This is a big part of why I don’t engage much on Nostr, and some of the “cult leaders” are my most prominent personal critics, so it just doesn’t make sense to be around. nostr:note1vpv3f752tmw04w6ud7asg0jmg9r2ss04wjdjzmqvqqmng723erksvsvnmn

That may be fair but the whole thing is engineered to be cult by the unsolicited primal signup instafollows that include all of the right-think influencers. I have learned the lesson of going where you’re wanted, and the people who functionally run the show around here clearly don’t want me around. A pervasive culture of cultishness is high bar to overcome.

Sure, the "cult leaders" are prominent here and there are a number of cults rotting Bitcoiners. But at the same time you can ignore them and find likeminded people to engage with and feel being appreciated. Im sure many of us here appreciate Seedsigner project. Would be great to have you here more active.

If the app is a problem, there are options. Nostr is free and open source so there are different approaches. You may try Gossip Nostr client - its a desktop application that you install, meaning its fast, its secure (all your private keys stay on your hard drive) and you set up everything yourself - choosing relays, who to follow, organizing the people in groups and so on. It may take a bit to get used with all freatures but its awesome. https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/releases

Amethyst and Damus work great and it doesn't have to be a Right-think crowd!! Can curate your own feed FTW! Primal did choose to do autos follows for new users, as an onboarding experience. That said, it is mostly an echo chamber unless you add others, but a lot of my interesting non-hyperbitcoinization people are not here. So it's egg / chicken time still, not both.

you know i often agree with you, but for me nostr is more like bitcoin. especially in the bitcoin space there are so many people with bad intentions and yet there are also incredibly great and helpful people. in germany we say "greed eats brains" and i think many people are reluctant to give away their cake. for me nostr remains like bitcoin hope for a better world

I totally understand where you come from. I used to be very active on Nostr (with my older identity), even attempting some community building with weekly activities. I did not feel welcomed that often… then I dared to criticize a couple of projects and that was it. I’m always concerned when group think becomes stronger than logic. All the symptoms of a cult were present. I still pop in with this account every now and then because I am curious about the development of the technology, rather than for keeping in touch with the community.
