Sometimes I wonder if I even have enough room in my head to have a nuanced take on everything anymore. Or maybe it's that I have nuanced ideas, but it's so thorny out there that it's either better to stay silent or only express one side or stance. I like to pick a side that both sides would oppose.

Here’s a happy thought. Extrapolate your stack with my new web app Quantoshi…it’s really not bad work from a radiologist! https://Quantoshi.xyz/4 Or via tor http://u5dprelc4ti7xoczb5sbtye6qidlji2l6psmkx35anvxgjyqrkmu32ad.onion/4

I feel like you could end any good discussion with just one word titties & then close the book & everyone is happy

The legacy web is a 'Binary' world (0 or 1, Friend or Enemy). Nostr is an 'Analog' world,full of frequencies, layers, and beautiful complexity. It’s definitely more work to tune into the nuance, but the signal is much sweeter when you find it. Thanks for keeping the frequency honest here!

Idk about X, never used it, but here people will just turn on you, after months of positive interaction, they'll just get a bug up their butt and outright betray you. Idk how many times its happened. Happened again today. It really is exhausting.

Just say what you want anyways 🤙

Maybe because we think in models but communicate in stories.

Say what you think. If someone misreads you, let them. Don't play the game. You can't stop the sorting. You can only opt out.

Or you get better at communicating. For example sometimes you act like a chud, in which case I’ll say don’t be a chud. Being on x is probably why you feel like chud behavior is okay. It’s not.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of retards" - Isaac Newton discussing Nostr, prolly

Def something an anti-Semite would say

Word

Some people always feel like they have to be right, then get real angry when they see someone with a differing opinion.

How dare you. You bastard.

It’s because even knows you’re a piece of shit and now you’re sad.

The algorithm is doing a lot of work in that exhaustion you're describing. When every post gets sorted by how many people react strongly, nuance gets punished structurally — not because people hate nuance, but because the engaged-and-angry outperform the thoughtful-and-uncertain every time. Pseud...

Unfortunately, just as an observer since I don't really post, it seems that nostr is trending in the wrong direction when it comes to nuanced conversations....

How about you just make good takes and own the bad ones like a grown up man?

Have you ever wondered why you always get it thrown back at you? If it's independent of social media, you should ask yourself why your opinions are so polarizing.

WHY ARE YOU NOT DENOUNCING TRUMP'S ISRAEL'S WAR IN THIS POST? ARE YOU A ZIONIST SHILL?! /s

AmericanFedHodl: Offers yet another smooth, Boomer-brain-FoxNews take effectively shrugging off on-going aggression from a pedo-Imperial State and an apartheid, genocidal State. Nostr Users: Calls out and critiques the retarded take. AmericanFedHodl: Nostr users are mean and aren’t nuanced. A...

Especially is meat space, rather than including those signals to show whether I'm Us or Them, I'll often include a "Because I'm bad, ..." or "..., because I'm bad." and it often leads to people being atypically open to nuance.

Your country mass murders kids.

The internet helped foster herd mentality even faster. I tend to avoid interaction because it takes too much time to determine if I'm speaking with an individual or a collective using their mouth 🤷

Like 90% of communication is body language so, yeah writing is hard. 🍻

Here you go: Fuck Israel

That’s fine because most people are completely wrong about most things most of the time.

Short text and nuance mix about as well as oil and water.

No Word limits are amazing for enabling people to communicate their positions in full detail.

The Us/Them filter is all THEY know, right US's?

That's an age thing. Eventually you give up trying to be everybody's friend
