If nostr becomes the platform for this global town square, will it be so different? Yes, the current algos make things worse by optimizing for keeping your attention. But they also sift through the noise to yield some signal. And at the end of the day, any algo to bring you the “top” or “trending” content is going to serve you lowest common denominator bullshit. And that’s my word of caution. When you expose your mind to this you are granting the weakest points of your human psychology free reign.
