“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. (Couple I’ve seen recently attached.. no value added, just inflaming comments to goad people into replying)

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 will take time, but I believe that in the end #value4value wins.
