Subnostr

There is a difference in the network effect of Bitcoin and Nostr.

With Bitcoin, nearly everyone is in the accumulation phase and would prefer the price to stay low so we can buy more, even while we hope it moves toward world domination.

With Nostr, we mostly all recognize the power of the network effect and expect to experience significant benefits as it grows, and the sooner the better.

Well said.

Being a bit of a pessimist I hope that the unwashed masses don't come here and make nostr into a cesspool.

It seems to happen with everything that gets mass adoption.

The nice thing about nostr is that it's open, so good filters can be made.

I imagine in the future one could subscribe to curated block lists like what ublockorigin has.

Blocking based on keywords like the "N" word for example.

Maybe even some sort of reputation scoring (kinda creepy)

Yes, it's early days and just like the internet and email, it is reasonable to expect it will have more unsavory sides. To some extent, that reality has already manifested.

What I hope is that there is always room for good.
