Even though with Nostr you’re free to say what would get you banned on legacy social media, I find that I’m actually LESS inclined to say such things now that I use Nostr.

For three reasons:

1. No delete

2. No outrage algo that’s constantly irritating you and training you to say more violent, bannable, etc things.

3. Freedom tech is empowering. The more you use it, the less impulse you’ll feel to lash out against the tyrants. Sly roundabout way all day. 😎

Agreed. I would also add, nostr changes the incintives. Govt. controlled, corporate social media makes people mean because mean people get more likes and keep more eyeballs glued to the ads.

Nostr rewards you with zaps, so you would rather spend time helping people to earn sats instead of be a jerk to earn likes.

Very true!

That is often the list I work through in my head when thinking about posting. It’s the way social media should be.
