There is something to the bluesky feedback about nostr being more akin to 4chan (with b!tcoin chat lol).
But Eg Coracle's web of trust slide, amethyst's security filters solves a lot of this if you don't want that experience. No idea what Damus offers, but I'm mostly on these two clients and happy with them.
I rarely ever look at the global feed (mostly because it's just nonsense and even more ai b!tcoin 'art' and slogans - so I dont even use amethyst's filters). It's like looking at your spam folder, it's not even as entertaining as 4chan.
If we can’t make a social media ecosystem where people feel safe enough to share then they’ll go somewhere else. It’s like a dark ally in a city without anyone doing public safety. You can walk down these back alleys but it’s risky. If you’re strong and have guns you’re fine. Or if you’ve got a security guard. Or if you have a lot of social capital protecting you, most people won’t mess with you.
But on nostr we see folks who don’t have that power or protection be attacked with death threats for posting a selfie or doxxed for publishing an accurate content report. This kind of harassment silences speech. We need tools that let folks feel safe enough to share and build communities. Otherwise they’ll opt for the evil mall cop an corporate social media platforms because at least there is some safety in that authoritarianism.
