Learning out loud here:
I love Nostr and the community here. Relatively high signal, customizable (even to a fault 😂), extendable, etc.
Because I wanted Nostr to grow and compete with the activity on platforms like X for a while I had a goal of having some kind of interaction on Nostr every day whether it was a post, comment, repost, or a handful of zaps.
On reflection I’d prefer a relatively inactive but thoughtful and thought provoking feed. I don’t need the dopamine rush of a firehose feed. I don’t usually want to contribute to a firehose.
There’s a great cohort of builders, artists, cryptographers, shit-posters that you can filter for and have a great experience and in that narrow view it’s already won the social media wars in my eyes. I may hop on Nostr 20 times a day or go a week without opening a client but it won’t be because of any vanity metrics. Touching grass is real. Distractions are real. Lifespans are real.
