@npub1sg6p...f63m what solutions have you guys tested over there? Tell us your secrets. :)

Moderator-led communities are an easy answer. But I do wonder if there are alternative schemes, like what @jb55 has been discussing.

You wouldn't zap a hash crash 😂 I'll see myself out

Underrated comment.

I feel like we had the same feeling with WoT a couple years ago, but WoT never came to save us.

Well, you can still game a semantic search. Best protection against that is moderating users and/or requiring payment.

WoT is not a plug-and-play solution, it is a group effort of aggregated relational endpoints and edges. What we can (and should) do with WoT is form trusted networks of relays (nip-66) What we can do with WoT is offer verifiable consensus amongst moderated auth-enabled relays What we can do with WoT is manage friend lists and trust scores and curate lists between users and groups. However what we cannot do with WoT is wait for it to solve problems that are inherent to the protocol. On dedicated community relays, hashtags don't conflict across a global feed of notes. Each relay has its own collection of respective hashtags. I have to side with @cloud fodder and nip-66 / nip-42 on the order of hashtag conflicts. In a smaller world, individual conflicts can be addressed and resolved without mass, global dilution.

So your 2 positions are: * we already have all the tools we need to make hashtags work * hashtags can never work except on paper My position is still that hashtags can work when devs build the tools for them to work, which you fucking gaslit me and muted me over because it contradicted your position that we already had those tools, but now you say hashtags can only work on paper? Why are you fucking allergic to the simple position of "we should build the tools hashtag users need?" Why are you fucking allergic to the simple position of "we should build the tools hashtag users need?" Why are you fucking allergic to the simple position of "we should build the tools hashtag users need?" What the fuck is wrong with you and your supporters?

@7fqx please either call out this guy's bullshit or defend why you act like he's not so bad

Lol, post of the year right here.

i keep bringing up the hashtag association with a relay set could easily be a 'community' but clients are not interested. i think, because they werent architected to be able to do such a thing and would need a rewrite (kinda like outbox rollout). i am hopeful that the outbox generation of clients will have more control over their sdks so as to make these experiments possible.

We could do #bitcoin@nostr1.com as a hashtag. Or a #bitcoin@nprofile1.. as a hashtag. 🤔 In those cases, users could at least choose which definition they are going for. Spam is still an issue.

They do, but those communities suffer a lot in between. Then the problem repeats a few years later when one of them goes back into using #Amethyst again because no one else is using it.
