Nostr Web Client

This meme is a bit tongue in cheek, but not entirely. I think the term “echo chamber” gets misused and thrown around like other terms that sound virtuous but are really only meant to shut up people you disagree with. Who honestly wants to live their life in constant controversy, dueling with everyone around them? Finding peace in what you believe, living true to yourself, and enjoying life with other like-minded people sounds amazing to me, and it doesn’t preclude you from being challenged and growing. The great thing about an open protocol like Nostr is that anyone can cultivate whatever social environment they want with others who want a similar experience. You don’t have to behave any particular way on Nostr; only perhaps on certain relays.

I disagree. I see a clear tendency of many people denying reality, not interested in a diverse perspective and just sticking to those people that confirm their views. I think it's a real problem of society but then again everybody is free to choose to stay in their little world.

It’s a lot easier to persuade a friend than a stranger on the internet, don’t you agree?

People first strive for belonging, and then they can have fun and play with new ideas in a safe community space.

Sure, but rarely people step outside their comfort zone. And I am not saying that you can be part of a community (which by definition shares a lot of your beliefs)

When do they step outside their comfort zone? How often people change their minds when they’re confronted on the internet for everyone to see? I bet it easier to do it in the dms.
