There is a real lack of understanding in just how fucked up the algos are, and how much power we gain in not being manipulated by them. We could be using the internet to do something extraordinary, and instead it is being used primarily to sell us shit and keep us scared. The whole of humanity is being fed lies and distortions through centralized social media that is designed to keep everyone asleep and unaware of their real power.

Now that there is no longer gatekeepers to what can be said to a global audience we have the power to shape a real unadulterated narrative; also known as the truth. The power of censorship to have molded a false global narrative is one of the pillars of the power structure that keep people divided over petty and impractical differences that can now be shown for what they are: manipulation tactics through the algos to keep everyone disempowered. We now have the ability to reclaim our voices in a way that no one can stomp out. What is to come and the changes that are to be ushered in will surprise all of us in the most remarkable of ways.

That's my favorite part of nostr. No algo bullshit.

I’ve become hyper sensitive to anybody trying to make me scared. I immediately move it to the algo propaganda bin. I have a hope and I refuse to live in fear.

Thanks Eric! I believe we are on that route in certain places, but the change might take way to long and the “controlling entities” still have a lot of power to annihilate a lot of people psychologically and even physically. It’s a professional media machine with all the bells and whistles, a...

We're waking up to the fact that the internet's been used mostly to sell us stuff and keep us scared. But now, without gatekeepers, we can share our own stories and truths. This shift is giving us a chance to connect on a deeper level, and it's just beginning.

It’s not just truth censorship, it’s the promotion of lies too. Just look at the impact that had on the UK a few weeks back. People are incentived to make things up for engagement, that’s also pretty terrible. Happy to be here.

So if all X users move to Nostr, this will not change into what X is now you think?
celestal · 77w
Yeah, X algos have become especially toxic, you only really realize after using nostr for a while.

Yup it's incredibly fucked up. nostr:nevent1qqszfmpdtcc43k7asp62p5zhf94aqgvlsfdnt2q8rmm9m5a5ctwz3ucpzamhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtczyphydppzm7m554ecwq4gsgaek2qk32atse2l4t9ks57dpms4mmhfxqcyqqqqqqgfg6t5w

Agreed. I've often said there were/are second order of effect consequences from the aglos manipulating how we think and solve problems.

My question is how and what are the action items to change it. More and more are talking about what is happening in our society but very few actually have an idea that can stick and become widely accepted. Free speech is the engine but the engine has to run on a path where more and more humans are ...

Eric, you more than anyone I’ve met in the Bitcoin space, have given me permission to say the simple word “no” You highlight this with posts like this so so well. “No” I do not have to give my time & energy to a system that doesn’t care about me Not just does this come down to our mon...

If people want to get more truth from nostr, we have to wholly reject the mind virus culture of proud ignorance, which I see explicitly encouraged on almost a daily basis here. Have a contrarian take/meme? Back it up.

How do we know Nostr won't feed us algos? Primal could implement similar right? Same for the relays?
High Heel King · 77w
On Jack Mallers' most recent podcast, the other guy who does the show with him was saying something like "twitter still works fine". It's not until you step outside the forced algorithm world of centralized platforms that you see how awful their algos are for you.

What do you think the change will be and how will it come about?
