Oddbean new post about login | logout Local in-person meetups are ONE part of the solution to CENTRALIZED over-influence from Nostr elites. ANOTHER part is for us plebes to PREFER boosting and posting to each other’s threads rather than jumping onto the “popular” Nostr elite threads.
What he said. 💯 nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphm8lxn7gyf9w3wtu7k0hhxsx6ghsrry8hmm44c0t5ss3uk5lssqqqsz6ne85hy5kxqzydnsgdql5ut8tajglfuxfz7elxm94l9lm86jvag4ygym5
I guess that would be an attempt to establish a #NostrMiddleClass
Don't make boxes, no need to dilute the nonelite into many categories. Just us vs #nostrelite
Wait…. Aren’t you elite class by now? Which direction does this elevator go?
I'm soooo not elite. I'm just joking around about it. I'm more of a #NostrHomemaker. I'm always around, very chatty, glad to be of help, know everyone and all their business, unpaid labor. 😂

No, really, this is me IRL, too. I'm the volunteer lady from the PTA, who sings in the church choir and sells homemade goods at the farmer's market, so that the mayor feels grudgingly obliged to be polite and give me invitations to the City Hall Christmas party because everyone has at least seen me around and leaving me out would be difficult to explain. It's a whole vibe.
A third part is just to ignore Primal, nostr band or wherever people get the notion of someone being elite and just start to curate your own followers list with people who talk about stuff you find interesting
Well, you can easily see the elites in most clients because they are hardly in the replies, but their OPs repost like 20 times in your feed. 😂 Even if they just post an emoji and can't even be bothered to write a single word, you'll see that emoji immediately begin to cascade.
Maybe I'm not following enough fanboys to have this problem, but I'll keep an eye on it to see if I'm just ignoring it or if I'm being so starstruck that some elite person has actually showed up in my modest timeline that I'm not annoyed about it 😂
😂 Well, I see it less, now that I use more lists and filters.
I'm digitally too illiterate to set up any filters... 😂 I just block and mute 🔨
