There's a media figure/controversialist with a controversial interview, being shared on the 'big social media'.

I know about it because one of their algorithms recommended a video of someone commenting about the interview.

I don't have a problem with the content of the video, because I think a cure for nonsense is so much nonsense the default position is scepticism. Freedom of speech can work. I haven't watched the video or the responses to it for the same reason I don't watch dogs taking shits.

But, I suppose the point I'm making is, at least on this side of the Atlantic, there has been a concerted push towards regulation of social media because of fears about misinformation, state involvement and harm to young people.

I haven't been recommended anything like that on Nostr because it doesn't. I'd have to specifically seek it out rather than having it pointed at me. If it did I could change client. I'm not tied to doing things one way. It's as easy as any other social media. Amethyst just works (on this phone at least).

The video got a reaction out of me, which is what the 'big social media' algorithm wanted but I'm not given them the benefit of a reaction on big social media.

Disengage with Nostr. Get a techy to hep if stuck (lots of ways to get on Nostr):
