I agree about incentives, the Fediverse was similar when I hoping (2019). X and Facebook deliberately set people against each other for engagement.

I disagree this isn’t an echo chamber of sorts, how many non bitcoiner folks are here, the number must be pretty small judging by the timeline.

I’ll be curious to see what happens if more left leaning voices appear here. It will still fair better than X and Facebook though in my opinion. It’s a matter of record that Facebook very deliberately experimented with peoples’ emotional states showing them only negative content. That was probably the biggest reason I deleted my accounts with them. Career suicide? Maybe but I’m still alive and having fun making niche records!

Hopefully there will be decent conversations about how we function as a society. I never hear Austrian economists discuss social issues, other than “the market will solve everything”. But clearly governments are also failing in that regard.

I don’t know the answers, I just know I can turn your mic up and down and make you sound good!
