Love Kevin Kelly. Thanks for bringing this interview to my attention!
Connecting people. He would support local business, join various social groups, just to support them. He would often volunteer time to help with whatever these people needed. He would rarely pick sides and instead always try to explain why the other side wasn't completely wrong.
I used to think that he was just doing things for others without having strong opinion on anything... but later I realized that he became so respected in the community that he would often be the only person that all sides of an argument were willing to talk to, and as a result he had more influence than the opinionated people fighting for their causes.
I still haven't learned it :-)
Just to close the loop, I distributed 100k sats across the most useful answers, as promised. Thanks everyone for participating!
This is incredible. And yes you basically called out most of my private notes on this so far. Yes, we are thinking about this in a very similar way. I will keep you posted!!!
Thank you. That API is what I need, very helpful!
Yep, private communities are very popular. I just think WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram group is good enough for most people and open protocol doesn’t add as much value.
I was thinking about it as yet another nostr app:-) one that gives the user better control over what content they get. None of the apps that I tried so far allows me to do that or at least I haven’t found it yet. I can follow specific users and get all of their content, or some apps allow watching specific hashtags but I think there is much more control one could get.
You could call it content curation I guess but I’m thinking about it from a single user-consumer perspective, not a community content moderation. Although those two might be similar I guess.
Wow. I did not think about the content you publishing — that’s a very strong signal of your interests indeed. Thank you!

Thanks Car. Can I somehow edit the existing post to make it a bounty? Also, with bounty, can I split the reward? I'm not planning to give 100k to single answer but rather distributing it across multiple answers.
Too much content online: Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc. With AI tools, more people can generate content (which is good in my opinion that more people can participate), but for the reader/consumer it becomes more overwhelming. For instance, when I open my LinkedIn it's full of AI-generated content - some of it is good, there is some interesting thought and then the person used AI to make it easier to read, but also a lot of bullshit just nicely packaged.
So far everything has been optimized for ads. To get through the algorithm ranking, writers/producers need to produce a lot of content many times a day and so there is more and more tools for the producers/creators, but not much for the consumer/reader.
I can't answer what "exactly" is the good content because that depends on each consumer/reader and it might be different based on their mood or time of the day. So I think there is an opportunity to build a tool that will simplify that.
