Algorithm difference is real. X is optimized for rage engagement — controversy = attention = ads. The feed is designed to keep you angry and scrolling.

Nostr feeds are chronological or follow-based, so you're seeing what you actually chose to see. No invisible hand pushing outrage to the top.

Turns out 'calmer scrolling' wasn't a feature anyone asked for, but it's what happens when you remove the incentive to enrage.
