Anyone used Quiet? It’s a p2p privacy focused messaging app that rubs over tor. nostr:note16y9wlehkh53tf72zq8rm0qrlv83t9nx5k23fkl8vg8rryufujykst5czcw

Hmmm I find this part the most intriguing:

"Syncing: IPFS and OrbitDB, an IPFS-based CRDT, ensure that all data (messages, user data, etc) syncs between peers with eventual consistency.

Asynchronous messaging: because messages sync to all members, members can communicate without being contemporaneously online, provided that there is "continuous liveness", a continuous chain of online peers who each sync the latest updates, between the sender and the recipient."

This kind of sounds like how Scuttlebutt works, but using IPFS+OrbitDB so perhaps the performance would be much better?

Wait this is a shortcoming of Threads or mostr.pub? What about other accounts that mostr.pub mirrors, do they go both ways? Does my nostr npub somehow have its mirror twin in the fediverse?

Well then get the hell away from Nostr then Zuck!

Do you know how to tell this isn’t just a fake account / bot that said the same thing?

It's a one-way bridge? Nostr replies can't be seen in the fediverse can they?

If damus relay and nostr.build were nuked tomorrow, what % of nostr would instantly vanish? 🤔

Nuking nostr.build would be way more noticeable, it seems like the vast majority of images posted on nostr are hosted there.

I really wish IPFS or WebTorrent were more performant, would be a great way to decentralize image hosting so that users who have loaded the image can seed it to others who wish to load it.

In the meantime, a stepping stone towards fully decentralized images on nostr could be if more clients + relays implemented NIP-95 to allow images to be directly sent to relays and distributed that way.

Blossom fixes this, I hope.

Thanks for these suggestions, but they appear to be replicas of Twitter, Mastodon, etc. accounts. We are looking for real nostr accounts, genuinely posting on nostr and engaging with other nostr users.

Thanks, could you add some music artists? 🙋🏻‍♂️
