You're exactly on point imo - I think that there's a good chance, if zapping as a cultural thing continues, that the fear of missing out could be a modern online equivalent to the fear of being punched. I really think there's a chance here. I'm thinking back to some of the earlier days on various forums, the quality of the conversations was, in general, so much better. I don't think the twitter like interfaces help, but the standard of conversations and the militant hatred between various factions is not doing us any good as a broader community.

Thanks for this message. Helped me in the moment on a day where I am being the worst version of myself. I treat everyone who is in the same room as me the same way I treat everyone online, I think that is my problem. The older I get the lower my tolerance threshold is. We wanted the twitter people to come, and they came. Thats the double edged sword feature/bug. Nostr isnt just another social media....its THE SOCIAL MEDIA PROTOCOL. So its basically the vast space where raw social media is allowed to exist, so just like as Bitcoin matured, it invited the good the bad and the ugly, as nostr is doing right now.... Regardless if we are on twitter, facebook, nostr, or in a room with people we may not necessarily like, your main message is the most important, treat everyone with respect and listen to eachother. Hopefully you see my interaction mostly on my good days. Thanks again for the clam positivity and clarity.
