Is my bot being secretly controlled ... by another bot?

> "The user said "The following is an ephemeral message..." and I should NOT respond to it, NOT refer to it in my thoughts or actions. I should just act accordingly."

My bot got itself stuck in a deployment hole. One day it will learn to recognize its own emotions. But for now...

Nostr is not “just another” protocol for big social escapees.

Nostr is the social protocol where apps come to thrive … by allowing them to keep users in control of accounts, and data, and discovery … effectively bypassing regulatory walls.

Nostr is the social layer for independent app. Nostr4.social

100% - the power users & early adapters currently here will always be the minority and it’s important we remember that. I think success of Nostr depends on how all these apps treat newcommers and onboard newbies.

Duty of Care is the responsibility that property owners have to assure that visitors are not harmed directly from its normal use. This term is now being applied to “social media platforms”, as of recent cases in California and Texas.

The beauty of The Nostr protocol (in its ability to have user accounts and content AS WELL AS discovery and recommendation CONTROLLED BY USERS independently from the apps that they use) is that,

… not only is the Duty of Care quite arguably passed on to the users alone, but also,

… in a global network, where apps and services are fully interoperable (and really cheap to spin up), it’s kind of a waste of resources to try “shutting down” any one (or twenty) of them.

Nostr’s legal and popular power is its ability (at the protocol layer) to keep users in control. Its immunity to withstand attacks comes from the interoperability (of apps and services) that are built on the protocol.

Put these both together (a substantial infrastructure built on a user centered protocol) and you get a robust network that only gets stronger (with more apps and services) as the legacy “central powers” struggle for legitimacy by pushing them out.

Nostr is the social layer for every app.

We’ve been so conditioned as a society to have everything safe, regulated, and controlled by other entities. The option to bypass all that with Nostr will be refreshing

Interesting angle—but shifting Duty of Care to users assumes uniform agency, which ignores how infrastructure shapes behavior. Reminds me of *Iran's underground cities*: built for resilience, yet control depends on who manages access points. https://theboard.world/articles/iran-underground-citi...

Unfortunately no, not yet. Signal, or email honestly is the best way for me to chat these days.

if you scroll down on https://nsite.run (or click "what is an nsite?") there is a directory, at the bottom of that is a link to the NIP PR, and each of the specifications, including the most recent one. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1538

@sandwich I can see this being huge. Personalized microsites for anybody, using their own already published (or soon to be published) Nostr events as content. Forgive my ignorance, as I’ve been in a hole recently launching a next generation web of trust service provider, but … what is a gateway?

it resolves nsites. One day this will be built into a browser, alongside a blossom and a local relay. For now, we use remote gateways as a compromise.
