A few days ago I had lunch with @Gigi and he told me about this awesome idea: > A relay that rejects long notes. This morning I woke up thinking about it. And now it's live. wss://140.f7z.io 140-character limit. With a pretty strict moderation, so spam should be basically non-existent. It's also sucking short notes from other relays, so it's global should be pretty useful. Check it out! PS: No coincides; I saw this @fiatjaf note just now πŸ˜‚ @note10nvzcqzst4c5yee279u2j5qpzzkffhwxn5qf5t7jxqfx53h6agdqte34ay

What's the best way to use specific and special case relays like this? Most apps have a global, by following and some a few other filters. Is there a simple way I'm missing to just go "today I wanna see just the 140char posts" or "now let's go check out that relay that only accepts cat pics"? Using Amethyst, Snort and Iris normally fwiw
We came up with the concepts of relay sets months ago but they haven’t received much love. The UX could be similar to that of using Discord. One click and you can change everything except your keys and mix and match your content/identity/follow list as you wish. This is largely unexplored but I’ve experimented in the old version of Highlighter and it’s a very amazing and powerful experience.
I don't believe that 140 characters can effectively restrict spam messages. The issue with spam messages lies not in their length but in their enormous quantity and frequent occurrence. If I were to send a hundred messages to every person in the Nostr network using a thousand accounts within a second, even if these messages were only 140 characters long, they would still be spam messages. The 140-character limit can foster a short message social media culture similar to Twitter, but it cannot prevent abuse of the messaging system.
140 on Twitter was like ppl were just barking out summaries and condensed thought fragments for maximum effect, which was often β€œ I am so offended, need to engage more” . 140 was in my opinion a Buiz Model around engagement farming. Didn't appeal to me, but was successful. But if you areeasily distracted and talk in memes only, 140 is enough. HΓΆ. There aren't proper threads here, maybe on other clients ? I would give 280 a try. Enough for form follows function.
Cool idea. I may use this to test a DVM for sentence embeddings. Related idea for improvement: could it be possible to make the character limit recursive? I.e. the events in the e tag must also satisfy the character limit. That way it prevents people from quoting an entire essay
