I’m not a tech person so maybe I don’t fully understand but I feel like the whole Nostr is “anti” argument is weak and a projection of one’s own inner conflict.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having light hearted fun online especially when the physical world is actively trying to destroy us everyday. There’s nothing wrong with spreading positivity and cheering people on and nothing wrong with deep intellectual conversations, or heartwarming photos. In fact, I’d argue that Nostr is one of the only places where all of this is happening at once.
There are so many different clients and so much to explore even though there is so many more ways it can grow. I just don’t see how this makes any sense.
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.
