Please dear nostriches, I sincerely ask you from the bottom of my heart, please let's not do politics BS on Nostr.
Let's have at least one more month full of bliss and bullishness before this place turns into a normie-infested hell hole full of hatred and groupthink.
Cheers to that.
You can ask but you can't stop.
There's no such thing as staying out of politics and Bitcoin is a political tool.
How am I supposed to know which bathroom to use then?
Home feed probably safe for that, unless you want to venture on the wild west and the 'beauty' of global feed 😅
Just unfollow when it gets crazy. Eventually, enough people might unfollow the person, and they'll go back to their designated radicalized part of the internet.
I agree though, posts here are set in stone. The absolute worst place for politics.
The level of content control Nostr provides is such a game changer for me. I can tune in to other Nostriches on specific topics of shared interests without being baited in other directions by an opaque algorithm.
If politics starts to loudly dominate a thread or poster, I can just step away from that voice to regain the signal I’m searching for.
As a result, Nostr feels quite different from Twitter scrolling. More valuable info.
I just love how certain maxis love to talk about politics and no big deal, until someone that is no them start talking about the politics and suddenly is wrong talk about politics. Im not saying that you are that kind of people, but just love that pattern.
Ser, we have flat earthers already, apart from the bots
I think we’re well past the groupthink phase .
And really, isn’t this where we’re headed with the protocol ?
Not the groupthink, I mean, if history repeats itself, it’ll be first adopted by the plebs and the weirdos being silenced elsewhere will follow
Ooo I’d love a noteid to one of these. These guys are the worlds best Internet trolls even though many don’t realize!
I won't make promises I can't keep… but I shall let you be blissful.
High caliber trolling including political satire is my shtick. I’ll try to keep it neutral and classy à la Jonathan Swift. But really, once this private island opens up to the masses, the real trolls and scammers will come.
While I very much understand your point, the reality here is that even using nostr is inherently political. It doesn't necessarily fall into the everyday political chatter, but it's design, it's censorship resistance, is political.
Being opposed to censorship doesn't necessarily fall into any one specific political ideology. In fact, many ideologies can rightfully have some claim to censorship opposition. But, opposition to censorship, regardless of who is promoting it, is a reaction to censorship, be it State or corporate.
This is inherently political simply because much of the body politic promotes and attempts to engage in censorship.
All of that being said, but being flooded with party politics is pretty nice right now.
Honeymoon periods are the best. A long, long time ago, there was a local winery that was a nice place to hang out. Then one day a group of loud normies showed up from the nearby city. The secret was out and that winery was never the same.
