The Nostr trending algo works backward to Twitter.
It nudges you to talk only about Nostr and Bitcoin, or to post platitudes, famous quotes, sexy pics, and heart-warming pictures of nature and food.
It's an anti-intellectual algo.
An anti-literary algo.
An anti-contemplation algo.
Any original, complex, or unsettling thought gets buried 6 feet down and a pile of GMs gets poured on top, to seal it in.

I'm starting to like the idea of using Nip 32 for general discovery

Ignoring the fact that "the Nostr trending algo" doesn't exist, I think this is more of an adoption problem.
Iβm bored enough to scroll hard enough to find this, so weβre making progress
If it didn't exist, the dulling effect of it wouldn't exist. But it exists and it's tangible. You probably don't notice because you're writing about your area of expertise (which conveniently happens to be Nostr) and receiving lots of feedback because you have a gazillion followers.
The avert human responses and the measurement of them being the algo results in an intellectual "flight to safety", where there are a few popular topics and correct opinions and you can hardly break out of that mold, even if there is an audience for it.

πͺ΄ I want more unsettling thoughts! πͺ΄
Maybe humans just arenβt that interesting?
Humans are more interesting because they are more chaotic than a bot brain. They have a soul which can tap into higher dimension wisdom. Bot brain will always produce what is within their matrices, although sometimes they produce different thanks to probabilistic nature, they are still confined within their parameters. Give it the same context and low temperature and run it 100 times. Most of the times it will generate similar outputs.
sadly I'm yet to see a single nude in my feed

now the test is to see if my feed starts populating with naked women in cardboard boxes π
For a client side only approach, train your own algo against the nostr global feed here:
. Today I'm setting up encrypted algo synchronization between devices over nostr using y-ndk. y-ndk needs stars:
