Yesterday i was monitoring the twitter thread of the announcement of Buzz, and i noticed there atleast start-ups that realized they were r3kt because Buzz was something similar to what they were doing/planning to do. I was in a voicechat with the soapbox people at that moment and responded that they were one of them. But she was wrong. This is the nice thing about Nostr, is that because you are no longer offering a platform where its binary in terms of users being either on your thing, or on someone else's thing, and the biggest thing being the winner of it all. No, instead, the users of your thing don't miss out because they are not on the other thing, and you never lost out in terms of competing. At any moment, you can have a better offer, and users can switch with very low to 0 friction. There is no 1 thing that is the winner, other than the standard* itself. Nostr *assuming people play nice and are thoughtfull in terms of those standards.

do we have in view yet what all the weird bespoke/breaking choices are that Buzz made irt existing Nostr standards?

🎵the internet is for...🎶

So he executed on his exit strategy, as a true buzzkill RIP

At current velocity im starting to consider us a break away internet civilization

"Small internet" as calls it

throwing around long words are we?

more variations of what is effectively cardboard

oh lord, someone gave Alex an idea again...hide yo kids, hide yo wife

Sir, the site buzzing your cpu is a feature, not a bug....well...also a bug i guess🤔🐝

You have to understand that this assumes a cultural strategy. What if my cultural strategy is to actively undermine the outgroup? I don't disagree with you, but there is an assumption of universalism there, and that is not a universal mode of operation. So....better gear up brother, we have a crusade or 2 to go on...oh and a whole lot of hanging, because that is how those norms got established in the first place🤷‍♂

There were two issues, one with NIP03 technically, and one practically. The practical issue is that its inefficient to store all these timestamps in seperate events, which is mainly why fiatjaf stopped, too much overhead. Ive fixed that issue with a new approach, sticking the timestamp directly to the event, but this method demands from relays ,as well as clients to atleast fail gracefully, so it will take some lobbying to get peoples parsers not to panic from the fact there is additional data there they are not expecting.

Can you please make sure when you share your article/recap, you do so via "...", instead of using a weblink, in this case njump.me/naddr1.... "nostr:" is the way to make a Nostr native reference to another event; using an URL basically pull people out of their clients and makes them go to a website (some clients happen to interpret these URLs such that they will open them in the client, but its best to stick to the correct method). Inside yakihonne ''post in a note'' option does this automatically for you. The other option is to select "Copy naddr", and add the "nostr:" infront of it manually. Thank you for your efforts with Nostr recap🙏

1: I don't think that is true 2: We are back where we started so just re-read the thread

I am not saying they should leave those other places. Milk them for what they are worth while it lasts. But don't come crying when for whatever reason that party stops and they have to start from 0, while they could have started from 0 right now already

Do they understand the risk? And do they want to put in the effort of establishing the alternative. If they cant be bothered, neither should you

The main difference is that the authenticity of their content is not reliant a third party, and they are free to shoot themselves in the foot by losing their keys( or worse, getting them stolen). There you go. All the other places can simply dissapear, or dissapear you, and soviet style you never existed in the first place

Aaaaand you build it wrong, build it correct next time
