Oddbean new post about login | logout Ya know since I've been on #nostr the lack of any "algorithm" promoting and demoting things has been nice! It just proves we're not all disagreeable as we thought we were when you don't have FB and Twitter et. al. dividing us #plebs
X and other platforms are so toxic. It is truly a breath of fresh air to be on Nostr. We are way more alike than we think and algorithms do not help to let us see that at times!
That's one of the things I love the most about Nostr, just fetch the posts and display them sorted newest-to-latest, no need for shady AI's deciding what should be displayed to whom based on God only knows what criteria. The big social media corps want people to be constantly disagreeing and yelling at each other cause it makes them spend more time on their platforms, it's a horrible incentive.
