it should be obvious but making a trending feed for nostr instantly narrows it into a twitter bullshitfest

it doesn't seem to be obvious to some people but i saw it right at the beginning, and this "circle jerk" appearance of a small set of popular nostr client devs grated on my gears so hard it made me mad, and i've heard other people say the same thing

so, i have a proposal

let's petition, and shame, to add to the weight of this, how nostr onboarding is being impeded because of this centralisation of the feed by these idiots using trending indicators to filter feeds

it should not be default, at least!

this is not twitter, and will never compete with twitter, the whole point of it is that it is so much more than twitter, threads, facebook, instagram, soundcloud, bandcamp, youtube, all rolled into one, just that right now, those marginal use cases are being swamped by this idiotic reinforcement of popularity as a means to more popularity
