#[3] - I hope you get to the north, and anywhere in between. And let me know if you pass through Bangkok.

Would this be a combination of client and relays? I.e. someone builds a client where access to relays is strictly controlled?

2023-02-27 06:30:13

- reply

Yea, but in the case I’m referring to, it’s not so much about not wanting to hear / see posts, but about figuring out how to ensure traffickers aren’t using social media to target, groom and lure their prey. It’s a tough one to figure out.

2023-02-27 06:23:01

- reply

That’s one of the issues I’m researching now - what’s the balance between freedom/free speech/privacy/transparency/anonymity… on social media, via which a lot of human trafficking is coordinated…

Nostr free speech = you can say what you want, just not on my relay?

I’m gutted to see this, and feel sick for you, and yes - what’s our response? This is something we’re gonna have to deal with more and more, so what should be the nostr response and approach? I don’t know how the backends work on relays, but should relay operators be responsible for maintaining the governance integrity of their relay?

Don’t know about more services, but hopefully better. Once that foundation identity is established, it can be used for other non-government services: banking, SIM registration, home / land purchases…

Bhutanese govt administration is very much paper-based, like a lot of countries, and this means that citizens won’t have to travel halfway across the mountains to sign a piece of paper - they’ll be able to do that digitally with the same level of assurance as the current in-person process.

2023-02-27 02:43:22

- reply

The same services the government currently provides, and for which they need to authenticate their citizens’ identifies before providing - social services, education, healthcare, agriculture services …

2023-02-27 02:21:46

- reply

Then you can’t get access to services the government provides.

2023-02-27 02:18:24

This is really exciting news:
Bhutan is the first sovereign government in the world to create national digital identity in a self-sovereign framework, i.e. using decentralised identity technology.

I’m still trying to figure this one out - I’m only really using Damus, and I see a feed of notes, but have no idea which relays each note comes from. Would be nice to be able to toggle relays on/off and see how that affects the feed

The format is an ‘unConference’, which means the agenda is set every morning by attendees who choose topics for discussion, then convene workshops on those topics.
It’s a really interesting and inspiring conference format, no main stage speakers nor pre-determined agenda, but rather various expert and interested parties coming together to address topics relevant to their interests.
Everyone walks away with information helpful to their own work and life, and the subject matter debate continues to broaden and deepen.

2023-02-21 00:02:39

I’m going to a Digital ID conference in Bangkok next week (https://www.apacdigitalid.org/).
What questions or topics would you like me to explore while there?

Got it - but when I click on #topics, or #nostrdesign, there’s no interaction. So are we saying this is part of the future roadmap?

2023-02-20 01:43:02

- reply

The other question I have is this: If I add paid relays, and they come to the same feed as the free ones, how will I know which notes are coming from where? How can I appreciate the work the relay operator is doing to keep spam out of my feed, or deliver notes that are interesting to me if i can’t tell where specific notes come from ? I still haven’t figured this part out, but seems a great opportunity for simple UX to show which feed a specific note comes from. Although now that I think of it - I’m connected to 10 free relays - and when I send a note, which relays is delivering that note? All of the relays?

2023-02-20 01:38:34

- reply

What do you mean ‘recommend topics’?

2023-02-20 01:27:51

- reply

Right now I’m on Damus and the relays I’m connected to are all free. And I’m not getting any spam (I don’t really look at the global public feed). So if one of the first incentives of a paid relay is to reduce spam, I’m already spam-free, so I have less of an incentive.

I don’t know - I’m not on any paid relays 😂. But I think that’s one of the starting points - it’s early days! I think relays will evolve to offer tailored services specific to their mission.

2023-02-19 12:57:38

I guess the first service is spam/ bot reduction.

2023-02-18 12:18:08

Yes! I miss local news and community. I’ve lived away from my birth country and for 30 years now, but listen to my local hometown radio station online - it keeps me connected to the news my family and friends are living with everyday.

2023-02-18 10:25:58

- reply

Agreed - looking forward to seeing how relays might develop into focused subject-matter feeds …? Like a relay for local town news, one for local food or school content ?

2023-02-18 04:05:35

- reply

Yep, hard to remove the journalist from the journalism, or the history from the historian…

2023-02-18 04:02:08

- reply

It’s happening, it’s happening! Re journalism, I think the value in that role - and the role itself - is changing. I still value long-form content, deep research journalism, but the daily reporting can be done just as well with the combined approach you describe above.

Information is such a broad term, hard to say ‘all’ - but I believe we should lean more towards the free end of the spectrum, with perfectly legitimate reasons to charge for information i.e. packaging, summarising, synthesising, delivering, making accessible …
