After using #Nostr for several weeks, one thing that has taken me by surprise is how there are very liberal and very conservative people on here, and yet they both share a sense of community and don't spend all day posting content against each other. Despite differences in political persuasion, they find common ground on here.

Now that I've seen this, I better understand how dangerous centralized control of social media is -- where algorithms continuously drive inflammatory content to users to keep them addicted to the platform. I find it ironic that a censorship-resistant platform is largely devoid of much of the inflammatory content that's present on censorable social media. One may have thought the opposite would be the case.

There are more views than just liberal or conservative. I dont think we find common ground all the time, but we live with the fact that the other cannot be censored no matter what they say. That's why im here. I want to read their views no matter how outrageous or against my own they may be. If l...

Hate is the algorithm in centralized social networks

I think that’s because the propaganda agencies, NPCs and censorship advocates haven’t arrived here in full force yet. When Twatter starts running their own nostr relay and cache, it shall be more customary here.

Those labels don't apply in a freedom based environment. People are actually just people, not labels. Nostr only does is revealing that not-so-evident truth.

You are spot on. It’s so much more cordial here. People here are also early adopters, more open minded to new ideas and respectful of others ideas.

There are many more examples like this - my personal favorite is how there are a lot of no-coiners and bitcoiners here and they get along great. But yes, what you spotted is what I had realized too. Since there is nobody trying to keep you addicted, it actually becomes your own choice to come here ...

The fundamental difference is that on Nostr everything we write is indelible, unchangeable and unstoppable, this creates an enormous sense of responsibility. Here you cannot cheat and you cannot clear your conscience.

Haven't seen many liberals here honestly, if anything I've seen more non-coiners and Bitcoiners as the "divide". I'm glad there is still a sense of community here.

Liberals and conservatives just added each other to their blocklists. I read both and I can tell you that Nostr has not fixed or helped anything here. For many people It's still an echo chamber.

Exactly what I’ve been loving about the community here; humans being actual humans - no algos driving sentiment to force reactions and interactions for “clout”. It’s really refreshing.

Centralization is often the root cause of the very problems that it wants to eliminate.
