Writing something critical or analytical on Nostr is starting to leave me feeling like in those dreams where you're giving a public speech and everyone is staring at you like you're a crazy person, and then you look down and see that you're naked.

Sounds like ego

Everyone who is writing something publicly is exposed to whatever staring. Relax, you are neither crazy or naked

I can deal with disagreement, but everyone just standing around, staring at me in mild horror and disgust because we are all wearing good vibes, now, is mildly depressing.

I really noticed it, this week, with Semi and Will making really mild, polite, comments about someone else's algo or architectural decision and everyone like, NOSTR FIGHT CLUB!

Oh, good grief.

That was the first major spark of intellectual rigor we've seen on here, in months. Otherwise, the feed increasingly looks like a string of cheesy press releases and transparent marketing tossed out to the adoring fans and approvingly zapped by the Big Men who run this show.

Like we've recreated Twitter, but with only half of each debate, because the other half gives us bad feels and makes us feel unsafe.

Unsafe?

A lot of people feel unsafe when they read opinions they haven't encountered before.

Ah, ok.

Usually unsafe means there are at least threats.

Anyway stay calm and you will manage.

Unfamiliar opinions are always considered a threat.

intellectual cowards are the worst kind, at least you can beat a coward when he refuses to fight

it is the free speech back side isn't it ?

News, noise, nonsense, notable, notorious... all in one #nostr network.

You just need more effort to clean the things and npub you consider as dust.

you really care?

Yes, because most of our team doesn't even bother engaging on here, anymore. I'm the last holdout and it's like.... Why do I bother making the effort? It actually takes a lot of time and intellectual energy, and makes me look mean.

Most of the devs on here just want to talk amongst themselves in public to market their ideas and show activity to their paymasters. They aren't looking for constructive feedback. They aren't used to receiving it and they're just offended by it.

I can also just shut up and code.

I believe you're not the kind of person who would just quit. You gotta do what you gotta do. 🫂

i thought it was the audience that's naked..?

that's what you're supposed to imagine when giving a speech, not what you dream about

*meow*

silly me :3

so imagine naked people, not of dream them..?
