For what it's worth. I suspect fed-run relays have sped up the Tor network substantially. I'm really mostly using it to avoid commercial tracking and passive dragnet so it doesn't really bother me...

man, the gradient and drop shadow really improve the experience over posting the excerpt In plain text.

Nostr isn't part of the Fediverse? It's not even federated.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Correct, it's decentralized. I don't even care about my Nostr relays. I am well aware of my home server, especially when it starts returning some kind of errors

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 19 points 1 day ago

Pffft, no. The fediverse does just fine without blockchain nonsense.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Nostr doesn't use a blockchain

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 14 points 1 day ago

You're technically right, although it does come with lightning/bitcoin integration — and a userbase of primarily cryptobros supplying the nonsense part.

I think tipping people for posts is really cool, though. They had a doge tip bot on reddit, but it didn't actually integrate with the network, so apparently when it shut down the owner of the bot just stole everyone's tips

Crypto is all about shilling bags or criminal activity.

): unfortunate for the ones that actually want to use it as an anonymous currency

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

There are non-crypto posts on Nostr

Nostr is where everyone who secretly admires Musk/Trump/Zuck goes.

Shame, because on its face, I thought it was a really interesting technology that solved an underlying infrastructure problem in the fediverse's makeup.
