Nostr is a chance for us to rehumanize social media.
We can't do it with only a Twitter-style timeline feed. That's an important view, but it's become so all-consuming.

One of the things I enjoy most about Nostr is how it's bringing so many of us together IRL.
Nostr both facilitates human interaction in physical space and digitical anonymity in virtual space, and allows everyone to move though and between those states, and in all variations/combinations of them, being as public or private as they wish in each space.
Nostr won't do that. Its just a tool. Like everything else. It is what you want it to be.
just yesterday, i was thinking about how feed-based social media doesn’t mirror real-life interactions. it’s more like speed dating - every scroll/ table, a new story, a new person.
Yes, it's not organic. And then the devs twist themselves into a pretzel, trying to squeeze something that "feels organic" out of it, and you end up with spaghetti code or gigantic, sprawling apps no one can navigate.
You can't remove the complexity of organic human interaction, you can only structure to reflect it from the beginning, or frantically try to hide it, after the fact, and risk math-whizzes turning it into a commodity because it's so easy to game a linear system.
