I think trending could be fine if it’s organic. I dislike algorithms in general though, they’ll inevitably be used to censor ppl.

Even organic trending could end up hurting small users so that they don’t have a voice here.
If I only have time to look at 300-600 posts a day and nostr becomes more popular, then 300 influencers will drown out your voice and I’ll never know you exist.
There is no organic trending.
Basically quoting somebody’s post or re-posting it is what we have for a trend and it seems like it works pretty decently
I know I can’t stop people from building algos and they all should be able to do what they want, I just want us all to think hard about the dark side of the things that “feel good” or normal.
