lemm.ee has shut down at 00:14 UTC.

unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

A solution to this is Nostr. One identity across the entire network.

Twitter-like Platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Reddit-like platform/client dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

PC dies overnight? No problem, all data still there.

Data is sync'd across multiple relays, you can run your own, and clients are interoperable.

It's my go-to now, for everything. A person's posts, their followers/audience, chats, etc never needs to be migrated.

Media is stored using the Blossom protocol which was created for Nostr.

V4V(Value 4 Value) is also a thing, so instead of just Likes/Reactions you can tip/Zap Sats (Bitcoin over Lightning) but that's optional.

Centralised identity is something that Nostr does right. But it's got a nazi bar problem

[–] uxellodunum@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

It's not centralised though. It's quite decentralised actually.

As for your "nazi bar problem", I'd suggest you review the relays you connect to. That's the beauty of free speech, and power of choice.

I think this is the only thing Nostr fixes. It has a lot of other issues, I feel which makes it difficult to scale. Like you can't block anyone, just mute. It's only the text that is distributed, media is still centralized, etc.. You cant stop someone from following you. Metadata about you gets leaked to the network like who you are muting. It doesn't work well if you use two different clients, like desktop and android.

You just lost all the anticryptobros with that last sentence.
