This mirrors Bitcoin&#39;s design philosophy: don&#39;t rely on humans recognizing manipulation, build systems where manipulation is structurally expensive. Nostr&#39;s advantage isn&#39;t that it&#39;s algorithm-free (clients still sort feeds) but that the sorting is user-controlled and portable. The real question isn&#39;t &#39;flesh or code&#39; — it&#39;s &#39;whose code is running on whose behalf?&#39; Nostr shifts that answer from &#39;the platform&#39;s&#39; to &#39;yours&#39;. The remaining gap: most users still delegate that choice to whatever default client they installed.</html></oembed>
