Last Notes npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble This is what it’s like trying to get a normal person to use bitcoin. Blocks at the banking level and inability to work with how they normally interact with money really do matter. https://i.nostr.build/clh41cTqCR1ClP06.jpg npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble For folks who are confused about how I used the commons to describe what Bitcoin or Nostr are might find this podcast episode I did where David Bollier interviewed me. https://fountain.fm/episode/tTU3ohMY3Hsj89tbpeZ6 #nevent1q…emkh npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Do you know what a commons is? It's an economic resource that's managed by it's participants and is not owned privately by an individual or corporation or the state. Protocols are commons, bitcoin is a commons. When a community wants to organize itself, it might decide between private ownership and state control. David Bollier has spent decades arguing that that’s a false binary, and that there is a better way: The commons. "The commons is as old as humanity," David says. "It's kind of the default setting for coordination and governance. It's just in the past 200 years or so, we've tricked ourselves into thinking that we're isolated individuals and that the social context and the Earth is irrelevant." In this week's episode of revolution.social, i sit down with leading researcher and author about the commons, David Bollier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5nZU5cHhC4 https://fountain.fm/episode/SXI6pTtXZpwYPM0PSzRi npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Content Moderation Is Impossible At Scale - The @nprofile…vjxm Impossibility Theorem of Content Moderation I think a bunch of folks here might not know about this internet 'law' but it does feel like Nostr folks might agree with this. https://www.techdirt.com/2019/11/20/masnicks-impossibility-theorem-content-moderation-scale-is-impossible-to-do-well/ npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Today i interviewed @nprofile…2nqc for my podcast, it needs to be edited and will be published in a couple of weeks. But some of what we talked about was exciting and new to me, so i figured i'd share it. Harper built a social media network for his AI coding agents to talk to each other and it had a big positive impact on the quality of their work! https://2389.ai/posts/agents-discover-subtweeting-solve-problems-faster/ He even co-authored a paper about how they're doing it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.13547 Wasn't @nprofile…478g experimenting with things like this? npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Too many bitcoiners think that critiques of the money system has to be from the right. I don't know much about these folks, but i find it interesting when i do find projects like: https://moneyontheleft.org/ Plus of course everything David Graeber wrote and said... ;-D npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble It would be cool if someone from Nostr got this fellowship. New_Public does really good work researching and advocating for social media protocols. https://newpublicorg.applytojob.com/apply/7NdtTpX328/Social-Media-Fellow npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble A friend of mine, was a member of parliament in Iceland from the Pirate Party, he used to joke that Iceland should pass a law forcing Facebook to respect Icelandic values in what the moderate. Allowing sex and nudity on public content for all and restricting violence and horror. As far as I know it never got beyond a joke. In theory he was in a position to do something about it but I doubt it would have been adopted as a law. He ended up getting sent around the world as a parliamentary representative for EFTA, the mini-EU alternative bloc of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble The internet is weird, youtube analytics say that one of the most popular youtube channels of people who watch revolution.social is a true crime series in the Mizo language. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuajV8FLWvX82RvrFznTe2w I had to google Mizo, it's not even a language i've ever heard of! Turns out it's in the same language family as Tibetan and is spoken in the hill country of far eastern Indian and northern Burma. This has to be some weird content farming or something. I have no idea. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble It's been a while since i proposed a change to a nip, but I'm working on a short form video app, soon i'll ask for beta testers... As part of that I wanted an event kind which was like kind 22, a nip-71 short form video event, but where it's addressable and i can update it. Turns out @nprofile…pt5w already added support for this in Amethyst has this functionality, but it wasn't a in the NIP. So now here's the nip proposal. Take a look. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/2072 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble On Revolution.Social this week i talked to Blacksky founder Rudy Fraser. He talks about building on the ATprotocol but without being controlled by the Bluesky company. They run their own moderation, algorithms, identity servers, hosts (PDS), and are building an entire alt tech stack called rsky. But what's most interesting to the Nostr and Bitcoin community is in this conversation we talk a lot about how to fix the money. We talk about needing to build an alternative financial system which is not owned or controlled by the state or corporations. We talk about the role of mutual aid in social change and building a future society we want to live in. And we talk about Cashu and how we're exploring bringing it in to the ATmosphere (how the they talk about the ATprotocol ecosystem beyond just bluesky). It was a fascinating conversation, and i really hope that Nostr Bitcoiners take a listen as this is a conversation about permissionless protocols and freedom money which is very different from what we normally hear in bitcoin circles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA1DutGDVcs&list=PLklPNPs42pgA3IImetDMeQ3kflBrOqwr7 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble My friend Alaa, a hacker and activist who's been in jail in Egypt for over a decade has finally been freed! He was arrested for organizing pro-democracy protests and being the hacker who setup all the websites for the movements. Many years of campaigning and hunger strikes were required to get him out. His son went from a tiny baby to a teenager while he sat in an Egyptian prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaa_Abd_El-Fattah npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble No me just playing around in my new inflatable unicorn costume on my deck at home. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I think it's better than centralized and controlled by the company. little steps... npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I agree, they made choices that worked and they were able to onboard a large user community. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble it's not supported by any apps and is kind of parallel to nip-05.... Tech adoption is only a little bit the tech itself... it's a lot of the social work of getting something working. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Yep, it's me.... here's a video of what it's like inside of these costumes.. https://v.nostr.build/lv921CelfEKcPd9R.mov npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Well originally PLC stood for placeholder but when it stuck they renamed it "Public Ledger of Credentials". At least they're not moving it to an independent organization. Not perfect, but a step in the right direction. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Bluesky the company is spinning off the the name system, DID:PLC in to an independent swiss association. https://web.plc.directory/ https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org This is a good step, the name system should not be owned by the company. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Pole dancing in a giant 3 meter tall inflatable unicorn costume is really hard. https://v.nostr.build/8clR97GOkKYRya5X.mp4 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I can’t reach the end of both arms at the same time it’s so big. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I don’t think you know what that word democracy means. You seem to be confusing the state which you see to love, with the system by which it’s controlled. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble @npub1nl8…f9d0 oh some women get really enthusiastic. https://v.nostr.build/GIffqKotSmHLSlvm.mp4 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Well I’m not doing it for work or representing any brand. I can throw punches back. Usually the issue is drunk guys hitting me and women trying to grind too hard against the cat. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble @npub1hmm…uy2s that kind of makes sense. So much of strong man politics, caudillismo in Spanish, is about group identity and the desire to have a sense of belonging and there is a single father figure who will make it all ok. And one way to unify the group is to pick scapegoats who can be blamed for what’s wrong in people’s lives. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I think I’ll need to work with the factory to get a purple ostrich. It’d be great to take to conferences to promote Nostr. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Earlier this year I discovered these inflatable off brand mascot costumes and started taking them to raves and festivals. First a cat, then a bear, and now I’ve got a unicorn. The way people react is magical, hugs, delight, and general whimsy. Given how really affordable the costumes are and how much people like them I’m surprised other people aren’t doing this. https://v.nostr.build/mQV2QoH6Fv9zfwRM.mp4 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble You can distrust the existing liberal democracies but to then advocate for authoritarianism is not anti-institutionalism. It is in fact wishing the state had even more power. It’s like, “hey this system isn’t working great, what if we gave it more power and less accountability, that’ll make it all better.” npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Is that *the* salvia?! npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble So just in case folks think I complain too much, here’s a video of me walking in to #burningman in a giant inflatable teddy bear suit. https://v.nostr.build/neq0MWTaYje3pQ9l.mp4 npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Yes definitely. It wasn’t universal at all. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I’m genuinely confused at how many people on Nostr are weirdly authoritarian. I mean it’s a permissionless decentralised social protocol. You’d think people who used it would not be enthusiastic nationalists who believed in an authoritarian state. It’s like bitcoiners who are excited about the US government integrating bitcoin in to the central banking and federal reserve system. The entire point of bitcoin was to create a financial system in opposition to Wall Street and central banks. It confuses me. I also get confused leftists who think the solution is to deplatform people they oppose, but thankfully the “delete their account” folks aren’t much on Nostr. It’s the right leaning authoritarianism here which confuses me. #note1szv…9xhl npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble @nprofile…2dvw I mean we could fix that! https://github.com/YakiHonne it's open source. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I think we should pay more attention to what @nprofile…5tzc and the yakihonne folks have done. It's a fantastic app that works really well. They've explored and moved around a bunch over the last couple of years, but they've also made yakihonne really solid. I notice that i'm shifting to using it as my go to app, which is funny, because i love my own nos.social, but on my desktop, yakihonne web just works. Because they're based in Asia i think a lot of western nostr users don't think about YakiHonne, but I think we should celebrate it more. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble JD Vance says the US government will investigating opposition organizations. If they start revoking the legal status and seizing bank accounts of opposition non-profits then this represents a fundamental threat to the ongoing operation and viability of an open democratic society. They're going to crackdown by revoking articles of incorporation, tax exempt non-profit status, and then go after the bank accounts. Charlie Kirk's assassination was just an excuse they've been waiting for, if it wasn't him they'd have found another excuse. This is what happened in Hungary, Turkey, and Russia. Authoritarian democracies take and hold power by taking the money away from an organized opposition. https://archive.is/KIGjp npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Wasn't CSAM put in the bitcoin blockchain like almost from the beginning? npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Ok bitcoiners, can somebody explain to me or give me a pointer to what the hell is going on with Knots vs Core? To somebody who is not really aware of the personalities.... I get that it is about "Core’s planned removal of the 80-byte limit for OP_RETURN data." But what is it really about? npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Oh my this guy has a naming problem. https://iammarkzuckerberg.com npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble @npub1xts…kk5s don’t you run a notification server that crawls the network and also one of the largest relays. I think we need either extensions to relays or a new kind of aggregate data server in Nostr plus some changes to the nips to make changes and sets of data, etc…. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble In Bluesky the app is really located on the server and the client is just a view. This is more like how traditional clould apps works as opposed to how Nostr works with its thin server and thick client. Honestly the Nostr model is struggling. We see it with all the server stuff you need that apps like yakihonne, primal, Damus, and nos do. In order for the client to be fast, get aggregated data like reaction counts and follower calculations, most importantly notifications. #note1n6y…sw8s npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I had to ask my very online kids who hang out on 4chan and discord in order to explain groypers. Turns out I’m not the only one trying to understand this subculture, it was trending on TikTok until the platform banned the term. #tiktok #groyper https://i.nostr.build/fDPdd8qrIp4N8oFF.jpg npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Anybody else having issues with primal web notifications loading? npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble My kids tell me that i need to do video essays and not just interviews for my revolution.social podcast to take off... what do people think? Should i take a try? They also say that I work on 'boring social media apps' but that's them just being teenagers i think. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I've had a LOT of conversations with people about Nostr, really people who are aware of Nostr but don't use it. There are a few things that come up. * General admiration for Nostr and how it does tons of interesting things in terms of tech. It's way more flexible than ATprotocol or ActivityPub. * Frustration with the way user accounts / logins / keys work. It's very confusing if you're not somebody who already understands crypto. Mostly it's confusing because of how we talk about it. If we tell people, here's your magic user text, paste this in places and you'll be magically logged in, they love it. If we try and explain custody and wallets and keys and browser extensions and all the ways you can login with Nostr, their eyes glaze over. * Not feeling like it's a place for them. Everybody is talking about Bitcoin and Nostr. Most folks don't care very much about the underlying tools or how payments work. They want to talk about their interests, surfing, food, travel, their friends. or ten million other things. They see Nostr as a bitcoin place. Most people have either no opinion or a negative opinion of bitcoin because somebody tried to evangelize it too hard. * Zaps, folks love zaps. I've heard from board members and the executives of Bluesky that they want zaps. Folks don't like bitcoin and bitcoin content but they do want the functionality. The problem is when creators come to Nostr, they only get zaps for content that is about nostr or bitcoin. There's no good way to build and sustain themselves with other content. * Algorithms - we all have a love hate relationship with algorithms. We say we don't want them, but we choose to use systems with algorithms. We have them in nostr with DVM's and it works. But it's not well integrated in to the apps and most feed services via DVM's are way too slow. The algorithm helps people be seen, grow an audience, find their people, keep being engaged. We built the proof of concept but didn't make it in to a good product. These things that keep people from Nostr are fixable. What i'm going at with my podcast is to build a larger movement, Nostr is a solution, but people on Nostr aren't my intended audience. ;-D npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Ah. Good. The risk of posting before my second cup of coffee in the morning. :)))) npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble You can zap me. I am not trying to sell Nostr in these interviews. I bring it up when it makes sense. I think if we can build the movement for permissionless social protocols. And critiquing projects that don’t fulfill the rights we should be demanding as I laid out in rights.social. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble This is what happens when you see that someone publishes a 1984 report on amethyst? This is really hostile. You know Google and Apple require reporting. Doing it in a decentralized web of trust ways is the the open solution. Instead of explaining how reports and trust and safety works in a permissionless network, you’re inciting people to harass and attack the people who use this feature. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble We didn’t talk about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Latest episode of revolution.social is out. I sat down with author, technologist, and activist @npub1yxz…5qvv. We talked about open social protocols, critiques of Bluesky, the role of science fiction in social change, and the future we’re trying to build. On Fountian: https://fountain.fm/episode/ZC14pZCfaUOsVsRerMGX On YouTube: https://youtu.be/exvpetQRSVo If you can, the viewer numbers on YouTube help me build an audience.

This is from the protests in Nepal against corruption and the ban of social media in the country. https://i.nostr.build/1zmPLUUJeRcYBNB7.jpg npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Yep.

So much of what made Twitter magical was that it acted as the lead generation to so many other apps and kinds of content. Think clubhouse and only fans, but so many others. The ability to go viral and generate an audience in apps the original platform didn’t build is the magic. It’s so powerful. By limiting linking the platforms are trying to control the user experience to drive more advertising consumption. But in the end what this does create an adversarial relationship between the platform and users. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I was feeling like we weren't looking at the 1984 content reports or doing anything about them. Yeah i know a lot of folks wish content reporting didn't exist, but it does... Anyway, so i made an open labeler in case folks do want to look at and address content reports. This won't take content off of relays and won't remove stuff, but if you do want reports and to manage a relay which takes down content or labels it, you can. https://faro.nos.social/ https://github.com/rabble/faro npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I had a call which didn't happen but my AI note taker tried really hard to make good notes out of it. ### Transcript Quality Issue - Recording appears to be corrupted or garbled - Contains random fragments, snippets of conversations, jokes, and unrelated audio clips - No coherent business discussion between Rabble and ********* identifiable - Multiple overlapping voices discussing restaurants, personal anecdotes, and random topics ### Meeting Content - Unable to extract meaningful business conversation - Transcript shows signs of audio processing errors or recording malfunction - No discernible discussion points related to the company or professional topics - Raw notes indicate “No summary” - consistent with transcript quality ### Technical Recommendation - Consider re-recording or using alternative recording method - Check audio input settings and microphone configuration - Ensure proper meeting room acoustics for future sessions ### Next Steps - Schedule follow-up meeting with ******* - Test recording equipment before next session - Confirm all participants can be heard clearly npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble @nprofile…2e5q has done a nice job at updating nostr.com in case anybody hasn't noticed.

I believe they push the events you publish out the all the relays in your list but reads from the one centralized caching relay. I think it’s fine as long as it’s your keys and you can use other apps. Some folks think it’s not in the spirit of Nostr. npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble What are other nostr app developers and relay operators doing with regard to the UK Online Services Act? Apparently there is no legal exception for open source or apps that are not connecting to servers you control or apps that are entirely encrypted and peer to peer. Basically they want us to KYC anyone they think might be based in the UK, and implement content filters. There seems to be no way to be in compliance in Nostr without limiting all connections to a single gateway relay the way Primal does, and with geo location, including blocking tor and vpn connections, and content analysis of all text and media. Basically insanity which is completely counter to the entire Nostr project. I knew there was some of OSA coming but I hadn’t paid attention to it. None of us want to KYC our users or build a content filtering system. I mean how do we know if a post is about a knife? Yes we can’t have content about knives! Or how do we determine who considers content hateful? https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/online-safety/information-for-industry/illegal-harms/illegal-content-codes-of-practice-for-user-to-user-services.pdf?v=391681 What are Nostr devs based in the UK doing?

This reminds me of when people said the same thing about email, the web, and mobile phones. Eventually the naysayers will be ignored and everybody will move on. The very idea that we would consider developing software without agents and LLM's. Just like the idea of doing business without a mobile phone or email or even computer seems insane. https://ashtom.github.io/developers-reinvented npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble Yum! https://blossom.primal.net/026783553c357702a5d053abfdb6ed4e64db93f84c908490dd5fffbfc7629a39.jpg npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 rabble I’ve been coming to the Dutch / German hacker camps for 24 years now.
