100%, algorithms are CRUCIAL, they aren't the enemy.

The idea of not having algos in Nostr because "they are bad" is like trying to build a "better web" back in the 90s without search engines because you know Yahoo was censoring stuff.

Its about having CONTROL over the algorithm, not belligerently thinking people can drink the 10,000 firehoses worth of global social media without any sort of filter or weighting mechanism.
Gm,

Nostr sucks because it's mostly all chronological follow feeds without good algorithms. Good content is extremely hard to discover and will be missed most of the time.

There's a reason why every single social media service uses them - because that's what billions of users want

Only a community of bitcoiners can be so stubborn to look at our user retention rates and see their feeds go stale constantly and still believe that private keys will bail us out of inferior UX

Tell your client devs you want algorithms, they exist, they're just not implemented
