I've enjoy my interactions with quite a lot of people here in Nostr. Yes agree with you. Current population of Nostr users are closer to Bitcoin enthusiasts. This might change eventually. Well, at least for me, i can found new interesting content (a lot of topic) easier in Global feed 😄
Discussion
I joined Twitter in the early days and for the first couple of years most of the discussion was about how great Twitter was. It was super polite too. If Nostr becomes as popular as Twitter (or even half as popular) there's no way this type of discussion or the level of politeness continues.
Yes, i like the vibes here mostly people try to engage in a good discussion. Sure, more people come will bring more ideas, views, stances which somehow will brings a kind of fraction later.
Honestly, the difference is not the problem as long as it is delivered by good discussion, logical arguments, or reasonable explanation. The problem is more about people who picks insults or personal attack whenever they give up to present their ideas properly in civilized manner.
Hopefully, at least we won't be like that :)
I think what we see is very subjective. Smaller communities are often able to self regulate better. But we need tools that let us have many communities on the protocol who don’t all have to agree. And those communities, informal or formal, need to be able to define their own norms and rules with boundaries to enforce them.
That could be a community of people who are bitcoin maximalists, solar punks, or drag queens. What matters is that users can find their people, and maybe somebody is a solar punk bitcoiner drag queen. But each of those contexts are different, with different ideas of acceptable behavior.
Personally, I want to be able to use nostr and not have to see this kind of stuff: https://snort.social/search/rape and https://snort.social/search/faggot
