Observation:

Posts on Nostr are much less “edgy” than those on Twitter.

Despite being able to post freely about any topic, Nostr postrs don’t seem compelled to make edgy statements.

It seems that an awareness of suppression makes many people more inclined to test the limits of suppression.

In an environment where suppression is not an issue, people are free to focus on things that are enjoyable, creative, and productive.

Will Nostr thrive without the drama and controversy that other social media algorithms optimize for?

Most Bitcoiners are politically correct. That's the problem.

I can't see how we can live without drama or controversy. This only happens in a world where we live inside politically-correct boundaries.

I disagree.

Most Bitcoiners are apolitical if anything.

Focusing on differences and antagonizing others is a recipe for a stressful existence.

It is much more productive to focus on commonalities.

If this is your default behavior it is much easier to align with the nonaggression principle.

That’s not to say that there’s no place for confrontation, but it doesn’t need to be a default mode.

Most dare not remove themselves from their neo-Marxist indoctrination. That's the point.

There are no boundaries. No topic can be left untouched.

If this leads to confrontation, then that's just what's needed.

Who are you talking about?

Most Bitcoiners that I’ve known and interacted with for years have no problem doing these things.

But being edgy for the sake of being edgy is tiring.

I guess we don’t follow many of the same bitcoiners. I would not categorize most I listen to or read from as politically correct. 🤙

That's a very interesting angle. That people aren't testing the limits their overlords set. Because there are none.

I thought I was following you ... That's been corrected 😂

Oh I love doing this! Testing people’s awareness, knowledge and creating some good controversy that helps people be aware!

I think it's because the #NOSTR algo is broken. Need to open a trouble ticket with the customer service department.

That'll get the edgy stuff right up top of feeds. [spoken in my most scarcastic accent of course]

I believe it will. Hope to see you around #nostr 🤙
