Couldn't agree more! We have to decide what gets our attention. We can redesign social media completely. We don't need follows. We need intentionally designed roles and spaces for interaction in the digital world.

We're building this on nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne! Blocks, Neighborhoods, the City, and the Wilds!

Everyone you meet is a stranger unless you add them as a contact. Then you can put them on your block (where you see only accounts and activity of 21 people), your neighborhood (same concept as block but no # cap), the city (all NextBlock citizens - we aren't "users", or the Wilds which is all of Nostr).

So someone is either a stranger, contact, or neighbor.

You can also visit other people's neighborhoods! So less labor on your part of you want to trust someone else to be in charge of what you see for a bit.

Lots more to our design on how we think Nostr works without an algorithm. Please do check us out if you have time!
