Fear is the enemy of open discussion.
I want to understand and learn from others, and I know that holding back or hiding my different opinions is not the way.
We are at a point where everything in the “media” can be seen as ‘fake’ no matter what angle it is skewing to. That leaves people on each side of an issue being more and more convicted in their views, and more divided. The thought of open discussion with someone who thinks differently is now terrifying!
Overcome the fear! If not, the puppeteers/uni-party get their foothold - while everyone is busy fighting and not communicating.
That being said, how do we make decisions on what is wrong or right, how do we know what is the truth to base our decisions?
*Rant over. Posting to encourage myself to speak up & engage in conversation with those who have differing opinions so that I can better understand things in this crazy world. Nostr is the way 💜
Talked with @OpenMike today about the trickiness of #v4v and how as a user and a creator it might be nice to have a ‘suggested value’ to give to help guide users to an appropriate amount.
Is anyone doing this? Are there #v4v people who would push back on this idea?
Sometimes it is hard to nostr.
It’s my #1 source of social media, but I am usually not very good at staying active on any social media.
I dive into projects or activities that I’m working on, and when I poke my head back out from under my rock to check in, I usually have no idea what’s going on here.
I keep coming back though, because the best people are on nostr and I want to keep up with y’all even if it is sporadic on my part 😎💜
