I came to Nostr having avoided essentially all social media. I&#39;m also Gen X and used IRC, icq, bulletin boards and newsgroups in the early 1990s but by the late 90s the corporate direction and the loss of that early &#34;it&#39;s our internet&#34; vibe, disillusioned me and I avoided all the big platforms from then on. &#xA;     I have felt that same early enthusiasm and excitement on nostr and I share your positive view on it&#39;s potential. I do also share your view that it will change, to what degree and in what direction, who knows? Your insights do provide a clue. As a &#34;naive to social media&#34; user I notice there are obvious behaviours that frankly I haven&#39;t been aware of. The attention farming aspect and with it a somewhat detached &#34;communication&#34; with other users is something I didn&#39;t see on nostr in the early days but it seems to be evident now as more users who are probably using other platforms in that way start to join nostr. I am frankly a bit in awe of the narcissism that I have probably avoided over the last twenty years. &#xA;   I look forward to reading more of your work.</html></oembed>
