Some npubs see the entire Nostr protocol as their territory to defend against Undesirables from other subcultures.
If everyone can control their own experience on Nostr, what would keep queers, Muslims, Instagram queens, warmongers, magic monetary theorists, radfems, communists, etc. from making themselves a comfy corner and hanging out there, in peace?
Nothing.
That shouldn't be a problem since you can filter your own feed on #nostr It should be and in current format is a place for "everyone".
It's not, tho.
There are a couple of dominant subgroups who make up almost all of the posts and who have trolls who go around yelling at everyone who doesn't conform, without having to deal with the same treatment because there's hardly anyone on the other end of any argument.
They talk a big talk about free speech, but if everything on here was 🌈 and Dogecoin stuff, they would immediately leave and not come back.
Isn't that the ideia? Everyone can create their little circle/corner and be with their tribe. Actually Google had their social network where this was visually cool to see where you had circles and you would choose who was in each circle and to wich circles you wanted to post.
Yeah, we were talking about Google circles a few weeks ago. That was back before Google became evil. 😂
In Fediverse there are some apps that kept a bit of the concept, Diaspora with "aspects" and Hubzilla were you have one account and diferent "channels" where you post different content and topics, so people can just follow one channel and not another from you. Always liked this approaches.
It would be interesting to see a client where by default, only content from people you follow and people that are members of moderated groups that you are a member of would be shown.
That way you could be a member of a targeted group and have your conversations, but comments from outside the group would be muted. You can switch to any other client if you want to see the unfiltered.
You can--at least on #Primal desktop. You have an "Explore" option where you can see notes from only your follows, or your follows and people they follow, or global.
It's one of the best things about #Primal that I like (and use frequently).
Give it a try... 😃
That's not persistent down the threads, I think. It's just the OPs that are filtered. Most clients have that.
Yeah, that would be nice.
Whitelisting, instead of blacklisting.
Invites instead of mutes.
If there are 50 of you and 5000 of them, it's silly to tell the 50 to each just mute the 5000 by hand.
