The thing that excites me most about the future of Nostr is the algorithm market.

Never before have social algorithms been subject to market forces. Either you like Twitter, IG, etc’s algorithm or you have to leave.

Nostr will allow people to pick and choose.

Want content sorted by likes? Sorted by zaps? Filtered through a web of trust? Unfiltered and raw?

You can have any and all of that. And I can’t wait to see the user experiences it produces.

I dig the raw, unfiltered Nostr. I just occasionally block repetitive spammers. My free public node will never censor messages.

I dig it too. But I have to imagine as it scales that changes.

It's only a matter of time before porn proliferates on here, among other things. Fortunately relay operators only store links to images, not the images themselves, so they won't be prosecuted for inadvertently hosting child pornography or something equally insidious.
