 Yeah, no joke.

How do you get 53 boosts? I can't even find 53 people, on here! 😂 
 maybe it's just the same people 53 times ! 
 Thats like some big person that everyone follows for reasons I don’t understand… 
 Following has become incredibly concentrated. It keeps getting worse and worse.

There's like 150k users that just come, look at the top ten posts, and leave. And then there's 50 of us normies normying, off in a corner.

We should just start a Telegram group. 😂 
 There are actually a lot of Nostr Telegram groups, Discord groups, SimpleX chats, Slack teams, Reddit forums, Stackerwhateverpage, etc. Everyone talking about Nostr, but not on Nostr because in those other places, you don't have to be popular to have a conversation. People just talk to whoever is around and wanting to talk.

This social media stuff just sucks, man. You can be sitting there, surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people, and feel completely alone.

This is part of the reason I stopped using everything but nostr for my social media of choice & dead bird app for my news…
No one ever interacted much if ever. 
 def feels like a rough patch for maybe 6 mo, i have lots of hunches about the many broken things but like you i hit a threshold of the amount of debugging im willing to participate in so i just hunker down, when the ice age thaws we are still top of the game 🦖

even big accounts will notice eventually that shit aint workin.
 
 It's amazing how long they can go, without noticing, tho. 
 the ice age.. could be a while 🦖 
 You keep getting kicked off of my relay list for myterious reasons. I add you back on, like once per week. 😅  
 lmao, nooo, is it 🐛? or is it a rogue mod, or rogue undeletable list 😂..
