RFK with a brain worm is still better than Trump and Biden combined.

Some people think Nostr cannot work with things like a "universal consistent like count" and other basic social media malignant tumors.

Even if we ignore the bad psychological and societal effects of such practices and assume they are good, and even if we assume that Nostr is all running in a single server that has all the events (a Bluesky-like unavoidable requirement for such universal consistency) these people are still completely oblivious to the fact that anyone can create a bazillion keypairs and spam like counts.

So when they ask for a "universal consistent like count" what these people are really asking for is for a centralized KYC barrier at the doors of Nostr that ensures only a single keypair can be created by each human.

@3bf0c63fcb93463407af97a5e5ee64@mostr.pub This is a solveable problem with inbox model. You COUNT from the best read relay of the post author.

@3bf0c63fcb93463407af97a5e5ee64@mostr.pub That's true, but then it's a trust issue with a person you follow rather than a network issue.

I used to hate databases. Then I spent years studying them, experimenting, and learning about they work. Now I really hate databases.

Q: Why Google Drive? Can we add NextCloud or some FOSS alternative?

A: If you are self hosting NextCloud, you should just self-host a Nostr relay.

Google Drive is valuable specifically because it is the opposite of a Nostr relay. It fills a gap in the Nostr ecosystem. Using NextCloud to inch it further away misses the point. Google Drive Relay is used BECAUSE it's on the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm not saying there's no room for anything in between. But the further you try to inch it away, the closer you get to simply recreating Nostr Relays. I understand the skepticism. But in my view, this is how Nostr does an Extend-Embrace-Extinguish of legacy tech. This is Art of War. 😂

@5e5fc1434c928bcdcba6f801859d52@mostr.pub The thing I want people to see most is that people can back up their events on their computer without needing to self-host a relay.

@f4db5270bd991b17bea1e6d035f45d@mostr.pub Q: Do past events also load?
A: No, you can only store events in Google Drive. You can't query them directly.

Q: Is a service also possible on Proton drive?
A: Seems like not: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonDrive/comments/z1bofb/please_make_a_public_api_available_so_we_can_add/ Although other integrations like Dropbox or WebDAV should be possible.
