@sun @BeedleDave did peesonator go down now that alex is on nostr

@wowaname @BeedleDave it hasn't been working right for a long time, I haven't been able to follow people for months.

@sun @BeedleDave never go full vegan

@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.

@xianc78 @wowaname @BeedleDave I don't blame him at all for following the money and influence but he wasn't blameless in those conflicts.

@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.

@xianc78 @sun @wowaname @BeedleDave 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 don't think Nostr has much of a future (every similar project has resulted in CP flooding) but if it's a better fit for him, then good for him.

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.

@xianc78 @mrsaturday @wowaname @BeedleDave the last several weeks nostr is undergoing unstoppable spam because it takes a microsecond to make a new decentralized account and rotate and spam from another

@sun @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday
>unstoppable spam
many such cases, just another day online.
>email
>usenet
>irc
>xmpp
>mediawiki and wordpress sites everywhere

@wowaname @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday every one of those things has a cost barrier to creating new accounts but on nostr there is zero, every id is literally just 40 random bytes

@sun @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday
>cost barrier
>irc
NICK and USER are free, bro

@wowaname @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday they can IP ban you

@sun @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday so can 4chan, that never stopped anyone. technically nostr relays can do the same.

@wowaname @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday I don't know what you are getting at because in any case it's orders of magnitude easier on Nostr to spam the fuck out of the network, and it's even currently being done and nobody has effectively done anything about it yet.

@sun @xianc78 @BeedleDave @mrsaturday quite simply i'm getting at the fact that spam can and will happen on *any* publicly-accessible network, regardless how many protections you think are up. the only things that alleviate this are whitelisting, f2f, or invite-only networks.

@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.
