We need algorithms! There's too much content otherwise - put another way, having no algorithm puts a relatively low upper limit to the number of active accounts you can follow.

But one of the key reasons nostr wins is that you'll get to make or choose your own algorithm and you'll be able to know exactly what it's doing - while all other platforms will be using them to control you.

And with a free market in which anyone can come up with new ways to filter content to give users what they want, nostr algorithms will quickly leave closed platforms in the dust.

Yes it will be "better"!

search algorithms to help us find content, not filters to control content.

yes - you can't ban people from being on nostr, of course. but i think banning isn't going to be the problem on things like x, it will be controlling 'reach' through the algo.
