Nostr is a city.
It feels nice and peaceful right now because the demographic is homogenous.
Pure homogeneity can lead to stagnation and atrophy since no muscles are being challenged. This is unsustainable.
Twitter farmed engagement from intentionally causing conflict. Strategy of tension. Clearly this is also unsustainable.
It will be interesting to see if Nostr can attract the right balance demographics to survive and thrive.
Well put! 🎯

Will homogeneity actually cause Nostr to not survive though? I agree it won’t thrive as a homogeneous btc only echo chamber, but it seems anyone can keep Nostr alive so long as >1 peers are interested, like btc.
Would be hard to describe it as surviving if only 2 people used it. Civilization requires a lot of high quality people.
FukU!
Well, it's a start.

Instead of artificially creating conflict, focus on superordinate goals like freedom or peace and build towards that as journeymen.

Agreed. That’s why we ought to diversify the topics being discussed.
No no, I'm sure everyone can just keep talking about Bitcoin and it will all work out
The problem is that if anyone talks about the actual issues, like blacks committing violent crime, corrupt Soros DAs letting them go, and pedophiles running our government, everyone panics and immediately reverts back to "burn the witch!" mode.

So what you're saying is you want more trannies on Nostr
Yep, don't hold back.
I think the next evolution of nostr is to figure out how to org communities of interest. Which set of relays do you include to keep up with your knitting circle?
