I lost my 'Lightning Virginity' last night ⚡🍒
Excerpt
With @ekyzis posting a reminder that it's a good time to open Lightning channels the other night, I bit the bullet and attempted to withdraw some of my SN rewards to one of my hot wallets via Lightning.

Excerpt
Reading through the change log, I followed a link to the SN post about web of trust. This made me think of something I've been thinking about a bunch lately, from using PKM tools (Logseq is my current one) where making it easy to talk about things is a design goal. Making it easy to talk about things through links, search, and automatic back links, causes a densely structured graph to emerge, a very useful kind of semantic knowledge store. It's pretty remarkable how it all pops out.

SN release: enhanced trust algo and more tangible rewards
Excerpt
We still use a web of trust, but we've refined how trust is established between users. In the previous version, trust was established whenever a user upvoted another user's content. This was convenient and it allowed us to reuse a user's trust to determine their share of daily rewards. No more.

If you look at other social media such as Youtube the algorithm punishes harder the longer people were inactive.

I'm actually very curious how this will turn out in terms of shitposts - sick of seeing them on Twitter.
