Blog about learning Nostr to solve the problems with the fediverse.

Problems to solve

1. Community fragmentation
   • Communities on different instances with the same name are confusing to the user. It’s unintuitive. Users should be able to pull community post from as many servers as they want, combine them and reply to them with the same user account.
2. Defederation.

• The user should be in charge of what they see with the ability to opt in or out of admin’s curated list of servers . Defederation is oppression of the user when the user does not consent.

Nostr can fix these problems but it currently has no concept of communities or the ability of relays to moderate themselves. Moderation is curation and so is a valuable service if the user can opt out by subscribing to another server.
