Huh, I had kind of forgotten about these sites. I never really used them, let alone considered posting anything on them, and this made me remember why.

It also makes me think that we actually have a pretty nice crowd here on current nostr, at least relatively speaking.

And I'm not so worried about the community here turning nasty, not because I think it couldn't ever happen, but because the consequences would be limited.

On sites like reddit, it feels like you are locked into some narrow space with your peers, and there is no escaping or avoiding them. With nostr, because you have your own keys, you can be more of a nomad. When this particular spot doesn't suit you any longer, because there's no shade or for whatever reason, you just take a minute to pack up and move to another one, taking everything you need with you.

It's a very different feel, and it has to do with the underlying structure of the protocol.
