One of my favorite benefits of Nostr, and more specifically the lack of a broad-brushed algorithm, is the appreciation for the fact that not all spam is created equal.
Anyone who frequents #introductions will recognize me, as I am constantly (let's call it what it is) spamming the replies of newcomers with a pair of introductory resources highlighted by
Derek Ross (npub18am…p424)'s stunning pearly whites.
Yet, as is atypical for spammy behavior, I have gotten nothing but positive feedback after doing this daily now for almost a year straight.
Why? Because it's HIGH-QUALITY, VALUE-PRODUCING spam.
On algo-ruled platforms like X, all spam is treated as "bad", and punished. But here, as long as it's providing value, it's rewarded!
IMO this is an excellent perk, as it makes it much easier to scale high-value content to lots of people, as long as you keep said content relevant and well-targeted. If it doesn't follow those criteria, you get mass-muted. Simple.
Everybody wins on all sides, and community flourishing increases 🫂💜
