Expecting everything to work for free is like expecting communism to work.

Same applies to supporting federated fishbowls.
I never joined Mastodon because I thought that model was idiotic. Censorship with extra steps, as Rick and Morty would put it.
People bringing that to Nostr with Ditto and everyone cheering it on feels like a backdoor to reinviting censorship is emerging.
Relay moderation is fine, but siloed data is the antithesis of #nostr.
Ditto-like infrastructure is why BlueSky and Mastodon devolved into what they are now.
It’s the tech underneath that matters, not the names. If nostr goes into this direction, it will no longer be “nostr”

What do you think of the new constant O?
Unifying quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general relativity… ⚛️
Here’s a short excerpt:
“\subsection{Developing a Novel Constant in Quantum Physics}
This began by considering the possibility of a universal constant based on units of length, similar to how Planck's constant is based on units of time. In traditional quantum mechanics, energy is linked to frequency through Planck's constant \( h \). The goal was to harness wavelength (a measure of length) instead of frequency (a measure of time) to discover a scalable constant: \( O \).
\vspace{1.2em} % Adjust the amount of space as needed
\textbf{Planck's constant (\( h \))}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Equation}: \( E = h\nu \)
\item \textbf{Units}: Joule-seconds (Js)
\item \textbf{Role}: Relates energy to frequency, where frequency requires time.
\end{itemize}
\textbf{New constant (\( O \))}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Equation}: \( O = E \times \lambda \)
\item \textbf{Units}: Joule-meters (Jm)
\item \textbf{Role}: Relates energy to wavelength, relying on spatial dimensions.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Establishing \( O \) as a Scalable Constant: Deriving From The Cornerstones of Quantum Physics With Consistency}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Deriving \( O \) from Planck's Constant and Speed of Light}:
\[
O = h \times c
\]
\item \textbf{Deriving \( O \) from Energy and Wavelength}:
\[
O = E \times \lambda
\]
\end{enumerate}
These expressions show how \( O \) bridges the concepts of energy, wavelength, Planck's constant, and the speed of light.
\subsection{Calculating \( O \) with Real Values}
\textbf{Calculating \( O \) from Planck's Constant and Speed of Light:}
\[
h = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}
\]
\[
c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}
\]
\[
O = h \times c = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8 = \mathbf{1.987821045 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Jm}}
\]
\textbf{Deriving \( O \) from Energy and Wavelength:}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Purple Photon}:
\[
E = \frac{6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}} = 4.97 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}
\]
\[
\lambda = 400 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}
\]
\[
O = \mathbf{1.99 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Jm}}
\]
\item \textbf{Red Photon}:
\[
E = \frac{6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{700 \times 10^{-9}} = 2.84 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}
\]
\[
\lambda = 700 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}
\]
\[
O = \mathbf{1.99 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Jm}}
\]
\end{itemize}
The value of \( O \) remains consistent at \(\mathbf{1.99 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Jm}}\) regardless of the photon's energy and wavelength. This consistency across different scenarios illustrates that \( O \) is a fundamental constant, unifying the relationship between energy and wavelength in quantum mechanics.
\subsection{Establishing a Chain of Equalities with \( O \) and The Cornerstone Quantities of Quantum Physics}
\[
O = h \times c = E \times \lambda
\]
This chain of equalities incorporates fundamental constants and parameters from the cornerstone equations of quantum physics. Energy, as seen in \(E = mc^2\), wavelength from de Broglie's equation, Planck's constant \(h\) from Planck's equation, and \(c\), the speed of light used ubiquitously. The emergence of this relationship showcases the profound interconnectivity of these universal constants.”

If you don’t know other relays exist, you can’t post to them! That’s the point of the DHT… DHTs let you discover neighboring nodes without a centralized list of nodes.

Outbox works well across well-connected relays, it’s just disparate relays that don’t even know of each other — they can’t share the NIP-65 event.
If you aren’t aware of relays in other countries then you can’t sync with them. The DHT enables you to discover the other relays. See?

Data portability should be the primary priority of Nostr — it’s what enables freedom and low exit costs… no single server being a monopoly over your data.
E2E communities is client based process via MLS, not server based with Ditto. Ditto and Mastodon are philosophically incorrect and are abhorrent.

“they would have already.”
Not necessarily… 🙏
Most haven’t heard of Nostr, or had a bad experience due to Nostr lacking algorithms and speed (tons of missing posts/client glitches/etc).
It’s nowhere near as advanced as Twitter yet. Once it is, then the price for censorship resistance might not require such a steep cost.
Right now the switching costs are too high: you lose your network and lose many features of Twitter. Reverse-chronological feed with missing notes is primitive compared to X and what comes next.
Once Nostr has all the features normal Twitter has, including consistent speed and feed algorithms, then the true test begins…

Many conferences have done something like this. Usually it’s a bunch of tables with numbers on them — the app tells you which number/table to meet at. You choose attendees based on their descriptions et al.
