algorithms controlled by a centralized provider try to fuel outrage/division to keep you engaged/stressed/looking
that way they get to serve more ads and make more money
nostr is diff. algorithms will come, but youâll always have choice of which ones you want to use so they will be designed to serve your goals
The problem is anytime you talk about ways to moderate content (which is what filtering algorithms are) people on Nostr yell âCENSORSHIPâ and the conversation goes nowhere.
People need to realize that bottom-up content moderation isnât censorship.
Case and point is the PR for âNIP-69â which simply defines a standardized vocabulary for NIP-36 & NIP-56 and people are pushing back on it. They openly say it worries them, but canât describe exactly what the problem is. Thatâs just fear. If they give it some thought theyâll see bottom-up isnât censorshipâŠ
