Imagine joining a new social network billed as being designed for everyone and when you get there you find everyone has pronouns in their bio, variations of the pride flag in their avatar, and are unironically telling each other to “stay woke.”

There’s a danger that that’s what #nostr is becoming except instead of woke stuff everyone has “stay humble and stack sats” in their bio, laser eyes in their avatar, and is unironically posting about how we need to get rid of likes on social media and replace them with financial micro transactions.

Agreed. I love the idea of zaps vs likes, personally (value for value), but there is a sense of groupthink that isn’t great for a robust social network. That being said, we’re still in the very early adopters phase, so it makes sense that there’s a tribal mentality prevailing at the moment

For sure. And I think as micro apps develop for niche use cases and relays move to a more central role we will start to see the potential benefit for many different groups and individuals.
