 Really interesting observation since spending six (6) days on Nostr: this thing is complete dopamine detox. As a result people seem to actually engage with each other and share their thoughts instead of engineering posts and comments to get more likes or followers. 

I have no idea how many likes my posts get, I have no idea how many followers I have, all I see is anon avatars and people called depressed analplug or horny hailbutt. It's the polar opposite of what social media has come to be.

 Twitter is brain cancer for ego-retards. 
 One rough UI edge is pasting links to notes. Looks like you pasted a direct primal link, which will break or render messy in quite a few apps, including in primal itself. Not sure how this can be improved. 
 My brother in christ I literally have no idea what I'm doing – it said "copy link to note", do you know what the correct way of doing it would be? Or is this more of a general problem?  
 Adding "nostr:" in front of note seems to work in many clients, in this case:

 nostr:[node ID] 
 If you copy the note ID and then when you paste it add an @ to front of it that way it'll direct link the note

 For Primal, copy Note ID. That should give you eh the note id :-)

To have it as a direct link, indeed add nostr: in front of it.

 Sorry for the spam, somehow the reply didn't show up and I kept retrying. 
 oh nice, thank you! 
 For Primal, copy Note ID. That should give you eh the note id :-)

To have it as a direct link, indeed add nostr with a colon in front of it.

 Its addictive but it very different and not dopamine infused way 
 it's like going back to the days before facebook, so much better

i've been using internet social media since 1995, i consider mailing lists to be the original, and i was offline most of the 90s after that but when i finally got back online (was super expensive in australia) in 2002 i found dmt world and thehive and had so many interesting interactions and from 2006 or so until i finally rage quit FB for its inserting ads into my feed with no way to exorcise them in 2018 i've been hoping that eventually someone would bring back that feeling from the old days

the culture has been so warped around the manipulations of the feeds of all the silos that it really is a detox coming to nostr, welcome btw! 
 We are only people communicating with other people. 
 nostr is the shit because it sucks at a lot of things for now…😅

there’s def. some thinkboi influencers here from bitcoin twitter, way less though 🤙🏽 
 great usernames 
 I just stsrted on here but hopefully it’s a little like Threads in that respect. Lots of good convo there.
