the algorithm is really good at programming people the mindless repetition is top

truly.. been acutely aware since this past 18 months on nostr, how precise and insane the algorithmic programming is on twttr.. scary considering ppl there think it’s a ‘free speech’ platform.. might be some free speech happening but it is not free thought, or free of narrative

Or maybe it’s This time is different, but just slightly
doesn't the lack of good categorical content discovery mean, that the highest followed folks are pushed into everyone's feed through reposting and quote posting?
Algorithm soothes society like Music soothes the savage beast Coincidence?

Yeah the interwebs were better without algos and such powerful tailoring.

nostr is the true pH indicator of what the people want. and this matters in preventing global interventions or gov't manipulation. Bitcoin prevents currency wars. Nostr prevents colonisation of the mind. The Twitter timeline has become overwhelming. I tried liking only dog and baby pics for calmer content, but it didn't work—there are still too many heated political debates, often about gender and race that tears people apart, and rarely abt market and social reform that builds people up.

Yesterday I deleted X because I felt my mind was being influenced in a weird way. The last drop in the bucket was a video of Hitler twitching at the Olympic Games, high on drugs. I mean, what good does that do for me to see? It fills my heart with pain, and thoughts about why evil exists. I don't want to pay attention to that, I want to use my time & energy for good - that's why I Nostr/Bitcoin. Thanks for inspiring me, Jack.

What do you mean? That almost everyone is on their phone?
The future will be a dichotomy between those who use AI technologies and those who will be used by them.
I've been experimenting with trying to like only positive or feel-good content too. It hasn't worked. It took around 2 weeks for it to really start working, but it only lasted a few days. Then I went through and ruthlessly muted any and all words and phrases that I know posts with drama contain. It relieved 90% of the problem, but I'm still be fed things I wish I didn't see. It's been 2-3 weeks since I did that. It feels like an uphill battle to get the algorithms to work with you and it doesn't matter which platform I've tried over the years. I'm starting to wonder if leading people to believe they can influence the algorithm somehow isn't actually true, like an illusion to keep people trying.
When using any algorithm, stay sharp. Focus on what you need to learn, not what they're trying to teach you. Make learning your North Star, not low gratifications (dopamine).
Yes! That and senseless violent “trending” on my timeline, sometimes I can’t scroll fast enough
Donald Trump says Mark Zuckerberg called him after the assassination attempt, let him know he isn’t supporting Democrats and apologized for Meta suppressing photos of him with a raised fist after the shooting. You have never apologized to Trump, why?
The point isn't to not have algorithms, it is to have a choice in content discovery, and not having to forcefully engage with whatever is shoved down your throat.
what are some good places to get custom algorithms on nostr? I only know of the 'trending 24h' on iris.to and primal.net. Are there other ones?
