I’m not proposing any censorship, just tools that make it possible to indicate some non-obvious things like “I didn’t even read this thing” or “I’m baiting you with an old article”
Ratings are easily manipulated and will skew to whatever group makes up the larger portion of the network.
Imagine 2 people discussing some recent issue and one makes a statement supported by an old irrelevant article. We don’t need to censor anything but could say “hey this thing you’re about to spend time reading is old”.
This is just one of many ideas we could come up with - and may not even be a great one, who knows! Just having some ideas kicked around might be good
Agreed, ideas are always good and discussing on them is just the process of creating information.

Maybe Nostrica or future nostr meetups can have a segment on the ethics of social media design 🤷♂️
We should have online events as well, apart from all the regular spaces and podcasts. Or maybe make the online community more integrated with events like nostrica.
Another idea: introduce a delay in how fast engagement metrics start showing - so people don’t wait around to see who likes their notes
Imagine the cumulative number of lost sleep from people sending notes at night and staying awake to see who liked their note
I typed in a message sent it but it didn’t go through 🤔.
Anyways I agree with the problem and I know it’s addictive like a, but sometimes you just like your drugs 🤷♂️. So an option to turn it off would be a nice to have.
Yea options would be great. Maybe default friendly and enable your drugs
This is exactly what would immediately lead m
e out of such a client.
Exactly at the opposite of the early internet you are speaking about IMO
I don't need to be hold by the hand to know what's relevant or not
This kind of "did you read the article you are sharing or liking" feels so distopian
The great thing about nostr is that the same content can be presented both ways in different clients. Normies like to have that kind of thing made obvious.
