Nostr is getting toxic to an extent. Makes me sad really, but inevitable I guess.

In what way? Do you think it’s due to wider political tension in the US or is it unrelated?
Just curious. Then been a lot going on, the riots in the UK have revealed quite a lot as well.
Multiple, politics is part of it but not most, hard to explain really.
It might just be a cycle, I feel like the Fediverse definitely has periods of drama followed by calm.
I wonder if price action also plays a factor? I guess it’s probably lots of things but I guess my point is, it may bounce back a bit once events outside the computer change.
I disagree on toxicity being necessarily a bad thing. It is often a « good reason » for censorship. On Nostr, you can choose to be toxic… and everybody will end up blocking you. The way it should be. If Nosrr must be a true reflection of the world, that must include the dark side of humanity as well. When you think about it, being a true freedom of speech space, considered most people keep their unpopular opinion to themselves, Nostr could be even worse in terms of the tone of content.
Block function helps 🙏🙏🙏
