You have to switch your thinking, things can work the other way around on Nostr. Ive have yet to nail down the right words/metaphore, but il take a swing. On a platform, they determine the online reality; everything that passes their gates is now part of that world, and in second instance you can chose what to actively ignore. Here, its the other way around; you determine your online reality; the people you follow, the relays you use etc. and in second instance you can decide to broaden your horizon. The difference is in the fact that a Nostr client is this 'active' thing facing the chaos, instead of a 'passive' interface for a central (supposed) order. Not saying all current clients totally nail this, and that its easy and without problems, risks or whatever. But on Nostr the default is that everything is fake, everything is spam, everyone is a bot and its all noise; but you actually equiped to navigate the mess.

Sorry i didn't post this message to the good node (but on his parent) Perhaps but finally it is not sexy for the ones who want to communicate. In an ocean of spam, fake, bots, do you think they could be mass adoption ? The email have been spam because his usage was enough to be financially interesting for spammer. I am not sure newbies here would be happy to have experience with spam bots directly without any advises or warn before. Because you know how to do "mute", choose relay... (and i don't agree on the fact we have enough way to avoid "noise" if we want, mute is fine, but as i said earlier, if spammer thing ig growing, you will be done to pass your time on nostr to mute bots). And for new user it will just be a locked door if they see only a mess.) But a new user will ignore all this. So perhaps because of this it will stay a network of geek. 🧐
