Client segregation of network content to accommodate user intent? Instagram was awesome before Facebook bought it and added an algorithm for moms and zombies. It used to be a place where you posted photos of what you were up to, and active people could find similar active people and get a lens into their world in what felt like real time. That’s a different feel than Twitter for me. Primal is a Twitter clone/improvement. I’d love to have an Instagram back. And having a content-segregated feed like Reddit would be nice too.
I don’t like how I have to post all of my interests to all of my followers. I don’t think they’re interested in me as a person with diverse interests and views on life. I think they’re interested in seeing the areas of my interests that overlap with theirs.
For example, I like European travel, and I like building and using guns. I’m guessing that’s two different audiences, and my feed may feel messed up to them—so they’re likely to unfollow. I want segregation of content posted to different audiences and interests. Even privatized categories or groups would be nice.
I know it’s early for nostr. Not griping. I’m just clarifying saying that the more levers we give clients with content types, category designations, geo-tagging of event locations and relevance locations, the more use cases the protocol can elegantly accommodate.
