how much will nostr accelerate the distribution of hate?

Does distribution include receiving of hate? Because me being the algorithm prevents hate from being received. Reply guys can distribute all they want. I'm not listening.
What hate? It's all love in here
With freedom of speech comes disagreement, but hopefully we can normalize doing it with civility and courtesy.
I think the important distinction of #nostr vs other "legacy" social media is that since we don't leverage an algo based on engagement - Negative or Positive, the content is judged by the merits of its content.
What I mean is, the propagation of hate isn't supercharged here.
Does hate-filled nonsense still exist? Sure but I think its reach is limited to purely those who wish to see it, not everyone else.
so, hopefully, ```zero```! 🤙
When things are feed to you forcefully, it gives rise to hate.
hopefully is the keyword
for those of us that have separate online personas, it's easier... but when hate is sent to you online, it's about how it changes others in your surroundings as well.
that's big motivation for what I do... would love a world where nothing is forced on the individual...

Par une bonne maîtrise de la répartie qui fait partie des subtilités de la Communication verbale ou orale .....j'en ai usée à plusieurs reprises sur nostr voire sur X me concernant ... Pourquoi d'empoisonner par des individus qui peuvent être en souffrance à un moment T de de leur vie ou peut-être cela peut être lié' à une mauvaise compréhension , un choix de mots, des mauvaises postures, c'est complexe la communication en réseaux puisqu'il nous manque plein d'éléments visuels, des sensations, des fluides naturels que tout individu dégage naturellement, tels les phremones ,l'état de l'autre (humeur , fatigue, maladie, handicap , difficultés psychosociales ....tous ces éléments nous manquent dès lors on est communication virtuelle On ne voit pas les sensations etc... à prendre en compte donc demeurer l'esprit ouvert ...et zen on y gagnerait entre nous ...l'usage des algos ne ferait que nous mettre dans des *cases, groupes .. un leurre in fine *m'est avis ..un grand bonjour en tous les cas à vous
on nostr reach is definitely limited to those who wish to see it... that's what I'm bringing up. @HODL had a good example

Normally individuals will choose to filter out the content that they hate. Since that content can't be forced through via an algorithm, the muting provides friction for the undesired content to spread.
We Don't hate 🫂 We Smile! Next! Stay on the Mission Just be you 🫡👌🧡
That image with the igniting row of matchsticks & one stepping out comes to mind.
It's algorithms that inspire hate. Nostr focuses on users through trust and stays away from hate through blocking. Free expression and exchange of ideas is Nostr's culture.
Excellent point.
Yeesssh.
I haven't come across anything like that.
I suppose that there could be actors on here that are trying to saturate the network with that filth.
Hopefully the big brains on here can find ways to filter it out.
I think nostr has great potential.
I don't see hate. I see exclusion to assholes. Go to your own island away from the communities that I care about.
When the establishment feels nostr is becoming a threat to their power. The establishment will then order their mainstream media to push the "nostr is distributing hate" narrative and get their bot farms to push hate material on nostr.
That's when we will start to see the distribution of hate material on nostr
that's a good consideration, waiting for bot farm attacks
not about individual... rather talking about the fact that you need is one dedicated hater to make nostr miserable experience for a lot of people... very curious how that plays out as nostr grows
Bonne question qui mériterait tant de réflexions et une certaine maîtrise des divers modes et subtilités de la communication en ligne ..pourtant depuis l'avènement du web surtout dans certains domaines de formations, des cours ont été modifiés pour intégrer la dîmension des interactions en ligne en se basant les modes de communication neurolinguistiques (PNL) surtout l'individu sur sa toute sa dimension ...Ils sont très intéressants aident à gérer les conflits liés à plusieurs facteurs à prendre en compte ....
I am a believer in people and good in them, ultimately we should be good, but we likely will suffer way more than necessary and break way too many individuals.
everyone hates... but we should aim to smile
nostr is a prism through which we can view users' unfiltered thoughts. as such, the potential for hate-distribution is as unlimited as the potential for GM-distribution.
good question though, uncle 🫡
The lack of algorithms might be our saviour.
Is it just me or are all your notes only posting to nostr.band? 👀
I haven't encountered this situation yet. The current users of Nostr form a solid cultural foundation. Hugs Uncle 🫂
u can see the negative divisive comments from some nostriches, nostr devs, Opensats board members, podcasters and influencers. It’s already here.
Firstly, people aren’t particularly good imho. Secondly, just mute the ones you don’t like. Follow and follow back the one you like as well as the hashtags you’re interested in. And voilà, you have a beautiful community without interference from algorithms.
I dont know. Quite a few errors right now, but I'm seeing my own as well distributed. I did a little rearranging yesterday, maybe too much? 😂 
lmao
it's more than that, nostr is getting too big to not have isolation between communities, there is only so much you can tolerate of fucking bullshit
that bullshit for me has been watching trans apologists posting nonsense
no, trans is not a healthy thing, it is a symptom of a disease much the same as paranoid schizophrenia, and we don't go around pandering to schizos who think the CIA is planting bugs in their house and pointing directed energy weapons at their bedrooms while they sleep
that is the kind of thing i'm getting tired of... and the hipster refugees from mastodon and bluesky are annoying as fuck to me as well, i don't want to have them intrude on threads that i am otherwise interested vomiting their hipster bullshit onto my pixels
and fuck your "tolerance" tolerance is just assholes trying to browbeat you into putting up with their shit so they can keep demoralizing you
these ones, i guess nostr.band is the only one you share in common
i'm not on any of these (paid only) but i guess coracle is finding them because of my follows list
True🫂
i understand we're never going to align on the perspective of transgender. I still respect your desire to isolate yourself from that conversation. Isolated communities should at least keep it away from your life. If you don't encounter that content you wont be mad about it and i wont have to observe it.
yeah, shame about the poor kids who get tricked into sterilizing themselves though
as someone who was mutilated as part of a "normal" form of child abuse called circumcision i am extremely pissed at anyone who even apologises for this shit when it's unnecessary and not only that, in this case, product of a mental illness that the media is actively promoting
if you are against the banking cartels polluting our money you should understand that they also like to cull the herd and consider us to be livestock to be abused at their amusement
currency debasement, taxes, prohibition, these are in the same basket of things as promoting perversion and sterilising people
i mean, come on, does it really make any difference if you tricked someone to walk into a trap or if you sent violent men out to kidnap them?
same result, people in situations that benefit evil people
even you are confused about it
if i am confused, let me be confused away from you. Beyond that, conversation i can still have respect and converse with you. But this is veering away from the topic at hand.
the trans agenda is literally the same as genocide in the "soft" form
you see the point then
and no, the very topic at point is the fact that this is an inevitable conflict without some kind of isolation method
i am not watching this shit
i already see enough disgusting garbage while i'm testing a bluesky agggregator code working on the posts, obvious comments relating to gay porn, ugh, already too far for me
> inevitable conflict without some kind of isolation method
💯
I'm also curious about links to the posts you mentioned, but should I really see them?
what are we gonna do about it? what can we do?
i've been on the internet too long and had this stuff thrown at me by trolls too many times to be curious
for me, rotten.com was more pleasant than most of it
some people out there really don't know what is actually funny and what is just puerile, disgusting, or in some cases, seriously abusive, content that is the product of violence or mental illness
Encourage and commend their use of free speech while advocating critical thinking/reasoning skills. Allowing individuals to read divisive comments and form a unique opinion on the matter.
For example Id rather a rascist make their comments in the public square than behind closed doors. Lets me know where i stand.
Just a thought
Interesting, thank you. I'm experimenting again, so it's nice to get feedback from you keen ones.
i keep coming back to #coracle it is definitely the best nostr client
#nostrudel is good too, lots of neat little tools in it, and i like the emoji reactions but the auth is still not working right consistently, which again coracle has sorted
Bitcoin is love ❤️ no time for hate here. Normie world is full of hate and greed. They should be more human than thinking like bots.
people = people problems
I enjoy Coracle very much & Satellite too. Nostrudel is neat, but it's bright 😂 so I don't use it much expect for feature specific needs. I'm mostly on mobile, especially since it's summer here.
i hate mobile, i hate wifi
in my near future there will be a whole dwelling fully shielded from microwave and longer wave radios AND high energy cosmic/x-gamma
because i hate radiation
and mobile means radiation
I hate sitting still. Trade offs 😂
there is truth and power in hate, what I worry mostly about is people being broken
gm 🫡
Humans must continually heal themselves
Those who have found peace should
Continue to fight for those who haven’t
That’s my truth
Humans always human.

Unfortunately there are haters everywhere
and there are no walls for them in nostr
Bitcoin is love, Nostr is not.
One of the ground breaking things is free will > free speech. What Jack said at the Oslo Freedom Forum.
It can potentially spread hate and all the other bad things. But there no algorithms brainwashing us or driving the narrative of what we should think. No algos telling us how to be or behave.
It can spread hate, but we all have the power now to build our own feeds with the things we like and people we admire and love. Hate stops driving the algo, and becomes just noise that anyone can mute.
I love curating my own feeds. It’s powerful. + no advertisers getting into my feed without my consent.
Nostr changes everything
how to answer an asshole: no answer
That's the main reason I hardly spend any time on twitter. #NOSTR is mostly good vibes for me so far: it'bitcoin centric so I guess it's a reflection of the bitcoin community.
sorry ill be more nice promise
completely valid concern. i worry about that too!
yeah, as a programmer i have to sit still anyhow, getting myself up and moving around the only thing that is really gonna solve that problem for me is my own chooks, goats and sheep, and garden to take care of
living in rentals is the pits
Then let us not be part of that problem
🫂 I get that.
i think its fixable on Nostr: crowd sourced content sorting aka #peercuration 
GitHub
GitHub - baumbit/peercuration
Contribute to baumbit/peercuration development by creating an account on GitHub.
nostr could leverage incentives just like bitcoin does, and create crowd sources “reply trees”.
a reply tree, is achieved by sorting replies so that best reply to a note is always on top. gui needs to update a bit though
nostr is only partially attractive to haters. you can say what you want, but you’ll only reach those who want to listen. so, it’s just another bubble.
hate needs algorithms to artificially push content into people’s feeds to truly spread.
and that’s where nostr wins. here, i control what i see and read.
Nostr is a mirror 👤🪞🌀
Oh and when we start writing good AI Data Vending Machines (https://www.data-vending-machines.org/) then that will be through the roof.
Not much, I hope. The algorithms on centralized platforms are likely responsible for most online hate. Here on Nostr, we have #freewill.
Do you encounter hatred here? I haven't come across much of it. I believe it will be less common here because there's nothing actively pushing people in that direction. Maybe I'm too idealistic, but I think most people are reasonable by nature.
You’re great is what you are ❤️
Love can't exist without hate.
Light can't exist without darkness.
Life can't exist in a dead homogeneous universe.
FAFO. 🤷🏽♂️
everything is a mirror these days
some, but not as much as others have whose hate I observe... percentage wise it's more, which is normal considering no controls
and someone in the threads brought up a good point that a lot hate elsewhere is algorithm induced... here it's that pure, personal hate
📠
let's embrace the hate?
Nostr happened cuz of Bitcoin ❤️🎯
ok, Bitcoin is love, Nostr is not Bitcoin
Nostr is skin in the game. Bitcoin is soul?
I came across it once, I feel like the evilness lives on twitter more ngl
God gave us all love and hate, how you use it is up to you
tat tvam asi ☺️
don't we all love a bit of hate scrolling tho? or do you think that's algorithmically induced? 🙈☺️
It depends on who you ask
The question is how we can prevent bots from appearing en masse in the future. Sats might be one answer to that
Hate and violence are part of every human being
without the buzz algorithm, it will probably do the oposite. this is the most positive platform i'm on
I think very few people naturally like seeing things they hate to stew in their negative emotions. The rest are the victims of targeted propaganda efforts to keep them in a state of fear and anger.
“hello bitcoin twitter 2021, are still you there ..?” ☎️
One hopes it won’t.
I’m not an expert in the field of #nostr or its clients so not even sure it it’s possible but
If one started amplifying algorithms it wouldn’t help.
Birds of a feather flock together 🫂💜🚀
I just block it if I find it, tbh haven't had to do it a lot
When you combine unfettered speech with open source AI trained to harass or recruit in service of hate, times will get "interesting".
what happened?
I wanna be a spinning disco 🪩 ball
Hate what? Hate to here what you hate
Hate to hear what you don't want to hear?
The world now is infested by Islam
Other social media platforms are specifically channeling hate since it sales. Nostr doesn’t do that.
It’s the wolf you feed.
one thing I wish this thread focused more on is that it's not as much about hate your receive, but more about how others process hate you receive
free speech allows good speech to slay bad speech
I come across differences of opinion all the time...but hate...no...(seriously).
I do however mute folks from time to time, so that may help...
