Maybe we just follow different people but I don't see anyone fanboying over Jack if that's what you're implying.
In fact the way he takes time to reply to random low engagement plebs regularly kinda reinforces my point.
Compare to say Elon whose fanboys you simply can't miss if you use Twitter and who only ever replies to the same ten accounts because he knows they'll agree with anything he says and defend anything he does.
Totally different vibe. Nothing like that here.
Good Morning #[2] . I agree with you that it’s a different vibe and that vibe is a determining factor in defining the consensus here.
It’s an exceptional vibe.💜
I’m just observing and acknowledging that “you want the community to remain plebs” which demonstrates a collective effort to be highly selective when embracing new users.
If new users don’t fit the “criteria” or vibe they will be rejected.
It’s not a bad thing. It’s good to be cautious and selective.
It’s just fascinating for me to observe the “vibe” and how it evolves.💜
Ah I see what you're getting at.
You're not wrong there. If someone came on Nostr talking about Ethereum and NFTs they'd be hounded off pretty quick by the consensus in the community that's for sure.
What I'm trying to get across isn't that it's a community that welcomes literally everyone - that's literally impossible - but rather if you do fit in with the crowd here, there's minimal drama compared to mainstream social media (some drama happens, but much much less dramatic than Twitter cancel culture etc), instead of being bombarded with negativity because the algorithm knows you'll engage with it, instead you get an unmanipulated uncensored timeline of likeminded people who are part of a supportive community instead of trying to get one up on each other.
That's what I'm saying. This was the norm in web 1 but became rare after the advent of web 2, especially after Facebook opened to the public, so it's nice to have that back.
Well said, I agree. I met someone really nice here who is heavy into doge. I was right in the middle of bashing ETH & NFT’s and I kind of made this person feel somewhat apprehensive about sharing their personal experience in doge and ETH which was truly amazing. This person was very successful in doge and ETH.
I love the ETH community. It’s fun and very creative and that’s were all the artist’s are.
But that moment hit me to be more mindful and nice when referring to ETH and especially doge. LOL.
Thank you so much #[2]. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful responses.
It’s all very insightful for me and has given me a lot to think about.💜
See how cordially this conversation ended despite beginning as a disagreement? That's exactly what I love about this community.
OMG. There was no disagreement - just observations on my behalf right down to the minutiae so if my tone initially came across as harsh or judgmental toward you I apologize.💜
Your note appeared in global right after someone else was rejected by plebchain.
It was just a timely observation.
But yeah touché. Have lots of fun today! You’ve earned it. Bye #[2] 💜
I wasn't trying to insult you! Positive vibes only.
Also, don’t take it personal. I’m not singling *you* out specifically.
This is the general consensus or vibe that I have personally observed across the board on nostr for quite some time.
It’s just that your note perfectly illustrates the social dynamic on nostr.
So I hope you accept it as a compliment.💜
