For now the whole nostr atmosphere creates big pressure to just behave kindly to others. I also blame TT algorithm for bringing out what's worst in people.

It's also because of Zaps, IMO. For the most part, if you're a dick constantly, you're not going to get Zapped, unless other dicks find your trolling and humor funny. Either way, the positive Zaps will always outweigh the negative Zaps.
some interesting philosophical stances here. maybe just one stance — that the good will prevail over the evil.
The size of the dick economy likely pales in comparison to the girth of the market for sharing helpful information.
This is also most likely an accurate dick joke. As Nostr grows, more bad actors will show up, that's inevitable. Reputation and Zaps matter though. We'll see how it goes.
