sometimes they get their information from outdated documentation

Here's a link to the other 2000 words he wrote.
view on x.comDigging through the data, I'm a bit surprised at what kinds of posts get downvoted
That'll be juicy to read about
Eh, I probably won't write about this in any specific detail. One of my commitments is to not make anything public that wouldn't already be public on the site.
Good plan. Is it more things getting downzapped or nyms getting downzapped?
I actually can't see any nyms... just numerical user ids.
I think what was surprising to me is the content of some posts that got downzapped. I wouldn't have thought they would.
After conditioning on multiple users downzapping and downzaps > zaps, I get stuff that makes more sense.
It's still an incredibly small number of posts getting downzapped though
It’s all darthcoin downzapping coinsreporters cricket posts. Haha
I will not waste my sats for such garbage. downzaps are also sats, but the economics is not your strength on this. Also downzaping in such a garbage territory will only give more sats to the same losers. So why should I feed them? You really don't think I know how SN works? You have no idea how many things I know.
Funny that the biggest troll doesn’t understand sarcasm.
haha you may not be far off the mark
That's basically what I was getting at

i was wondering when jb was going to blow.
i've been in a wait-and-see mode with nostr because it got incredibly top heavy once dorsey dragged all the podcaster/influencer/grifters into it.
protocols are fragile things especially when they lack self-structuring incentives. the last thing you want to do is let otherwise talentless people with high political-IQs deploy the incentives.
This isn't really a response to your comment, so much as the thoughts it inspired in me.
I wish I had a good framework in my mind for understanding all this. For instance, Shocknet's post (#1275977) makes a good point about Ark that I had not considered before (we talk about Ark - the protocol - like we talk about Lightning - the network - but Ark - the network - is a closed network while LN is open. Maybe even: the equivalent to joining the Lightning Network and opening a channel in Ark is starting your own ASP) and clearly this is an important difference.
Does it mean we shouldn't use Ark? or that we should talk about it differently?
Nostr feels open like LN, but the way primal runs its caching server...doesn't sound as open. Does it mean one should switch to clients that are more "true" to the original nostr idea, or just that we should use different language to talk about what using nostr via primal is?
In fairness to Primal they have no real competition, I mostly use Primal because everything else is worse. Amtheyst I use on mobile, but I have to switch between them sometimes because each have separate issues.
Caching/indexing is a necessity, strfry is the only relay that works at any meaningful scale and it can only do that because its a very simple K:V database. The trade-off with that is its impossible to render a modern UI with simple queries, so clients directly connecting to it get bloated and paradoxically DoS it.
I've got my own nostr app (bxrd) in the hopper I tinker with from time to time but its not a priority.
Nostr is still more open than Ark, its literally just json and websockets, any app can exfil data from Primal's relays and you can DM primal users without a trusted swap lol
i don't have an answer, but there's a critical difference between nostr/primal and ln/ark in that there's direct incentives for lightning even if ark exists. direct protocol incentives are fundamentally new - lightning has them, nostr doesn't.
the history of protocols without direct incentives is that they get coopted and centralized; the coopters extract all the goodwill of the protocol base, fork off and then abandon the protocol, leaving it in shambles.
I made my first SN-breaking post and the bounty is still alive

It's getting hard to keep track, so I made a map of what's been guessed so far
Amazing how many countries stackers think might be Japanese!
Since people are just flailing around desperately at this point, I'll offer a hint:
There has been at least one SN post about the place in question
A post does come to mind..
That tip is no help at all, for fuck's sake! Hahaha

true. nothing crappy. I need some sensors as I said here #1271387 and got .... no answers. otherwise I will look at lowering subscriptions for various work utilities

Ordering aprons for my school’s food waste project helped me come up with an original idea. I took one apron from my sci lab technician and pasted two concept maps drawn by my students earlier this week. In colour, no less.
Just as you might have expected, the students, especially the ones responsible for the concept maps, were tickled pink by my unexpected appearance. Taking them by surprise made it easier for me to recap the main concepts of the water cycle.
A colleague who walked past me later was intrigued enough to take a photo of the apron with the two concept maps, thus proving that I was the most creative teacher alive.
