 I get what you mean. I am sort of arguing more about the mechanics of how to get visibility here. And it being geared towards a certain type of user or posting style, predominantly. I don't think I anyone expects instant feedback or followers or whatever. But I also think there should be other mechanisms to discovery than being from bitcointwitter, or appealing to the whims and tastes of Recommended Users (I'm being a bit hyperbolic here but you get my point).And it feels like there easily could be other mechanisms, but not so much the desire or urgency to actually put them in place.

Again just a bit more hyperbole. If you came here and spoke about Other Things you cared about and got ignored, but got thrown a bone if you made a generic botcoin 'meme', that would shape behaviour and the platform generally. I'm obviously being extreme here, but this feels like a vague shape that forms here that hasn't changed much over time.

Or something lol  
 You are absolutely correct. Also, this maybe a symptom of the personalities here rather than the technology. 

Most of us ideologically aligned. We get it. That means that bitcoin is the least interesting topic, or should be. It like being in a geriatric ward and talking about being old. That's the last thing they want to talk about it.

So idk, I just try to follow anyone who posts anything that is somewhat different and gloss over the "we are all individuals"  vegtable posts. And for me nostr is pretty enjoyable. 
 But yes, perhaps to you point if we had a tag "does not post about bitcoin" that would help discovery 🤣 
 I would actually fail this too, cos I complain about this a lot lolol. But I'm willing to take that hit:):) 
 I see it as tourettes lol. It is partly a transported over behaviour form bitcointwitter, it makes slightly more sense there as twitter has a vast userbase. It makes a lot less sense here and does look like a verbal tick or a popular catchphrase for an easy cheer. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 
 I see it more from people who switch back and forth from x. The people who are OnlyNostr seem to have more normal conversations. Even when they talk about Bitcoin, they talk about it like normal humans do, and not like billboard signs.

My own relay is nearly devoid of it, which I like. 😅 
 Maybe that is it. I don't really know, but seems possible.

It's actually quite funny cos there has developed a sort of nostr script too lol.

You see it most when interacting with ew people or new people ask reasonable questions like 'where is the content?'

There is no algo here

Maybe these are the only two I can think of..but you get what I mean..it's the sort of wishywashy thing Jack my post in a post-ayahuasca enema haze. No offence:):)
