Plagiarizing content from other people from other social media and posting it here without giving proper credit to the original author is a net negative for nostr, and it makes you appear greedy. I hate seeing it in my feed. It’s rampant.
Took the family camping with some friends this weekend and the night skies were incredible. I took this photo just holding my phone with a 10 second exposure. Surprised it came out this well, but there were probably 10 times more stars visible to the eye. Amazing. Was nice being away from the city lights.

A free and open society is dependent on people being able to freely and openly exchange ideas and value with one another. Nostr and Bitcoin are the best tools in the world for this. The people who don’t “get it” yet will get it eventually.
True and probably will continue even if they discover nostr. I think though that enough people seem to be aware that “something” is wrong with the big social networks even if they don’t quite know what or why. I have faith that as nostr apps continue to get better and offer more features that are actually useful for people, then people will begin to see and feel the difference of using nostr vs. Meta or TikTok. Probably won’t happen fast though.
I am more than hopeful of what it can become. The improvements over what it was merely 2 years ago are phenomenal, mindblowing. And development doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
I have 3 immediate thoughts in response to that question:
1. Social networking with a chronological timeline of the people you follow and what they share is a better experience than an algorithmic feed.
2. Algorithms can be useful for discovering new content/people if the user is in control of the algo.
3. Centrally controlled algorithms that are forced on users suck great big donkey balls. This has been true on every social media platform. This is true of the algo feeds that exists in some clients on nostr. This will be true of any algo relay or feed. It will not serve the users’ best interest and I think it’s a waste of time to try and develop one algo that lots of people should use. What could be useful is an open system of algo feeds that anyone can create and modify and share, and that other users can use or turn off as they wish.
