The separation and self-ownership of identity in #nostr which allows users to follow signal will be the best defence against the proliferation of AI-generated content and bots.

Legacy big tech social media are already unable to cope with botting and paid influence networks, they will prefer working with government and require digital ID to solve the problem over giving Users control which Nostr inherently allows.

When forced to choose between fighting bad algos, being censored, and knowing those censored comments are attached to their government issued ID, Users will eventually prefer nostr out of practicality.

I hope you’re right and it happens sooner than later.

It will happen at different rates in different places depending on local forcing factors, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see nostr at the centre of some genuine grassroots movements in the near future.

I agree their system is limited from the get go, while bitcoin, lightning and nostr are freedom derived, sorry big brother your lunch is being eaten in front of you
