Really? Just load up a relay? That's basically the equivalent of clicking the old "I feel lucky" on Google. Without a search prompt.
There needs to be *some* kind of filtration function. I agree "follows" aren't great -- this is sort of a Twitter model. Which was originally built by a bunch of people who knew eachother IRL, and only later became the sort of "micro-celebrity" model we have today.
Reddit has always worked better for me because it's content organized by *subject*, not any particular person or set of people.
But the great thing about Nostr is that it can be all of this, but decentralized and with unstoppable monetization.

Also "just follow curated, moderated relays" = Mastodon. Change my mind!
The penny has dropped.
Following subjects, as well as people. Payment channels. Developers channels. Permitted to censure others, without being booted off the platform. A self help through sharing experiences . A marketplace.
This is the anything, everything platform. All under the umbrella of free speech.
Feasible and its happening.
I fucking love Nostr.
