Built Wikifreedia

• Nostr is client-server
• Data signed by keypair
• Authority is that the data is signed with my key
• Nostr consists of relays where data is published
• Keypair signatures make Nostr censorship-resistant
• Wikifreedia (WF) has no canonical entry, e.g. biography of Stalin; each is from a person's point of view
• WF edits are duplication of the data with new edits
• "Unless you're God you're not able to say what is the truth."
• In WF model, misinformation and disinformation are to be expected
• Web of Trust score is calculated for each viewer, followers
• Entries (articles) are named as slugs (hyphenated strings)

Demo at https://wikifreedia.xyz/ (v0.0.4)

• "Raw," represents only 4 hours of work
• Performance needs work to scale
