This is a really great point by nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z about community.
People go to BlueSky because they want a “safe” community of leftists (politicians, journalists, celebrities, and normal people) who all agree with each other and think X is for Nazis and Elon is the antichrist. On Bluesky, their views will not be challenged, because they are the same as everyone else’s. They do not need to worry about being confronted with uncomfortable truths. There is “diversity,” but no diversity.
People go to Threads because they want a “safe” community of leftists (politicians, journalists, celebrities, and normal people) who all agree with each other and think X is for Nazis and Elon is the antichrist. On Threads, their views will not be challenged, because they are the same as everyone else’s. They do not need to worry about being confronted with uncomfortable truths. There is “diversity,” but no diversity.
People go to [INSERT NOSTR CLIENT] because they know it an “unsafe” community of people who cannot be defined by a single political label, comprised of plebs, technologists, dissidents, legit cypherpunks, anarchists, entrepreneurs, Bitcoiners, open-source devs, artists, podcasters, creators, activists, and more.
On Nostr, people expect to be challenged, because there are no guardrails. They expect to encounter views that clash with their own. They expect to be uncomfortable at times.
Nostr enables confrontational truth (paraphrasing nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft )
There is “diversity,” but there is also diversity. nostr:note152609lgkamcey5kq5qka6y4023kh7cxxvg54gkn0hpndm6k0cfzsjcta3z
