Over the last few days, I've seen a lot of posts about war, Israel, Hamas, etc. If it wasn't for Nostr, I wouldn't know what's going on. In the past, your favorite Nostr client may not have been the most appropriate place to go when looking for breaking news, however this is changing. The news cycle does find it's way here fairly quickly.

No better place to gather global news but #Nostr IMHO

Since people are noting from around the world on #nostr, you break through propaganda silos.
Yeah, I don't have any skin in the game to make any sort of comment besides this appropriate image from a few years back.
It's good. It's good to be in the know.

I agree with Mallory, but also note that now Xitter incentivises divisiveness and so it should be expected. I think many people want to post in a measured way if they are capable and nostr allows this
It's honestly refreshing to have a wide range of perspectives.
It's okay to learn about current events from a wide range of perspectives. The problem with centralized platforms is the way that it's handled and spoon-fed to make us engage and enrage. At least here's we don't have controversial content being thrown at us non-stop. I believe the difference is important.
The aura of boosting positive news is what makes Nostr so infectious π«π«π«
Absolutely. We are the algorithms.
Zaps help to incentivize this.
Humans are curious creatures. I don't think you'll ever be able to escape all news. At least it's not as prominent here as other places, right? Most news here focuses on building and positivity.
