Nostr reads has been an exciting development but still seems to suffer in terms of discoverability. How is Primal learning from and addressing the challenge?
Well, this way you actually have to wait to reply, or otherwise pay higher fees. It would have curbed the shitposting.
But then again, I did start with a shitpost...
Grok,
Explain what it means if someone comments, "shit" on my post?
The vulgar utterance "shit" on your post denotes crude disapproval or disdain, likely from an individual of limited eloquence, incapable of articulating substantive critique. It reflects their intellectual paucity and inability to engage meaningfully with your content.

So my understanding was the comment with the most replies, but I guess that's not how others are treating it.

I'll definitely abandon work that I realize I'm forcing, but this is much more hard-core.
I consider writing on SN to be a deliberate practice (such as Anders Ericsson discusses in Peak), as it's the only place online I've been able to get sound feedback on what I write:
Perhaps the greatest difference between deliberate practice and simple repetition is this: feedback. Anyone who has mastered the art of deliberate practiceโwhether they are an athlete like Ben Hogan or a writer like Ben Franklinโhas developed methods for receiving continual feedback on their performance.
Why does Primal automatically follow a bunch of NSA spy accounts when I make a new npub?
Can I "unfollow all"??
That's a problem indeed. He makes a point about viewing the humanities not just in terms of the Western canon, but as a window into every human society. The moral relativism endemic in our post-secondary institutions may be caused by the tendency to conflate the humanities with humanism, which actually favours scientific secularism, marxist dialectical-materialism, and the like...
It seems like the author is referring to the humanities in a non-normative sense, or by appealing to what it ought to be the case. While I agree that the writing comes off as a bit high-flown, I do, respect and see some value in maintaining a loftier vision to strive toward, especially in terms of our educational capacities.
The post has a great quote about teaching as well that pared out at the last minute since I found it not to be especially coherent with the main thrust. Perhaps :
Few who do can teach, but most who teach can do; they are different skills, only infrequently found together).
