Serious thought for those who love using Nostr (I love it too):
We talk about how we own our content, but do we really post much of anything in our daily social media lives that we even care about after a year? Or a week? Even after a few hours?
I suppose it depends on the content format.
Microblogging is often silly or lacks substance. Lots of memes and wisecracks.
An article, on the other hand, or long-form writing, is something you might want to hang onto for a long time.
Vlogs or podcasts or video podcasts -- we might want to hang onto these, too.
I miss the old days when we used internet forums with conversation threads. I used to frequently go back and review past conversations.
But with today's microblogging, our "tweets" and posts and such, if I don't see something right away on my feed, I often don't go back searching for someone's past posts, or at least not that far back.
What has changed? Is it me or are we all posting less interesting things? Our content is more shallow, perhaps?
I don't know, but this I do know: Facebook is the devil. Nostr is a godsend.
