Nostr Web Client

A lot of the activity on there is artificial activity used to steer opinion and the discourse. They make topics that nobody real cares about become center focus and then real people get wrapped up in talking about it. Twitter “looks the other way” because all they wanted was as much activity as possible. I’m not going to simp for Elon but there’s a reason that the whole system had such a negative reaction to an unknown quantity like Elon take over the whole thing. I doubt Elon ever gets to the bottom of what was and is truly going on there but it’s just a big machine to warp people’s perception of reality.

Interesting. Thanks for your take

These days a lot of platforms are glaringly obvious to me how skewed they are, to the point I concluded there's a push to slant perception of reality. Definitely from a political front for sure, likely funded

I just haven't noticed it as much on Twitter until recently

Was just talking to someone today, how extra easy it would be to frame sentiments in a specific direction. Not just mass of bots, but think ChatGPT style algos that mass produce realistic profiles and discussions, all with a targeted nuance narrative. Repeat it enough subconsciously and it becomes engrained

Increasingly volatile times where truth and fiction are exponentially blurred to the many

Yeah the regime has been doing this with people and bots for years now. It’s an unholy alliance between the various intelligence agencies, state department and ngos. Things like Chatgpt will make it much cheaper and more convincing at first but I actually think ultimately your average person will become a lot more suspicious and use tools to detect if they’re being botted.

Definitely this capability is more obvious to the attentive person (real vs narrative), but to the masses I'm not sure. It seems they are deeper stuck in their own hypnosis, and will continue to get worse

In digital age, even with neutral platforms like Nostr, it's still super easy to do in mass. Scaling is super easy to do in digital realm
