 I really do think what we know as “online culture” was a natural human response to these heavily moderated and centralized platforms. It really reinforced the in-group vs out-group dynamics. Like “if I say xyz then I could get banned” is a social fear that was basically entirely created on legacy social media. That’s wild to think about. 

Glad you got a kick out of my #nostr influencer choices. Haha 🤣 
 Right on friend so I’m kind of weird. Appreciate your views as this explains many of my issues 🤣🤣🤣🙏😘 Legacy SM … more books to read. 

 I never got online until 2017 … probably. Then it was Reddit & specialized boards. 

Didn’t go to Twitter* until 2022 IIRC & was shadow banned from week 3 #onward
Which made me angry. 😠 thought it was worth it but eventually left for almost a year 🤣🤣🤣 Denied all the various blue sky & other SM offers that came at me in 2022. 

Last year I decided to return to Tweet mode after healing ❤️‍🩹.  A sassy honey trap eventually got me to go to BS which led to here. And wait @jack is the guy who created Twitter …. Curious AF 🤣

#Nostr is nice. But it’s so much more. World Peace & eventuality of universal truths is what it is for me.

Aaron Swartz became my hero in 2023 which led me here. 🥰🙏🫂 To honor memories of those who gave for freedom tech. To honor memory of friends lost in wars. Make small amends for my past experiences in life by contributing to what SM should have been. 🥹📄✨ 

This pic popped up as I was moving so I’ll leave it 🤣🙏 https://image.nostr.build/cf2d5eb40be6a321193beec428f900c0c7d63bfaaa496db6d78643006d6bfc6c.jpg
