There are 3 things native to this protocol that, without moderation, make the discourse on nostr less toxic than other social medias:
1] Note permanence -> Accountability
2] One account by default -> Accountability
3] One tribe -> Agreeability
We may not be able to maintain 3, but it's a cultural and human rights imperative that we expand our tent.
Any technical amendments to the protocol (or clients) should be cognizant of 1 and 2 to avoid destabilizing these pro social competitive advantages.

The Eternal September still hasn't ended. Anything as useful and intended-to-be-widespread as Nostr will eventually be overwhelmed.
A lot *can* be done to shape the culture as the userbase expands. Facebook is still fake. Instagram is perfectly poised and color coordinated. Twitter is equal parts earnest and snarky.
Nostr has an interesting advantage that no other victim of Eternal September has had: zaps to quietly reward good behavior. This is how the culture will be shaped.
