When someone new shows up, they may find themselves overwhelmed or very put-off by some of the stuff in the Global feed. With good reason.
A poor onboarding experience is probably why Bluesky users think nostr is full of bigoted extremists (who do exist, but are relatively few, and easily muted).
This is why it’s that much more important for us to dive into Global on a regular basis and help guide new users into following good people, setting up relay configs, etc.
Use wss://welcome.nostr.wine to make it easier to find newcomers. (Disable other global relays to filter the feed to newbies).
We can share the amazing #introductions experience many of us had with the next “generation” of users. We need to.

quoting note14vk…yh5aI don’t agree. Some people are like that, sure, but the OP hasn’t written anything that suggests to me that he has that mindset.
His reaction to the global feed, if you’re new here, is very understandable. There is some heinous stuff out there.
It’s a mindset shift for most people to learn that we can (and must) control the content we consume. Our society has been conditioned to take whatever is served up with a dopamine hit.
If someone is showing up to nostr this early, that’s a huge start. “The first step is realizing there’s a problem” and all that.
Nostr is in a stage, in my opinion, where nurturing new users and helping people get accustomed to a new way of engaging is crucial to growing this network.
