If meta actually makes threads compatible with activity pub, we might need to spend more time on nostr/activity pub bridges. I never thought some of my friends would be on decentralized social media, but a bunch of them have threads accounts now.

I always hated social media growing up, never really used it much but have been super interested in all the decentralized social stuff going on recently.

How are you setting it up?

Flights can be kinda therapeutic. It’s not every day you get literal perspective of the world around you

We also just need to keep improving our clients and expanding the protocol so that nostr is ready when the non-techy masses peek their heads in here to see if it’s a place they’d like to stay

I feel like social media - if it catches on - could be how we get the next million people into crypto and awaken people to the power of decentralized protocols and ownership of your data.
Most people don't care about decentralization or privacy as much as they probably should, but if they join nostr because it's fun and all their friends are on there, they'll start using bitcoin since nostr runs on zaps and they might start using other more decentralized protocols that become popular as nostr grows. This could be the foot in the door that we've been looking for.
Now we just gotta get a few big celebrities to use nostr lol...

Have these changes already started taking effect? I admittedly don’t have much experience at all with matrix but tried it the other day and thought the basic messaging functionality at least was fairly smooth. Far from the worst I’ve experienced haha

I’d never heard of it before, but definitely looks interesting

Interesting! why do you say that?

It seems to me that nostr is an awesome social media protocol but just not really meant for DMs at all. The current solution seems a little clunky and not scalable to a good messaging experience. What if nostr added some support for people including their matrix usernames and then nostr clients could work to incorporate a full matrix messaging experience in addition to the social media side of things that already works so well. A client like this would have a fantastic social media, messaging, group chat, video calling, and payment (via lightning) experience. It’s like a decentralized super app lol.

learning about self-attention and multi-head attention today.
This was one of the more helpful videos I've come across recently.

This was a super interesting event, I'm very excited for the future of Princeton's DeCenter!!
I particularly enjoyed hearing Troy Cross go off on the NYT article lol, I hope that was recorded

What are your thoughts on something like farcaster?

Was researching some daos the other day and came across a proposal from 2021 that overwhelming passed and the proposal was to exchange a large portion of the daos funds for ftt tokens lol

Right now, the only way to get MEV back to users is to use trusted builders, but I'm really interested in the different potential ways to do this trustlessly.

2023-04-07 20:47:01

Another really interesting read if you're interested in this stuff if MEV-Share, which tries to provide some privacy back to users' transactions when interacting with searchers as well as distributing MEV back to the users

#TIL about SUAVE, flashbots' latest theory about how to decentralize block building and distribute MEV back to users
incredibly interesting read. I still have a lot of questions, but I love these ideas

Some of these nostr clients should have automatic translation to your native language. Would be really cool to help bring people together from all parts of the world and really shouldn’t be that hard

Why isn’t the whole world in one discord server. It’s so stupid smh
