The mix of toxicity and humor on here is precisely right.
Discussion
It really is. There is something in the design of Nostr that encourages self-regulation/moderation. Maybe it’s the fact that you can’t delete. Maybe it’s the lack of algorithm suppressing/boosting certain ideas and people. Idk. But it feels different.
I'm sure it will turn into gatekeeping to the point of echo chamber but we'll see
My moneys on the algo. Everything is happening real time and there’s no algo to push divisive content to the top of your feed. Actually it’s not even a feed, it’s a timeline.
Therefore notes come and go, but if it’s a good idea, it will permeate the users thoughts and will bubble up again in due time. This way only good ideas permeate and not divisive click bait.
Normies coming in will wonder why everyone has laser eyes and is non-stop talking about separating money and state, but they’ll feel a lot more welcome and free to speak their minds here than any other place
Or calling everyone names while being salty.
Along with a healthy side of building.
