Nostr is better off being an underground thing. If it becomes mainstream and the normals flood in, it will be as toxic as any other social media platform.

But we have different relays for the suckers

This is my main complaint with Nostr, it's trying to reinvent social media which in itself is a shitcoin. I use X, Nostr and Mastodon for social media and Nostr is the worse one of them all. It's just a bunch of fart stiffing and praising Daddy Dorsey.

Yeah there's a lot of users getting high on their own supply, unfortunately.

I appreciate the positivity of the users on here and I like to see what cool things people are building. But I know that won't last as all social media eventually devolves into conflict and toxicity.

So basically, you're saying humanity in general is toxic. I don't really disagree with you, I just want it clarified what you mean.

I don't think humanity is toxic. You can talk to people in person and they are generally polite and respectful. I think social media is different because it tends to award the loudest and angriest with the most attention.

I like Nostr right now because it's friendly and productive, but it's also a very small social network. My worry is that as more people come in, that will be lost and it will devolve the same angry attention-seeking behavior as the other social networks.

yeah, small communities are much better, I agree. but we have 8 billion people that deserve the same sense of community.
