When I tried to bring a friend of mine into the nostrums, he said to me, this is going to become a honeypot very quickly, and every day I'm more and more right, but this only happens because of idolatry, people need leaders to support their ideas, because it's always easier to think in other people's heads than to think in your own.

This only makes intelligent people in our midst less and less willing to share your ideas and, as we say here in Portugal, "let the house burn". I have mixed feelings about #nostr, but the truth is that I'm less and less willing to share different ideas and different points of view, because the truth is that if it's not name A, B or C saying them, nobody cares.

Why not take advantage of the brilliant minds that have emerged here to engage in productive dialog and listen only to those who have already proven to be unreliable?

It's amazing how easy it is to fool people for those who know how to sell narratives. Fallacies are used all the time, and valuable ideas are brushed aside and seem to be sensored by a few clients and a few relays.

There's still time to cure #nostr, but it takes work, it takes people doing their own research and not taking it for granted just because A, B or C said so.

We're better than that, but lately the spirit that brought me here has been lost.

Is #nostr getting to big to be cured?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

My experience is that NOSTR is more open to more ideas with less prejudice than existing platforms. Individual relays can censor as they wish, but there are many relays. No message can be muted unless the recipient chooses.

Yes there are users with large followings and users with small followings. Larger followed users are heard by more people, but we each find our audience and our groups.

Obtaining a large following requires effort, either through previously earned reuptation or building your reputation on a platform such as this.

Nostr, like all social media tools is what you make of it. Nostr only promises your uncensored content and free speech, nothing more.

You have no right to be heard only a right not to be censored.

It's often people with a large following who self-censor, perhaps for fear of reprisals or fear that their followers will lose interest, I don't know. I'd rather think that than other factors.

But there's one thing I've learned: with great power comes great responsibility, and the people with the most influence should take that into consideration.

When I first came here, the ideas were multi-faceted, today they seem to follow a script.

I dont have anything massivley valuable to add, but I certainly have noticed a change in the vibe, its feeling more... "clicky"

I dont post anything groundbreaking , but its hard to spark a conversation these days. Its hard to find a conversation to join.

I pobably need to embrace communities, reduce my follows, and just find a niche of people... but yeah not sure. Going through a bearish phase recently.

I feel that change, and i talked because of that feeling, and i will always talk about what i feel, and try to bring different ideas, principally the ideas that nobody wants to talk.

different strokes for different folks. some peeps process information in a certain ways. its great to have a subjective approach, i know i do. others need objective data from proven sources. i have the latter as a hammer in my back pocket to bring it home for them. i dont think this is a problem per se its a natural dichotomy.

You are a good one here, and one that makes this place a better place ๐Ÿ–คโœŒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค

Leave nostr and goto that other thing without censorship & offers freedom. You clearly say you are not getting that here.

Iโ€™m one of the diversity that refuses to leave and refuses to shut, so im not gonna leave it, im going to do my part so this place doesnโ€™t be a monologue

I fail to see how your voice is different than others here on nostr. I only see some complaining and comments on how others are same monologue but i hear no other alternate monologue nor alternate opinions from you.

You just making stuff up?

You'll have to pay more attention then.

And there are topics I don't even talk about anymore because of what I said earlier.

Maybe one day I'll speak again when the community is ready and more open-minded.

But you can always go back to the timeline and look for my opinions.

I make a lot of things up, or maybe I've checked so many things that for those who don't check nothing, they're just inventions.

Gotchya, so you are self cenosoring now since others here dont make you feel free.

That's not the point, the point is that I don't have to prove anything to anyone but myself, and if there's one thing I don't like, it's wasting time talking to walls.

Sorry for trying to understand your side and points. Have a fantastic day.

I think you understand now, so have a fantastic day too. ๐Ÿค

then you fail.

what of it?
