#GrowNostr - A Response to the Echo Chamber Problem
He’s absolutely right. But here’s what I think we’re missing-
Yes, most people here are Bitcoin maxis and libertarians to varying degrees. But look deeper at what that actually means sociologically and philosophically. At the foundational level, 99.9% of people on Nostr believe in two core human institutions, freedom and freedom money.
That’s not a narrow ideology, that’s bedrock human aspiration.
Think about what that means. You’re in a space where nearly everyone fundamentally agrees that you should be able to speak, create, transact, and exist without permission from gatekeepers. That’s a massive philosophical commons to build on.
The beauty of Nostr isn’t that everyone thinks the same. It’s that the protocol itself embodies freedom. You can literally post anything you want. Anything. No algorithm deciding if you’re “engagement worthy.” No corporation determining if your thoughts are advertiser friendly. No moderator panel debating if your art fits community guidelines.
You just post. Because you can.
So here’s my challenge. Whatever you’re into, whether it’s cooking, poetry, gaming, fitness, weird philosophy, niche hobbies, art, music, memes, shit posting, whatever, POST IT HERE. Use #GrowNostr. You’ll find more people than you think who want to see it.
We don’t break echo chambers by demanding everyone show up with diversity. We break them by BEING diverse ourselves. By contributing what only we can contribute.
The foundation is freedom. What you build on it is up to you.
