Fun fact: Most of the popular super Nostriches you all worship live a double life and are mainly on LSM. They only drop by here to visit their colony. They lecture you about sovereignty and freedom yet they haven't even been able to break free from their own addiction to a large audience. I'm a native. I live and work here. Who else?

By far the healthiest place is here. Full control and no algorithms for me is a great trade-off. Given that I wasn't using LSM anyways, it wasn't hard for me to become a nostr-native. I'm discounting the fact that I keep social relations on certain LSM, use traditional messengers and watch youtube. But over time I hope to squeeze that last portion of utility and value out of them and move over to full sovereignty. The sad thing is in fact that, as you said, many are just too comfortable, addicted or dependent (in the case of those with large audiences) to hit the switch. They won't be able to benefit from the more "real" interactions, as well as the real control over one's social media experience. I empathise with them, but I also prioritise listening to those who are real on Nostr since that for me is signal above noise. For some reason, the ones active on twitter carry over a vibe that can be felt, a kind of sickness where their words need to fight for survival, instead of just being. The complete opposite to the "GMs" and "here's my update from the farm" or the simple quotes or handmade artwork that individuals distribute here on Nostr. You control your feed, and you can choose whatever experience you like. The perfect example for me was the "drama" that went down last weekend. Two highly active "celebrities" carrying over tons of social anxiety into their behaviour. People reacting out of excitement. But very quickly, the fight dies down and for 3 days I hear people posting about how important it is for us to stick together. That's what happens when you don't have an algorithm feeding the fire. The difference is clear as day for me. So keep on going, Nostr-natives. Share whatever you like and build your circle. Nice to make your acquaintance, by the way 😉

Nostr only 🤘 The last social media I was on before this was Nexopia in 2005 (shoutout if you have ever heard of this, which is highly unlikely). Never been on Twitter, IG, none of that shit. No one knows me, no one cares, and that's just the way I like it. I'm here to practice my writing in a semi-public fashion and provide unsolicited comments in random discussions.
