ideas so robust and battle tested
they thrive only in unchallenged echo chambers π€‘

Kanzan you might be the stupidest mf on here. Good job with that.

aren't YOU the one calling someone stupid for criticizing echo chambers

Says the guy who doesn't understand the value or physics of high-trust, voluntary archipelagos in a sparsely-connected decentralized network.
"fully connect all the nodes!" is a retarded, centralizer's take.
to be clear, I still follow you and don't have you muted.
seems like non sequitur word salad
so okay I guess
Which part of it don't you understand?
In a decentralized network operating over an open protocol, any given node can decide to associate with whatever other nodes it wishes. Some of those nodes will choose to associate with others that it trusts and values, opting to ignore nodes it doesn't value. you can call that an "echo chamber" if you want, but that's up to the node itself - not up to you. If it wants to (maybe temporarily) get a window into "the whole network" (to the extent that it knows about every other node) it can do that (See "Global feed").
It seems to bother you that some nodes will choose to isolate themselves. Like maybe you want the protocol to enforce full-connectivity (nobody is allowed to be in their own echo chamber, even if they want to). I'm struggling to square this impulse with your simultaneous appreciation for the open, decentralized nature of nostr.
Where am I confused about you? Am I making some incorrect assumptions?
I didn't say he *shouldn't be allowed* to isolate himself if he wants.
i said it's a stupid thing to do.
which it is.
because ideas are refined through debate and conflict
and misconceptions thrive in solitary.
