I think for people who were familiar with Usenet, MySpace, early to Facebook and early to Twitter, Nostr is a very comfortable place to be. My feed consists of the profiles that I want to follow, nothing else. I post what I want without concerns or worry that it will get taken down or if it will be "controversial".  I communicate with other humans, not bots or algorithms.  I see NO advertising, NO corporations, and if I do see something I don't like, it is super easy to investigate the source and make a judgement call on whether to mute a profile or just move on.  90% of the time I just move on.

Nostr is where humans communicate.  Corporate social media is where the human experience goes to die. 

 Brilliant observation.  Remember email before spam? 

 The golden age 

 Also: remember #nostr before reply guy 😆 

 I muted the profile, and haven't seen a single post from it since. 

 you can mute reply guy, but more pop up. and then there are the bots that try to sound like people butting into your conversation too.  

 Yeah, starting to see bots in Messages.  I play with my food long enough to report their profiles.  Then I toss the algorithms into the sun.  Or actually into solar escape velocity, which is less expensive fuel wise.
