Nostr doesnt need more assholes they are already here but like a townsquare they get ignored One of the best things of this protocol is the lack of a rage algo

Yeah exactly that’s why it pairs so well with Bitcoin, it’s the opposite of fiat mentality and every other social media so far that has the ulterior motive of monetizing everything. Not everything should be monetized. Here it’s just an option and when value is expressed it’s more genuine that way and it’s in an instant a giant relief to find because it’s actually fostering the connections we were promised by the internet. That’s my 2 sats anyway.

The last line is a banger. We might have algorithms on some clients here as well with the difference being that on Nostr, we can opt out of those clients and preserve our social graphs.
Agreed. However, I think it remains to be seen whether or not Nostr clients and relays can be profitable. I think it’ll be harder to be profitable without algorithms. But hopefully they will. And Nostr is more than just social clients so there should be a wide range of ways for people building on Nostr to make money.

This artwork by Banksy from the UK is a great depiction of a typical Nostr user. Love is in the air. image

We could have a rage moment right. Like a zapathon but 5 minutes where all nostriches post “aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh” to communally remember the ridiculous rage on algomedia platforms. Fridays are zapathon days, I’ll throw my hat in the ring for Mondays 9am wherever you are as rage moment!
nostr will be less boring if theres drama, one way to make drama and to get more assholes is to make nostr-bsky bridge happen
