And now do Main Volume and his racist and misogynistic slurs. Nostr has lots of bots. I’ve read the thread carefully. You want your idea of free speech and being against "leftist thoughts“ and other nonsense to be seen as normal? So let others have their protection from it. That’s a lot of reframing while you’re promoting a thicker skin that you obviously don’t have yourself. If you’ve talked about the topic without insults, I would have tried to believe in your noble efforts to save us all from the wrong bots. Now, I'll mute you, and happily try other methods to avoid wasting time on your dull content.
Discussion
Agree. Many Nostr advocates will talk about freedom of speech, while working to ensure that community continues to be an echo chamber for bitcoiners and people with certain political leanings.
This is also why there is so much resistance to tweaks to the platform that would attract a more diverse user base in terms of interests and content. The Nostr community then has the nerve to act clueless about why Nostr doesn’t have more mainstream appeal.
I can find more varied content and discussions on traditional social media, which is ironic considering nostriches view Nostr as a bastion of freedom of thought/speech. Even when reading comment threads on Nostr, I rarely see differing opinions or perspectives shared. There is also a lack of nuance in the opinions offered. The community is very homogeneous and that’s a problem and boring quite frankly.
I agree with you that noster can get very boring but at what point has the community ever tried to hinder growth?
