One of the things that legacy social media has developed is each platform has its “job to be done.” 

LinkedIn … professional
Twitter … current events / commentary
Instagram … showcase / dream
Facebook … community engagement

NOSTR clients don’t have that same definition. Whereas I held on to my LinkedIn profile far longer than the rest, it had clear methods of activating its usefulness - albeit using the legacy system.

While NOSTR is fun for bitcoiners to high five and lament each other, the next step - the most important step, IMO - is coordinating real actions between networked individuals.

I set up my real profile here for that purpose…I’m kinda skeptical sitting here on day 2…let’s see how it goes.

**Shouting into the abyss of the protocol to my 1 (probably bot) follower right now.** 

 Hi Brock, I'm also a new user of NOSTR and recently deleted my LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook as well. Well, actually I still have an Instagram for my business but that plays an important role in my work (unfortunately).

I think most of my distaste for social media comes from the fact that it is controlled and manipulate by those entities that run their platforms. 

I'm optimistic that a protocol like NOSTR can help people communicate more like they did back in the "good old days" of blogging and message forums.

So far I like it. While the community is small right now, hopefully most of us are united around some common core values and it will only grow in the direction we want from here. If it never reaches mass appeal, I don't see that as a bad thing.

Enjoy your time here!
