Pete Ashton on Nostr: Commerical algorithms suck, but messages appearing in a dizzying range of contexts at ...
Commerical algorithms suck, but messages appearing in a dizzying range of contexts at random is worse. The cognitive load needed to parse a stream is intense and it’s no wonder people fuck up. I don’t believe anyone sets out to be an obnoxioius reply-guy - the medium is the cause through catastrophic context collapse. We have no idea why someone posted what they did or to what end, so we project the only thing we’re sure of - ourselves. (2/7)
