Is it deliberate self-sabotage, the fear of Nostr being more than a bitcoin telegram group? Is it bitcoin tourettes? I think these are habitual behaviours brought over from bitcointwitter, (further intensifiednamd incentivised, unfortunately by the zapreward mechanism). But the sloganeering and the meme repetition makes little to no sense here, less so than on twitter where they can at least pretend they are 'doing something's to promote bitcoin.
And if you mention the many many complaints about this from users who leave nostr, the response is a self-agrandising 'they are normies man, they just don't get it, they're not ready for freedom, man' blah blah blah. No, the reality is people don't want to scroll through endless sloganeering. They say as much. They want other content, or just actually funny memes, or ...anything else. A lot of the nostrism are read as spam by outsiders. And a lot of them would actually want zaps, but the price of social media boredom is too high.
This is a bitcointwitter problem, I've said all of this before I'm sure lolol, but yeah I'm not convinced a lot of people here realise that twitter is bigger than bitcointwitter. Stop building bitcointwitter clones and catering to that crowd.

Nostr is not Bitcointwitter pt. 2
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And if it is can you let me know cos I'll just leave now lol.
I have no opinion, only here for the maxis' comments. for a man needs to laugh.
I don't have any beef with maxis or non-maxis. I quite like the maxi position. I don't care about the boring sloganeering. I also don't really think it's even effective communication. People switch off. People pole their head in, see the drivel, get bored leave. Not because they're 'NPCs' but be ause they are actually interested in stuff and not a barrage of hard-sell spammy slogans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
he's a big man, he can mute you by himself, i think technically he has no excuses why not if it bothers him that much
That sounds like they want to be locked into their content silos?
The funny thing is the second half of your statement and then another note I just read on your profile -- which I wholeheartedly agree with. When I log in, I mainly see what I'd call nostr shitposting which is also low value but gets circlejerk style zaps and engagement.
For example, here is what I've got right now:


Only you can decide if your testosterone levels are low enough to leave.
or if the opponents do lol
i wouldn't be here if it was bitcoin twitter pt 2
but the legacy is there, and i'll call it out whenever it really gets on my nerves, like now
