Been thinking recently about this and I do think it’s been a net negative.
I had far fewer occasions to get angry or blackpilled, and more time being productive and fully present, when I spent zero time on social media. Nostr definitely included on all counts.
And I have a really clear memory to show me this contrast because I had basically been on a social media fast for 10 years, 2010-2020.
Not sure what I will do about this, especially now that I’m a parent 😅 on the one hand, it seems like an obvious choice to leave all social media, especially on a bad day. On the other hand, I’ve learned a great deal on faith, parenting, and art/professional fronts in Facebook groups, and made friends and money on Nostr. The thought that there is such promise on Nostr is keeping me here as much as habit.
