I think it's so many things. Nostr and Bitcoin/zaps changes everything. No algorithm to reward negativity and instead a financial reward for bringing someone value.

If you're a Negative Ned, a perv, rude, etc people will just mute you. And you miss out on all that fun of Nostr and zaps.

Nostr is rehab from legacy social media. This forces us to be decent in a way that the last two decades has proved rules can't.

And I think people are coming here with good intentions. So all these incentives to be good actually kept us good.

Very well-said! I agree that the existing ethos probably attracts some of the best people. Even so, with a pretty diverse user base at this point, I’ve been very pleased to see that the majority of people are still generally “good” 🫂
