Yeah, very difficult to just do your own thing, on here. Everything is setup, to encourage us all to follow and interact with a small handful of people, on a small handful of relays, using clients built by a small handful of devs. Extremely concentrated, ironically. Not living up to the potential, at all.

There is also a certain air of superiority on nostr, it's 'algo-free'. But what has filled the void of an algo isn't great either, sure it may be algo-free but it's certainly not free of the social media dynamics of parasocial behaviours and all the other inevitable stuff. I'm not saying this stuff can be avoided (it perhaps can in a Reddit /forum/topic client where following npubs-as-personalities is not/less of a thing). But yeah there seems to be not much interest in refreshing the trending/discovery tools. The assumption is still people want to find bitcointwitter personalities lol. (Probably sadly true).
