 “Show me the incentives and I’ll tell you the behaviour..”

On X you get rewarded for engagement, so the behaviour is to post the most controversial, rage-baiting comments.

On Nostr, you get rewarded for thoughtful or helpful posts, so the behaviour is to go out of your way to help people; trolling and negativity is rarely zapped!

It’s a self-regulating system like bitcoin.. It’s beautiful to watch!
