeshedding of computing minutiae, which has its place. Don't ever change, HN.

It's accessible by tor because it's primarily a bitcoin/lightning node. If you're not interested in that core value prop, umbrel isn't for you.

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard, from a competition standpoint, from a censorship standpoint, from an innovation standpoint, just... oof.

This is correct with the additional caveat that the pill also thins the uterine lining, making it difficult for the embryo to implant in the rare event of fertilization. So for people concerned about avoiding an abortion, the pill rarely, b

Comment/like ratios are a great way to handle this already. It makes up/downvote incentive asymmetric, which makes getting ratio'd high signal.

Can I run my own node? If not, then I don't care (although a forum interface would I think be vastly superior to the usual news feed interface). Edit: this is not meant to be dismissive, it's just that the main problem with social

Yes, but I think it's elastic compute that's down, which hosts a lot of AWS and Heroku's own infrastructure, hence the large blast radius.
