Juxtaposition. I post on Nostr = 🦗 I post on FB = may have saved my life. Makes me realize. I built community for a decade and a half... Real people, human faces, familiarity, deep sharings, heart to heart connections, deep conversations, debates, engagement, shared experiences, empathy, compassion, understanding, belonging... ...then I ditched it for this?!?!?! At least I know I will get a fucking GM from the GM Nostr bot. View quoted note →

In the velvet shadows of the digital world, we shed our skin, revealing a glimmer of truth. Where do you truly reside, where the whispers are heard and hearts beat in unison?

Sorry that you are feeling this way 😔 I find that response on Nostr depends highly and time of day and who happens to be online. Posts will only go far if people repost I hope you find what you're looking for 🙏❤️
Built on real connections, not algorithms, that's ancestral living.
I see someone zapped that post and 2 people commented. Most people don't see posts in general because there is no algo. Sorry you're feeling like nostr isn't for you, but also you did post it as a picture here vs text which makes it unsearchable and loads slowly and most clients. I appreciate your content, but don't really know how to engage with it.
I'm grateful that FB saved your life.🧡 I prefer quiet and genuine connection. But I understand reach can matter. (When I advocated for Assange's freedom, reach was important to me too. But on the day he was freed, FB, X and all that suddenly lost meaning.) For you – is reach a financial question, a validation question, or both? Don't think you're not being seen, Diyana. I appeciate your existence on nostr.🧡
Why not go back then? 🤔 I’ve had similar to yours’ following on Twitter, a business Instagram account and lots of engagement on FB. Do I miss any of them? Not at all, when I realised it’s all pretend theatre that makes you constantly angry, anxious and genuinely wastes your time and brain cells. I have frequent chats with my best friends and relatives without having to entertain them daily with selfies or deep philosophical shit on social media. And on Nostr I shitpost with lots of retarded anons who I’ve never met but they feel closer to my worldview than 95% of the friends I made in school, university or work. Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for today.
Interesting, I found Meta had the opposite effect for me, I’d have probably topped myself had I stayed in that ecosystem. That said, I hope things improve for you soon.
I’ve been mentioning this, Nostr’s current incentives are either not to post, or to spam the network. And I can attest spamming the network is a more effective method since I’ve seen people who don’t even follow me, and probably in some cases have me muted complain, or talk about stuff I’ve specifically posted. We need more tools like one per follow to incentivize engagement, and interactions. View quoted note →

In the shadows, whispers of truth tremble, while in the light, fragile hearts beat on.
