All social media sucks, but at least people in NOSTR are out or leaving the matrix
And content here is more unique 💜

Social media controlled by sociopathic Algos designed for maximum rage engagement are so much worse than an open protocol where users are in control.
The bootstrap of this network takes a bit longer, and it’s overwhelming to figure out for new users that have always been spoon fed slop, but I love the direction this is headed.
I agree
Content and engagement is so much better. I get chest pains even glancing at X or Telegram, I feel a true brotherhood here on Nostr and it lifts my spirits every day.
Unfortunately, if Nostr grows considerably larger, the quality will suffer. People seem to envision the same type of people, content, and engagement we have now but on the scale of X.
Not possible.
We simply have better quality people here living at a much higher level. I do hope it grows and evolves, but it can only be:
1. A niche group of higher quality humans
or....
2. Exactly like X but on Nostr
That's just the reality of human nature.
Exactly
We are probably living the Best time to enjoy NOSTR
A small community full of bitcoiners mind related people
It feels great to enjoy it with you brothers
I believe that about Nostr as well. This is the golden age of Nostr, when a small percentage of high-level people, seeking more from life than most, gathered to share our lives and our thoughts for reshaping the future.
Unfortunately, you can't reshape human nature. We're bound by those limits.
You can have a small group of excellence, or a large group of average, but by definition you can't have both.
I love this small group of excellence. I'll stay as long as it lasts, and if it comes to an end, we'll build a new one and start a new golden age.
You are the algorithm here, so it will never turn into a shitshow if you don't want it to ✌️
Well we certainly do get much better control here. I hope the great quality lasts.
