News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes, and it shouldn't be a user-facing thing to pick an instance. Also identities shouldn't be tied to instances.
NOSTR is not populous enough, its content is mostly waves of repetition from Twitter, Reddit, even Fediverse, but they've done the relays thing right (you use an initial list of relays, then clients exchange lists of relays, simple and not the most efficient way, but still functional enough for Gnutella, BitTorrent etc). Except the concept of a pubkey being an identity is naive. But if your NOSTR identity is not as important as your Facebook profile or phone number, then maybe it's fine to make it a pubkey. They have paid or limited relays too, which store only events from their members. I don't remember how it's done.
It has the stigma of being done by cryptobros for cryptobros, but the technology itself involves no blockchain.
I still don't like NOSTR, they've made some things simpler than acceptable. I like how it shows that the relay model works and even scales.
The usual issue brought up about Nostr isn't the cryptobros, it's the lack of moderation.
NOSTR has NIP's for moderated communities, I don't remember how many clients support that.
