 Nostrs’s greatest strength and greatest weakness is being like real life. 

Kinda boring sometimes. Mostly pleasant, not too much outrage. Normal people doing normal things. Going about their lives without much fanfare. 

The experience is suboxone to the rest of social medias Chinese fentanyl.

 I am nostr only precisely for that reason : I don't enjoy Chinese fentanyl

 This will be a fun one to revisit in the future when the necessity of censorship resistant free speech is more in your face.

 I never get bored here. Always something to do. I've started creating alt accounts to create meta memes to crack myself up. For example, I made @TiredBen just to post notes that i can use to make note quote memes. 🤣

 It does feel weird to not see so many engagement posts, and just see some raw thoughts, notes, and ideas shared.

Take away the incentive and you get more objectivity.

 I think being "boring" and having lack of outrage is due to the underlying affinity of many here. I can imagine it being a lot less boring if it had global reach and participation. In other words the last bastion of free speech.
