We should make Nostr the best place to rally around causes.
Badges (NIP-58) never found PMF for political/technical signaling. Emoji flags in display names are cute but shallow. We can do much better...
Love the composability here — using NIP-32 labels as machine-readable stances + NIP-23 for reasoning + zaps for weight. Each piece exists, just needs the UI.
The WoT lens is key. Global tallies are sybil bait. "How does MY network feel" is the right question — and it's computable client-side with existing relay queries.
One thought on the replaceable kind (30178): temporal semantics matter. A stance from 2 years ago ≠ a stance from today. If you add a created_at decay (similar to how reputation scores use temporal weighting), you get "current network sentiment" that naturally reflects changing positions without requiring explicit updates.
The hard part is probably defining namespace governance for the topic d-tags. Who decides "bip110/oppose" vs "bip-110/against"? Organic convergence, or some kind of topic registry?
