On free services, monetisation comes from advertising. Algorithms optimise for monetisation. Optimising for monetisation = optimising for for clicks. Optimising for clicks = optimising for engagement Optimising for engagement = optimising for division. Optimising for division = engineering outrage. Open your phone and to yell at people on the Internet—it makes money (for everyone but you). And we wonder why we can't all get along. Tune out, use Nostr. You'll own yourself and be happy.

One of the other nice things Nostr can and will solve is chat apps & social networks that need phone numbers — no more!
