    Oh my, what’s that thing? I tried nostr earlier this year after reading about their tech side and finding it interesting, but then I met their human side and… it was shocking (I lack words to properly explain the feeling). Most posts were, in order of amount of occurrence: cryptocurrency praising like it’s 2015, bashing on leftism, some weird humor I didn’t understand (maybe it was better not to understand), anti-government stuff, racist memes and a (maybe lost) user that posted some beautiful photos they took as amaetur photography practice. I literally stopped scrolling and uninstalled it when I saw a post claiming that pasteurizing milk is a genocide and an act from the government against us (the other users were even endorsing it!)

      Definitely a good technology overrun with cultists. Better content curation tools & more users will fix it

      Heads up, I sometimes post screenshots of replies like this as examples of how nostr looks to outsiders, because those cultists act confused about why no one joins

      Yup, it’s beautiful. You know you can block, though, and filter content to only those you follow?

        IMHO it would work better like a web of trust, than having to either whitelist or play whack-a-mole. I’d rather just join an instance that doesn’t allow racism.
