That's a bad thing
You are just here to shut down the conversation because it contradicts what you see as the Natural Order.
I won't engage you on this.
Yes, I am aware that acting in bad faith by refusing to engage in rational debate is a tenet of critical theory.
i haven't had my mind poisoned with this critical theory thing
i also think that the main issue with "elites" is inbox hell, and i've thought about the issue of being famous and how it makes you not want to have friends... too much, dunbar number cannot compute lol brrrrzzzttt!!!
He legit just wrote a screed accusing me of some woke American academic theory. 👀
You really don't know Stella very well if you say this.
I'm confused, are you endorsing critical theory?
No, I had to Google critical theory because it's some American claptrap I've not yet cared about. 😂 But I could tell it was bullshit because you waved it like a magic wand.
You're just here to tell the plebs to settle down. That's why you came busting in to talk down to me, like the royal guard, and didn't even bother to ask yourself why this post hit such a nerve with so many people.
my personal interpretation is that primal and the other "trending feed" clients are the main cause of this
not really much that can be done about it even if it is damaging the variety and onboarding, maybe we should put together some concise and cogent points for nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and the other "tredning feed" client devs to understand that they are making the curve into a hockey stick?
You think they don't notice? This is their own software project and that's one of the main features.
well i don't like primal, i saw the guys all in their uniforms running around bitcoin atlantis and wasn't the slightest bit interested, their iconography is cheesy and the UI is ugly and the feed is boring
They got caught fiddling with the trending list before.
what is their predominant geographical base? seems like yugoslavian name but not serbian or bosnian vibes
actually, i already know they are croatian, the name is Milan in slovenia, bosnia, serbia, macedonia and bulgaria, the extra J is definitely croatian, though the bosnians are fond of adding them everywhere for no reason, like "mlijeko" haha
America
ugh
america home of the knave?
home of fiat VC ponzi scams
It's the lack of information.
People have to clump together, if you toss them into a void.
And each person that arrives faces a bigger, more attractive clump and assumes there must be some really good reason the others are standing in that clump, so they join them.
This creates a funnel effect that the trendlists magnified, but that discovery algorithms and splitting npubs up more into different use cases (specialized apps) can reduce.
