Even Dark Art Deco Nostrich

There’s a relay for every style.

Nostr is a bespoke protocol for everyone

Plebs be zapping on Nostr like

Exactly. When people accuse others of “just wanting an echo chamber” what they are really saying is “I don’t want you to disagree with me.” They falsely think that every viewpoint can be hashed out enough that both sides will come to some middle ground. Middle grounds are not always possible. It’s why friendships end, partnerships are broken, marriages dissolve, and so on. Sometimes we simply, perhaps painfully, disagree. At the point I become resolute enough in my worldview to know it’s the way I want to live, I don’t need to hash out every foundational principle over and over. I’m happy to share my perspectives with those who are curious, and I may be curious enough about someone else’s differing views to learn more about them, but ultimately if someone disagrees they disagree. My life is too short to try and militantly impose my views on a person until they feign agreement, or to allow others to do the same to me, especially strangers online day in and day out. Unfollow, mute, block, whatever, and move on.

This meme is a bit tongue in cheek, but not entirely. I think the term “echo chamber” gets misused and thrown around like other terms that sound virtuous but are really only meant to shut up people you disagree with. Who honestly wants to live their life in constant controversy, dueling with everyone around them? Finding peace in what you believe, living true to yourself, and enjoying life with other like-minded people sounds amazing to me, and it doesn’t preclude you from being challenged and growing. The great thing about an open protocol like Nostr is that anyone can cultivate whatever social environment they want with others who want a similar experience. You don’t have to behave any particular way on Nostr; only perhaps on certain relays.
