I'm a Twitter veteran from 2008 and was a pretty prolific poster there with a modest following for many years... but I haven't tweeted since months before X.
I was an early nostr adopter also and zapped encouragement to many, especially devs for awhile. All in on #grownostr, stay humble, stack sats, zappity zap. But I took a long break from nostr too after Nostrgram stalled out back in April something, because it was just getting kinda discouraging. No depth, no real content, no engagement.
So yesterday I scanned all the current web clients on Nostr again, and honestly it's still a dumpster fire here for me:
Scrolling a feed is still often an exercise in frenetic lurching from page to page b4 I can read a post, mingled with "page unresponsive" msgs and stalled image renders. But most importantly, the content is... still mostly unintelligible and largely ignored/abandoned notes with very few coherent threads or real conversations. Despite my best effort to construct meaningful posts, I get almost no engagement, and the high percentage of notes without a single reply is telling. I find practically no news or enlightenment on current events in the world, and tons of faux profundity (silly memes). As social media goes, nostr is still just not worth a zap.
