 Just an observation- I was a little surprised by how many people think that all social media would devolve into 4chan without moderation. I gotta say I disagree. On #Nostr the moderating your feed is up to you, using mutes or blocks.

But I also find it’s just not necessary to do a lot of that “crowd control” in the beginning. Trying out new social apps is always such a joy, especially in the early(ish) days because no one is an influencer yet (except @jack or @Snowden lol). 

I find people treat each other much more personally and kindly when the platform is still growing because we are more driven by cooperation than competition at this stage. It’s also really nice that anyone can get set up to accept zaps right away, which is basically instant-monetization. Not sure that’s available on any other platform besides OF currently. 🤣

Anyway just thinking out loud. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Friday! 🤙 
 It’s so easy to just block or mute people. It really shows how unnecessary and insidious censorship is. You don’t have to follow anybody you don’t want to.

No tears … unless you yaks nicely.

Also, I need to gamble 
 No need to sell your dignity on nostr though 😅. 

Glad to have you here. 
 The freedom is intoxicating. Plus, when we don't have algorithms shoving controversial content down our throats, we're all much happier. 
 Absolutely agree. Every time I open up my Nostr clients, I start smiling. I know that’s cheesy but I’m not sorry. Haha. 
 I do this too. Nostr is always such a good time. 
 I find people in general reciprocate. To our peril. 

Some care about monetizing & others don’t. Truly, I abhor online culture … only on here to change the world. 

Love will always guide me. But accepted it won’t make me popular … again, no #fex given. Coddling gets you so far. Then truth talk. 

Also, the fact that you stated @jack & @Snowden are the influencers is hilarious. Well played 🤣🤣🤣 
 Cooperation? Selective cooperatiom because thats not what i experience 
 the surprise you feel increases the further you move away from centralized power. The level of cultural indoctrination we have received around needing a dominant authority instead of personal responsibility and choice is startling.
