Time will tell. But if I look at any sample group of people I’ve ever interacted with, in a fairly wide range of situations and locations, most people strike me as being well-intended. It’s no secret that internet algorithms simultaneously boost and amplify negative content while also stoking the flames of individuals’ reactive negativity.

If a social platform stops rewarding these antisocial behaviors and operates more like the “real world” (where thoughtful people are appreciated and jerks are quickly shunned), I would expect the overall experience vibes to reflect the “norm” (peoples’ goodness).

I’m not an optimist but I do believe in humanity. It’s always the tiny fringe who shout the loudest. And on nostr, they will quickly find themselves screaming into the void.
