No limits on free speech means you'll have to wade through tons of disgusting pictures trying to block the assholes that post them. In the end, you'll likely just leave.

It's basically like saying "anything can be considered food by someone, so we can't limit what people throw into our shared goulash". Some people WILL start pissing, shitting and vomiting into the pot.

It. Doesn't. Work. So. Simply.

I think this is a mindset brought from other social media. Global is not a curated feed. The adventurous can go there, but it’s purpose is not to entertain- it’s not Twitter.

I have a feed jam packed full of entertaining content and valuable entertainment built by searching, following mutuals, and a light smattering of muted from people who butt into things.

Using Nostr requires unlearning the curated feed mindset, but that doesn’t make it any less effective.

This is what I don’t understand.

You follow people because they have content you look to read etc.

If someone you follow goes off the rails you unfollow. You build a web of trust.

It’s not a free for all where you are forced to look at anything and everything. That view is FUD by those who want to control your feed.

That's mostly true. What I said was for any type of global feed, and that indeed isn't the main modenof interaction on nostr. I guess I'm still on twatter too much.

Anyone who follows you, can still spam your feed with garbage replies. The problem gets a lot smaller though.
