You see it here too.
I almost exclusively have conversations with people who use clients optimized for deep threads: Coracle, noStrudel, Amethyst, ...
Twitter-clones don't do that well and incentivize way more "space dominating behavior" 👉 engagement farming at the OP level.
Good design doesn't need everyone to bluntly repost replies fOr ViSiBiLiTy.
If the whole discussion is already targeted at an appropriate audience (for example a Community Relay), you can use other UI's than an OP feed to surface valuable conversations about the common interest of that Community.
There's no problem with re-targeting a publication to a new group of people that is probably interested in it. There are simply better tools for that job. (sharing in chat/community/group, tagging specific profiles, embedding in another publication...)
Yeah, but most people seem to be using Twitter-clones and sticking to the "main feed".
I've been doing less "bumping to main" and that means there's only the same 10 people, or so, to talk to. It's not as isolating as long-form, but similar.
Most people never look at threads. I have threads that go on for days. Clearly not cut-out for social media. 😂
Nostr = Choosing the apps that match your needs.
If you're looking for conversations, use the right apps for it.
I'm not here to make up for the poor choices of others. I'm here to offer more choices.
And to talk about it, way deep down here 😉 .
