I'm not so sure. On Nostr, you don't have Faglon's or Zukerfag's algorithm helping push influencer slop on the time line and literally funding them. You gotta work much harder than being an influencer here on Nostr if you wanna get paid. At least currently that's how it is.

Quite a few apps / clients have covert censonship / covert algos, they call it web of trust. And no matter how much i try to avoid the maxi ngu grifters, they get thru blocks and mutes. And its beyond algos. On three separate issues related to btc within the past couple yrs, I was mocked, attacked, shit on, etc, for raising concern about some shit. Eventually (weeks or months later) a certain pair decided it was allowed to be criticized. Suddenly, same who laughed at me, were showing concern. Algos dont mean shit when people form their own mental algos ie CULT.
Nope. When you have a community echco chamber you dont need an algo to push an agenda. The mass formation becomes self sustaining, as everyone just copies the existing echos......
Disagree. An algorithm, and a centralized platform pushing that algorithm specifically, is needed to sustain and push an agenda. An agenda doesn't just form randomly. "Echo chambers" or cults are not bad things in themselves, it's when they're being pushed deliberately by the platform owners, often for nefarious reasons, that makes it problematic.
