Nostr Web Client

Seems like I'm in the vocal minority on this but I think social interaction ought have some friction and mirror how real world interactions occur. If we are using algo training wheels, it cheapens the interaction and discovery process. That leads us down the path of shitty inauthentic content catered towards algo discovery over human discovery.

Its my opinion that yes, you should be intentional about when and what you post. The digital world we live in warps the natural order of social interaction. Nostr has been a haven from that.

By implementing algos it opens the door to manipulation. Has everyone already forgotten the outcry against primal trending? If we let nostr be human powered then people need to put in some work to renote the things they want heard, when they want them heard.

Algo powered platforms already exist, why are we trying to be like everyone else? IDGAF if everyone hears my shitty takes. Those who want to interact with me will. If you miss a note from me, so be it. If it's important I can boost my own note later. If you see something you want others to see too, come back and boost it when you know the specific audience is online.

Why do we have to be everything to everyone at all times?

I’m completely happy with a chronological feed from npubs and hashtags I follow.

Same.

I have some npubs that I end up missing a lot of notes from who I genuinely want to hear from. When I do come across them, sometimes I go and scroll their profile (a tiny bit of PoW). It's sort of like catching up with a friend I haven't talked to in ages. That dopamine hits different than if I were inundated by their "top posts" constantly, which i otherwise wouldnt do. To me this is a feature not a bug.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Its that sorta thing.

I do this too. I have a handful of people that I will look at their profile regularly to see what I've missed. I don't rely on my feed or my follow list. it's a bit like memorizing someone's phone number. I do feel a closer connection with them than other people I meet online.
