Go deeper though, do you need them to see it for validation? 

 Go deeper though, why would I engage with someone who doesn't validate my presence? That's literally what simping is. It's the opposite of having conversations. Conversations go back-and-forth, like we're doing, now, and everyone's statement is at least acknowledged, even if you disagree with it.

That used to be what Nostr was like. It's usually just influencers stuff, now. One-way speech. Like, that note coulda been a newsletter. 

 For me, sometimes it's enough to just get my thought out. Whether people resonate or care enough to respond is not up to me 

 Okay, but I'm different. I'm a very social animal. I'm here for chit-chat.

If I just want to get my thought out, I write an article. Not that anyone reads my articles, but it bothers me less. 

 Fair enough. The only advice I could give you is that you're probably better off finding those connections is real life than behind a computer 

 Geez. Reading through this really does sound depressing.  

 You're here now so you can cheer us up! 🤣
 

 I'm really not sure how in this case.  

 I was legit in tears, today. Totally miserable. This is actually the first thread, in a long while, where multiple people showed up to talk, and it wasn't just them screaming at me to kiss some dude's derrier cuz HE'S IMPORTANT.

This has actually cheered me up. There are still some normal humans on Nostr. They haven't all run away. 😆  

 aawwweee. virtual 🫂 from us. Next time u feel alone, dm me we can go stream watch some crazy exhilarating film series that will cheer you up or transfer you to other world LOL ☺️🤣  

 I can go on some bitcoin rants if that will make you happier 

 Yes, we see. You are the most prolific person on nostr. This is why I have joked about you being the Martha Stewart of nostr. Your forest branding is so good. The citadel team is really building on a sound basis. There is also so much potential in what you could craft beyond casual conversations.

I feel like engagement got blown with the great spam attacks of 2024 and the rise of wot plus some clients being outbox and others not. 

I used to have more banger posts but I also haven't had many new developments to tinker with lately besides npub pro   

 Martha Stewart of nostr 😂 

 Creative, capable, funny, opinionated and makes stuffs.
