One reason I like nostr is to get away from social media that serves up content based on algos. Twitter is actually okay when you sort your posts only by latest instead of "top" posts. Then you see only what your follows are posting and come to the end of the content rather than being constantly served up an endless stream. However the people I follow may not be doing that and there is probably some spillover from the algo into my feed because of it. Also Musk treating Twitter as his own little playground is problematic for me.

Right now there is a constant stream of posts on nostr and it's easy to get sucked in for hours. At least it's just a raw feed, though, and not some carefully calculated system to drive "engagement" and sell ads.
