Most people agree that Social Media is broken and that we need to find new solutions. Max DeMarco embarked on a journey to find out more about a new invention called NOSTR. This is his documentary about that journey and his interview with key players.

I've actually been on Nostr myself a few months (and did my own video about it). As with most alternative networks, you see who you put in your feed.

I don't entirely disagree with you about social media but like I've said it us the people who use social media that are mirroring their own personalities. It us not the tech itself. But my post was not about social media in general being perfect, it was about Nostr itself was trying to do to address some common shortcomings identified on existing social media networks. Nostr is not perfect either but it has some interesting and different ideas.
