 Person upset that people are posting things they are interested in. Anyone else bored of this take? It’s newly developing tech and it’s why many of us are here, people will naturally want to talk about it. I see plenty of memes and news that keeps my feed interesting. Sure we’re not twitter scale, so we are obviously not going to have as much variety. So what? It’s insanely hard to bootstrap a new social network, the progress we’ve made in a year is actually mind blowing. nostr:note1jm48up9qsztl4ru55ez3mm6n2gwhydpwfjzenyxu4f6j0m3hr7js9fl3d3 
 Start posting new shit then, the oyster is your world. You are the algo son, get to work. Beep beep chop chop. 
 Exactly! Only boring people are bored 🤣 
 Dude, people love to complain but offer zero solutions.   
 I know right? It’s so easy to complain. Solution’s on the other hand… 
 i do that all the time 
 Not you @jb55 
 You’re doing f’ing great Will. On that note thank you and GN 🤙 
 temporary mutes can’t come soon enough. put the annoying takes in timeout. 
 Thanks for building @damus  @jb55 ! I talk about it on a daily basis 🤣 
 Very much agree. I've only been active a few weeks, but it feels very much like bootstrapping the Bitcoin community circa 2012. Eventually you talk about something else. 😏 
 It’s been 13 years, I’m kind of bored talking about bitcoin (almost 😆). This is new and shiny and fun. 
 I’m bored of the internet in general 
 There are still people who hate Bitcoin (nostr, LN, …) no matter what you say. And these are a different breed and we can do nothing about. Let’s keep doing what we are doing and eventually they will find their way. 
 Didn't put me on screen cap that was his loss 🤣 
 Not directing this at you @sommerfeld , just this take in general 🤙 
 Direct it at me, I can take it ❤️ 
 Hey @jb55 , I’ve never had a Twitter or Instagram so I don’t have the best frame of reference, but my experience on Damus so far has been pretty rad. At first, my experience was kind of like @sommerfeld mentioned, but I didn’t follow a lot of people nor did I know you could mute things. Now that I follow a lot of really interesting people, it’s great. I don’t know shit about Bitcoin or development, but I find plenty of content that is amusing as hell. I think users should take accountability for their own experience. If you don’t see the type of content you enjoy, create it. 
 this is the attitude we need! 🫂 
 followed 
 Solid follow so far 🤙 
nostr:note1g43n7t2hgn0d6s5u57p28yc846klr7ktlukp9hvwr9akgce9ksfq80pje9 
 😂yeah like that 
 Be the content you want to see in the world 
 - or something 
 Or…to shit post, first become shit yourself 💩 
 oh man. i like people who never had twitter or instagram. 
 Same here.  Never had twitter! 
 It’s a pleasure to have another pleb join the party. You’re officially a nostrich, so go forth, learn and have a blast. Incidentally, whilst you may not understand some of the jargon we use, you’ll find that most of the trendy phrases and sayings of today were founded by “the nerds”, so you’re in the right place and the perfect time.  Enjoy! And happy holidays.
🧡🫂💜🔱 
 Aww thanks. I hope you were able to find your mouse 🌈. 
 Shhh! 😂😂😂 
 ChowCollection @chowcollection
posts lots of great modern indy rock from Japan, tons of girl-bands, really worth a listen for something different and refreshing! 
 This is life outside the algorithms.  Take personal responsibility for your feed as suggested. Also, do your best to bring in others who you find interesting in all aspects of your life. More viewpoints mean more content mean more adoption!!🫡 
 I think you should be very proud of what you've created @jb55 , the same goes for the other devs. It's such a joy seeing this evolve in real time. 

"Góðir hlutir gerast hægt" - Icelandic version of "Good things come to those who wait".  
 This is the only social media I have ever used. I can't imagine using anything else, as I just don't have the time. I was never attracted to any other, because it seemed too fake/controlled and propagandistic. 

I have always been attracted to the perfectly imperfect, because that is what makes us human and what connects us. Fuck the polished, fake plastic watering cans. I want people to laugh at, to laugh with, and to tell our stories to. 
 I will be blocked on any social network. So the right option for me is not a portal, but a protocol. 
 🤝 
 I could not agree more. 
 🤝💪 
 Agree on everything. In fact, I only keep my X account to find out what is happening in my home country. Because even if you don’t like X, it’s still the place where public debate is generated from afar. Still. 
 I only use nostr anymore. Everything else is mostly noise. People that don’t get it are a part of the noise 
 Nostr is good chaos. No algorithms, no tyrannical and manipulative entities. 
 Correct take, Will 👾💜 
 Need more shitposting 🤗💜
#Nostr wins 🏆 
 I think optimism is a realistic attitude

Yes growing new social networks takes a very, very, very long time

Nostr has the ingredients to run a marathon and win

While having a blast along the way

Nostr's inherent disadvantages are strongest over the short term 
 I love it here. If you’re bored you’re boring 
 Your post is generating a lot of discussion.
Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed 
 "The progress we've made in a year is actually mind blowing" I've never been a part of something moving faster than nostr, good or bad.  
 Nostr has become so great in such a short time that a lot of people forget this.

Thank you for all your hard work Will
