Social networks tend to build certain cultures. In this early stage, people here have a serious ability affect this culture if we ever go 10x or 100x or 1000x from here. And you all have done an amazing job so far. Imagine if Nostr can re-assert respect and kindness as normal online traits. You appreciate peoples' posts. You thank them. You agree or disagree politely. You treat people online similar to how you do offline. You're not beholden to the algorithm. You're a real person, who uses algorithms for discovery. You're the master of your domain. We still have that for the most part. Pura Vida is the unofficial motto here, which is awesome. Keep it up.

Being able to actually build your own client is the literal game changer. No need to game the users with addictive dark design patterns. But how to incentivize "normal" human interaction is the big question. People are so used to being manipulated they actually expect the dark patterns and it might feel weird when they're not there. Loving your optimism, Lyn.
