Imho what the left needs is a strong suite of relays level mod tools. We also just generally need the ability to load up a pre-configured starter list of follows and relays. I imagine various left wing relay circles and friend groups that actually do not interact with btc Mucha all
Also, it’s time for me to write again. This time I’ll focus on purple-pilling the left on #nostr, and why they’re wrong to think censorship resistant, open protocols for social media (and more) is dangerous or for right wing neo-nazi’s, etc
I’ll probably reach out to get some statements from many of you nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1rscuek38p87xeawmpg9ssump8cjkgmz2j3rhnha4artvh0xjacwq9upeqk nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u nostr:npub18jgxqshg38cgzcv43zvqhnc7hjn223psy2kkmkpqt2azd9thyy4sxjc5gt nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx nostr:npub1hte85nxymfyez0nlmmxf287nh9cujfuetxhk9vptwcdqg0pn8pxqxasw3d

Discussion
One of the biggest barriers with nostr right now is the algorithms are not complex, so it feels like a private clubhouse. It reminds me of an old forum but if it was in twitter format. It works best for a small subculture. It needs the ability to interconnect many such islands and nurture unique, distict view points.
This is such a bad take.
The left always want their algorithms to project their views into other subcultures.
How about ‘apoliticals’… in other words normal people just don’t want algorithms and they want a feed that only projects posts the subculture they interested in/people they follow! 🤷♂️ NOSTR is great for that!
How about an algorithm/filter settings I can implement for myself? I like the automated convenience of seeing the content I want seamlessly on my feed- I just don't want it dictated to me with out options or alternatives.
You are here because your values are very different from the average twitter user. The only reason those twitter users are interested in leaving twitter is orange man, I mean elon bad.
Perfect! Sounds like self-sovereignty and that will be built out in the NOSTR open source ecosystem
Yes. I would not accept anything less- and given choice between the two I'm willing to go the extra mile.
Even so I regularly miss updates from accounts I like here.
I see people outside the main circle of conversation regularly get low engagement and leave. This is even among butcoiners...never mind onboarding other groups.
Bad maybe.... but the friction of discoverability on here is high- it needs some solution. I have to check many of my favorite people manually when I log in. I'm a motivated user... but this is a barrier to on boarding
