Oh shoot. I forgot. This whole nostr movement might be a good opportunity to fix one of the main issues with all social media - how they force unidimensionality on everyone.

Basically, me (and all of us) are multidimensional human beings. I'm not *just* a developer or Bitcoin maxi, etc. There is more to me than that, that I'd like to share. But most people will not be interested in other aspects of me. They might want to see only technical posts etc. And then stop following me, as I produce posts they don't care about.

This forces everyone that wants to have any reach to be... just a one-topic pony. You only post about one area. Sure you could have multiple IDs, but that's not very practical.

I wish that users could have "personas" and select persona to post to when posting stuff, and then be able to follow only subset of personas of people they want to follow. Sure, I love your technical posts, but don't want to see your stupid political opinions (and vice versa, I guess), or I don't care about your hiking trips, or taste in cars, etc. If you could post your technical content under "dev" persona, I could follow that and I wouldn't have to unfollow you altogether.

100%! I like your paraphrasing of the 'one-topic pony'! 👍
