Is this not exactly what centralized platforms use to orient their algorithms? In that case not only by mapping the collective cognitive model but also by locating the individual users in close proximity to their preferential connection points? Therefore providing the most probable certainties to those who wish to push targeted messages and ads, or maximize engagement time?

you can choose to use these things or not. without giving up nostr.

there's no reason you can't keep exactly the same experience you have today, no matter what anyone else builds.

My comment wasn’t regarding whether its use was voluntary. It was in respect to the fact the post called it a human minds connector that was being built on Nostr, which I interpreted as a statement of its novelty. But it’s not novel, except for the fact it’s being built on Nostr.

A way it *could* be novel is by opening the weights to each user and providing them with tooling so that they can explore the full cognitive model and curate their own preferred content.

Yes, and building it here means that sort of thing (subjective weights in the user's hands) is a given. the "built on nostr" part packages in a lot.
