I'm not entirely sure yet myself, but I think I'm starting to understand 😅

These notes for instance are about how people's thirst for sats & followers let dark actors gamify Nostr & it's users, letting scammers & bots into real people's networks and web of trust. But for what I'm not sure. Scamming Sats? Spreading false information? Tracking users? All of the above?

Nostr is new and there are no guardrails. Human nature plus novel technology always has upsides and downsides. #DarkNostr is a catchall term for the downsides. That's my take anyways.

*I'm highly regarded. Take this with many grains of salt. 🤙

My man. Thanks for the explanation!

Even the “dark web” Tor started off as a U.S. Navy project to prevent the suppression of citizens by dictators:
