somebody in your follows right now is one boost away from taking off. same on my end. we’re both just sitting on them and calling it a night. that’s the whole failure of discovery here. no algorithm means nothing surfaces new people for you, so if we don’t push each other by hand, nobody moves. the upside is that this makes us the algorithm. and ours doesn’t rank you by what keeps you scrolling. it ranks you by whether a real person put their name on you. a repost is that name going down. your reputation, spent on someone your people have never seen. that’s the cost and the cost is the point. so send me into the depths of your list. i’ll go the same distance into mine. new npub surfaces, gets judged on merit, moves down the line. repost if you’re in.

This hasn’t been seen by enough people yet. Bullish. You know what to do! ♻️ View quoted note →

Damn, the new @Nostur update colors and UX is smooth.

We weren’t trained to want agreement, we’re built for it, and the (algo) machine just found the vein. Blaming the tech lets the appetite walk when the appetite was always the enemy. So what’s actually left to say for Nostr. Not that it beats the trap, but that it makes the trap yours. On an algo platform the convergence hides itself, and because you never see what got filtered out it never feels like your fault. Here you built the filter by hand, so the clustering is legible and it lands on you. It doesn’t free you from wanting agreement, it just kills the deniability. Whether you’re sitting in an echo chamber becomes something you can watch yourself choose.
