Consolidation Nation 🏳️

So the legends are true.. 🤔

I would like to build lots of things, for now I am slowly scratching away at a few things:

ribbit.wiki is my recent project of adding (better and more functional) Nostr support to mediawiki

Ribbit is my (very beta) reddit clone for Android based on the Boost for XYZ apps, recycling some of Amethyst code for better or worse.

Oni is a fork of Owncast which will implement live event broadcasting to nostr for sovereign streaming

And eventually we will make some video games with some degree of nostr interop 🤧

Going to reply individually as each comment has different points and questions.

As for this one, I agree but I would also suggest that Reddit has some of the best UI tooling in the web's history for niche and large communities.

I don't know exactly where everyone goes when leaving reddit and I would imagine the answer is different for many groups and people.

In my experience, the largest reddit exodus was about 3 years ago when people began flocking to Lemmy in response to third-party API changes. I found nostr in that same window of time and thought building an alternative to Lemmy would be better. A year later I ended up using all of these options. Reddit, Lemmy, Nostr, and Pubky. Anecdotally my own experience defies your proposal. And all who chose Lemmy effectively are still using the same UI conceptually. I use Boost for Lemmy which is just Boost for Reddit as the developer also moved to Lemmy in response to the API changes.

Discord has a tight hold on many communities as it offers a combination of "resources and conversations." I still use Discord of course, as many of my own communities have lived there for over a decade now.

And so my point here is going to be- it doesn't matter where people go. The UI capabilities and the concept of sovereign communities are what bring users to a platform to create their own communities. What creates staying power is if the communities can evolve to become their own platforms.

None of the centralized services want that for us. Nostr and Lemmy offer it to some degree. Pubky forgot that platforms should cater to multiple communities but it works as it stands for isolated community platform software.

Which, all of this boils down to, "indexing on nostr is cooked and makes it really difficult to provide highly-available notes at competitive speeds". For now. And perhaps this is my own shortcomings, but I don't see a lot of forward momentum in this area.

I'm all out of leadership but I commend it 😂

I, for one, welcome our crustacean overlords.

I believe it would come down to proving malicious intent on behalf of the user, and from there it would become a question of "does Clawdbot reliably produce malicious code, and if so, is it a threat to anyone besides the user?"

Wrong take. Of course you can look at the current needs of niche communities and think copying Reddit is a good idea.

I know plenty of people waiting on it, and multiple building it (including myself).

Does it need to be rebuilt e2e in its exactness? No. But what do people want from a decentralized reddit? It's community control. The thing you're hinting at.

Why can't nostr do moderation better?

All I hear is defeatism in a world that needs reddit clones.

Stupid vegans thinking they can survive on plants

Hard to feel bad for people who think their Twitter feed is a good source of investing principles
