There's a striking difference between X & Nostr.
X had an addictive element, probably due to the algorithm. Tweets seem to go into the ether unless you have a sizeable following or get retweeted by someone who has.
Nostr feels quieter for sure and its taken me a while to get my head into it but mostly to push past that lack of algorithmic stimulus.
Much like Bitcoin there's a certain proof of work element and you get out what you put in. The discussions and insights I've gained here are second to none. They are authentic and stimulating in a good way - ethnically & spirituality.
There's less hate and more hope.
Refreshing.
My Nostr experience is so much better these days than 6 months ago
1) invest in putting out quality content on a consistent basis
2) check the trending page and interact
3) be generous with zaps. Always
4) follow accounts you’ve never heard of
5) try to reply to comments promptly and with quality replies
With these 5 things, which are hardly rocket science, I’ve felt the quality of my experience improve
The people it has attracted
The accounts I’ve found
The information I see
The wisdom I gain
And the best bit about it? It can never be taken from me, as a censorship resistant protocol, with the user at the centre
This is true capital allocation
Imagine what the experience will be like a year from now? 2 year? 5 years?
🙏🏻
