Nostr Web Client

I’m not disagreeing with you. Their algorithms can be harmful. It doesn’t make algorithms bad per se though. I don’t want to get into the psychology of humans, but you can easily get sucked into things that are bad for your mental health just from the people you follow or listen to.

I’m just saying, never having an algorithm is limiting and a waste to any social app. A good algorithm will show you things or people you like, or things that you might not like but challenge you in a healthy way. This is all very subjective, but I’ve discovered a lot of incredible people, music and channels because of algorithms on YouTube, for example.

For me personally, I find that there’s a big part of personal responsibility on nostr. I had to follow more accounts I found interesting and interacted with those accounts regularly in order to get something interesting out of the experience.

You can let the Twitter algorithm do that for you, or you can do it yourself on nostr. It takes some effort but it’s rewarding.

I totally agree with you for music on YouTube or Apple Music. Definitely discovered lots of music that way.
