I've noticed sometimes people post on nostr the same way they do on twitter and get zero traction.

The algorithm there seems to prioritize controversy and conflict.

People who are using both sites probably can't feel the difference. I'd guess they probably come here and think it's not as exciting and then go back to twitter.

Ah, okay.

I was regularly shadowbanned on Twitter for being too controversial, but I guess I was controversialing wrong.

I wasn't very adversarial, I was just too politically incorrect.

Complained about unchecked illegal Immigration and got reported for hate speech. 🙄

Yeah there's a specific type of speech that games the algorithm, but it's generally all within the window of political correctness.

Never cared to really understand it.

i left because i was tired of the constant tension of fighting with the algorithm and not actually seeing from who i wanted to see from

was the same shit with facebook, but it was far more extreme with facebook

Yeah, I remember that. People would just disappear from my feed.

This, and all kinds of outrage bait gets mixed in

Yup. Nostr discussions are rarer, but much more interesting and in good faith when they do happen.

I probably didn't notice because I was off in the German/trad bubble and wasn't really paying attention to BitTwit.

There are German trads?
