 i hang on Nostr a lot, but it's rare that i post here.

so, i wanted to take a moment to express my awe and appreciation for the people here.

the devs are building ingenius freedom tools. and fun features.

the plebs (including each unique individual here, side-by-side with many brilliant "large-following-on-twitter-but-here-just-one-of-us" writers and thinkers) all hang out together and manifest this free, funny, and open community.

i would not have expected that an online social space could ever actually regain the respectful, thoughtful, authentic nature of engagement that we've discovered and created here on Nostr.

it's a breath of fresh air, a sight for sore eyes, and i can't fully express how extraordinary this is. thank you - to every one of you.

i'm not normally big on hashtags... but #grownostr and #plebchain feel quite appropriate today 🫂💜⚡🤝🤙

onward 🫡 
 reposting for time zones, and because i'm feeling proud of the note 💜

also, since i haven't spent a ton of time engaging, i've found that my following feed (and interactions with my own notes) both tend to feel a bit sleepy

is the best way around this simply to talk to more people, follow more accounts, make more frens, and post better content? i still feel sort of "new" here #introductions

is there any relay reconfiguration i should also consider, if i want a more robust and active Nostr social experience? #asknostr

and as i said, i'm reluctant to use hashtags as a general rule... (they often feel trendy-cringe/cliche, or like engagement farming). but in this case i'm hoping to expand my connections here, so screw it...

finally, are there any "off-the-beaten-path" accounts i should follow, either plebs who are active daily but not particularly well-followed, or any "content creators" that you personally enjoy reading notes from (outside of the bitcoin space because i think i've got that covered LOL)

thanks, Nostr 🤘
