The most frightening thing I heard this week is that social media is accelerating the split of the human race into two subspecies. All the more reason on doubling down on creating a neutral socioeconomic protocol like #nostr

I would question whether making neutral protocol for anything leads to decrease in polarization. You can see with nostr, bitcoin and other liberty tech that it gets selectively adopted by one faction, while the oposite faction rejects it.

What we call neutral in this context is actually a political stance (often explicit).

It probably doesn't decrease polarization that otherwise would happen. All it does is lessen the possibility of centralized actors fomenting an even worse outcome.
