It's funny to me how some people on Nostr are anti Twitter and anti Elon Musk, but think Nostr is better. Both involve people, fallible, imperfect people. Being against something so vociferously is simply swinging to another extreme, not solving a problem or making a genuine contribution to humanity.
It would be far better to celebrate the good, and celebrate competence, before casting aspersions, because otherwise those casting the stone can become a worse version of what they complain about.
It's not about having the right people. It's about organizing the structure of how people relate so that it's conducive to cooperation and prosperity. In computer science, you have resources, like data, memory, and CPU time. The various ways you put those identical pieces to work have tremendous differences in results.
But yes, I sgree with your second paragraph.
Good insights Liberty Bean. And you're right! Engineering systems, including social systems that motivate choices and behavior that lead to human flourishing is extremely important. However, I would argue that those actions are a large part of the puzzle, yet there is another part of the puzzle which is speaking the truth in a kind way that exposes people to a level of awareness of their words and actions that are in contradiction to their espoused values. Becoming negative and oppositionalist to Twitter and Elon Musk seems like a waste of time better invested in building something new because a person becomes what they focus on, even if they are focused on what they don't want to become. Of course, I could be wrong. But I think it's pretty ironic that some people who may have complained about the negativity of Twitter culture are also deciding to imbue negativity towards Twitter on Nostr. Those people are guilty of what they have accused others of doing. I've certainly been guilty of the same thing! But I think the hilarity and irony of this situation is worth pointing out and even making fun of, to some degree. Thank you for your input!
