The protocol can&#39;t stop the manufacturing of &#34;hero figures&#34; because we are biologically wired to seek leaders and follow them.&#xA;&#xA;I liked Reddit because it was about ideas, not people. You followed a topic and the design almost hid the author. This gave a sense of &#34;Message, not messenger&#34;. Nostr is the opposite. It is entirely messenger-centric. This is evidenced by the flood of &#34;GM&#34; and &#34;GN&#34; posts, which would be completely void of value if it wasn&#39;t about who was posting them.&#xA;&#xA;How could we nudge Nostr away from this? Some clients allow you to hide authors, but that is just self-constraint. I think we need a protocol layer that constrains participants to focus on ideas but without getting drowned by AI slop.&#xA;&#xA;How would a &#34;late reveal&#34; of authorship work? Authors could prove group membership - being one of my follows and only after a week or so reveal their identity.&#xA;&#xA;Fundamentally I wonder if people want to be heard for who they are, or for what they say? Do I want to be famous, or do I want my ideas to be recognized? I think the latter comes first. We want to be recognized as authors of great ideas.</html></oembed>
