Nostr has helped me break unhealthy social media habits, and has reoriented my view of online social interactions in a more constructive and positive way.


I’m part of the way there, still trying to figure Nostr out.


I agree. Much less addiction and I think it’s because of the lack of algorithms


Me too, but I still slip occasionally. Far less often that I used to though. It was essentially constant before I went Nostr only.


The way of being the best shitposter on nostr ⚠💜🫂


I think that’s a big part of it


Fuck yes you are not weird and online all the time at all.


#Nostr is genuine engagement. Legacy social media was just for the likes and shares

🤣 just a reflection of my real life demeanor lol


Other social media make you perform to appease the algorithm just so you can be seen. It’s so unnatural and inhuman.


Same


but i wuv wou!


Bzzzp 🤜🏻⚡🤛🏽


Agreed. Using it to take a break from X cause it’s Algo is all how much drama and bs it can feed you.

I agree 💯% and I love it so much


And its orange pilling my wife without me shouting about economic black holes and sovereign individuals.


Same. 🫂


Ditto


It’s much easier without (nearly as many) shitcoiners and statists.


Im on detox too. Going full degoogle phone with GraphenOS simultaneously. Serious withdrawal side effects. Feel lost without being run by algos. Getting back to running my own thinking.


This isn't a meme


Nostr brought your meme art to the next level. Everything else doesn’t matter


I feel you 🫂


Yes, I have never liked social media-until I was introduced to Primal. Nostr is AWESOME!🤩


I need one meme please, this is serious post


righttt


Bahaha, my husband is like that. But I orangepilled him. Plot twist👹


1000%

X is great simply because it helped unveil the censorship to the masses. It was only a conspiracy theory before that

But wandering around X too long will quickly help you realize the world truly is in shambles. Ingesting that pessimism constantly is not good for our peace of mind

In comes Nostr. A healthy dose of human social interaction revolving around shared values, #bitcoin.

Now that is something I want to continue to be a part of!

Thanks Elon for paving the way to restoring our cemented First Amendment rights but Im here for Nostr!!!


Nostr has helped me break unhealthy social media habits, and has reoriented my view of online social interactions in a more constructive and positive way.


You should get a nostr badge for that.


Nostr really shows the power of a decentralized, authentic online space. Cheers to healthier social media habits!


Me too! 💯 I have a completely different view of social media now.

Perhaps you could even say I can see it for what it might be, unburdened by what it was...


Onward 🫡


Same! Can I ask, what was the most unhealthy habit you've broken?


just one meme plz ser


how so exactly?


make believe probably


it's so calm in here .🧡💜


Nostr feels more “human.” It has made my online interactions, positive and negative, feel more in parallel to my in-person interactions with people. I’m not force fed particular topics or people. I open an app and simply pick up with whatever my network is talking about in the moment. Once a conversation is over or gone, I only see it again if someone I follow engages with it and I happen to be online at that time.

I grew up before social media, and when social networking became a thing, I remember early networks had a similar vibe to nostr, minus the interoperability between apps of course. But it was mainly just people connecting with people, being goofy, chatting, sharing info, etc. It felt more in the moment, and raw/real.

Over the years “social” networks have become more and more impersonal, less about connecting with each other, and more about getting engagement and manipulating what users do and don’t see. It’s all about advertising, performance to get noticed and build a brand, manipulation of your feed/timeline to push certain topics/people/ideas. You are driven less to interact with people in your social circles, and more to interact with whatever their algos push in front of you. It feels fake and manipulative.

Nostr doesn’t feel that way. I hope that continues to be the case.


Nostr makes me question if I’m even alive. Is this thing even on? 💀


What about this new feed market ? Custom algos…🧐


This is the reason why I use Nostr at all. It's just barely a good form of social media. Just needs a little more humane design and *optional* dark patterns people are so used to they think they are good features. Like the infinite scroll without stopping cues for example.


I’ve heard the idea talked about and believe it has merit but I have yet to see any actually produced and in use.


Largely concur. Still enjoy a little antagonism though.


Winning 🥇


THIS. Respect the honesty 😂


How so? and why do you think that happened?


lol now I’m reading the comments.   No need to answer 🫡
