Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

I'm not "bitcointwitter slop", I only hold a little bit of Bitcoin (and Monero) myself. I also regularly discuss the issue of a lack of content variety here. Even so, I would have to strongly disagree with this note. Nostr content is (mostly) organic. It's not fed by algorithms, it's just people talking about things they care about. X/Twitter is literally just the same 15 posts over and over again until your algorithm changes and starts feeding you a new supply of drama and arguments that are literally designed to keep you anxious and feeling defeated. I have an X account to keep in contact with some friends there but every day, I hate using the platform more and more for anything other than messaging. It all feels so artificial... because IT IS. Even with Nostr's content variety issues, it's still a MUCH better experience with MUCH more wholesome and worthwhile content.

It's really not. I don't look at the For You feed, I follow a bunch of interesting people. Some have left, some post less but it is still incredibly varied. You have folklore experts, philosophers, linguists, theologians etc etc. I suspect you are looking at trending feeds. I really don't know. There are still lots and lots of very good people despite the exodus.

I follow lots of interesting people and stick solely with the Following feed. The experience I described is based on that and it is terrible. The only time I actually see content I want to see is by enabling notifications for my favorite accounts and even then, that's not a great experience by any means.
