@wowaname @BeedleDave @sun Can you really blame him for leaving the Fedi. Here, he gets cancelled by Pleroma and Akkoma devs, and dogpiled by Poast users. Meanwhile, the Nostr community embraces him with open arms and he got to go to Nostr conventions because of it.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave I honestly don't know the full extent of those conflicts as I was never a dev for any Fedi software nor an instance owner/admin.
But as someone who has experienced both networks, Nostr seems to align more with the vision he had for the fedi.

>His vision for Fedi wasn't realistic and he was a divisive figure that set development back with his "my way or the highway" take on things.
I'd argue that his vision for the Fedi could've had a chance if Gab didn't defederate and other alt-tech sites decided to implement federation shortly after.
>I don't think Nostr has much of a future (every similar project has resulted in CP flooding)
Nostr doesn't have a CP problem. Node admins can moderate their own nodes and blacklist users from posting on said nodes. It's not like ZeroNet where everyone risks hosting cheese pizza. Don't listen to false accusations from Poast users.

many such cases, just another day online.

@sun @wowaname @xianc78 @mrsaturday I mean the blockchain can only hold only so much child porn
@lebronjames75 @wowaname @xianc78 @mrsaturday @sun lmao
imagine this is your first interaction on here.
poor guy
@VD15 @wowaname @mrsaturday @sun Nostr isn't blockchain based. It supports Bitcoin donations, but it uses a different way to store accounts, and messages.
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun Bastyon/PocketNet uses community moderation where users with a high enough reputation can flag certain content. If a post gets enough flags then it will be hidden for all users. The problem with that is that Bastyon not only asks high-ranked users to flag illegal content but porn in general as well.
By the way, don't bother using Bastyon because I don't know how truly decentalized it is and even then, virtually all images on the network are hosted externally on Imgur.
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun I never used Reddit so I wouldn't even know.
They said that they didn't want porn because they don't want it to be something like many of the loli instances on here where people post nothing but porn and immediately destroy the reputation of the network.
nonsense, it purely enhances reputation
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun >reddit news
Oh you mean HackerNews?
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun Never cared about that either. All I know is that it's full of NPCs and it blacklists a lot of links like @djsumdog's website.
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun Never said it was a good thing. I actually hate the idea of it.
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday Just for the record here is what the Nostr public timeline looks like for me right now. No spam, and I connect to every relay that I can.
@wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday @sun Doesn't 4chan go out of it's way to block every VPN, proxy, and Tor exit node under the sun?
4chan got gay with Tor....can't make images bigger for example wihtout captcha...Mullvad works good to view posts
@sun @wowaname @BeedleDave @mrsaturday I have yet to encounter any spam or CP on Nostr, outside of that reply-bot (or whatever it was called), and I think whoever was behind that bot spam intentionally did it because they hated the fedi bridges.
It stopped now, one was a researcher and shared his code, T he other, who knows
They don't moderate their servers though! I even reported primal.net for not taking down CSAM and nothing happened. I was the only one that cared about CSAM there.
And the relay software is so shitty that it is a big hassle to remove csam from your server. You have to dump the entire DB and delete it, then reimport everything
