Thinking about #nostr and growth and how we can fall into the pitfalls of old school social media. The likes of Facebook, Twitter, etc got to the size they did through unethical, addictive algorithms and backroom deals. Nostr is not that. It’s organic and organic growth does not follow the trajectories of traditional social media. We should be onboarding as many as we can but if they don’t hang around that’s fine. Nostr shouldn’t need people chronically online to survive. It’s okay if people came back sporadically. Value4value lies at the heart of this new age of social interaction online. When you’ve filled your cup, come and share it, let yourself be filled. When you need to take a step away, do it and come back when ready.

Started the Joe Pickett series by C. J. Box last week. Already on book 6, someone help I have 25 books in total to go before my brain will let me read anything else

GM #nostr, thinking through how our existence could probably be defined by the word “overextension”. By overextension I mean we stretch things past their natural capacity. We’ve overextend: Money Government Food Environment Schools Communities Purpose Humanity Fitness Entertainment Family Business Am I advocating for degrowth? I guess I kind of am, centralisation is the scourge of humanity. It’s ironic that my favourite show, Star Trek: TNG, shows a future of almost perfect bureaucratic bliss. If such a thing was possible it would be great. "I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before…Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can’t be right. I need a change, or something.” - Fellowship of the Ring

It’s wet and miserable outside but putting this on an imagining myself in the warmer climates of the US
