I don't think it should be easy to ignore. Social or emotional pressure is there to even the scales in debates. It creates balance, in human societies, when those in a position to affect changes can be influenced by others, and have to steel themselves, justify themselves, or reason through their own decisions.

Otherwise, there would be tyranny. Tyranny is when those in a position to affect changes no longer can be influenced by those who are affected by the changes.

Nostr, for better or worse, is a society. That is why it is fun, after all. This is the Not-Dead Internet.
