Everytime people join a new social media app like bluesky, nostr, scuttlebutt, mastodon, or originally twitter, there is this utopian feeling of how wonderful and nice it all is. I made a video about that, understanding the dynamic and how to keep it alive.

I think we can design some systems that work better than the centralized social media platforms which went from utopia to dystopia.

Thank you for sharing!

WOW,Wonderful sharing,I love your purple hair

Interesting thoughts! What kinda of tools do you feel would aid in the type of environment you envision?

I agree that inclusiveness is important and that we’d all be better if everyone behaved well, but it’s it the nature of this protocol that makes it inherently difficult to enforce any type of standards? I mean, perhaps it could be done on a client by client basis but people can just clone their own versions and carry on as they please.

I’m curious what kind of balance could exist while maintaining the decentralized and censorship-resistant features of nostr?
