 After Nostr, it's hard for me to go back to other platforms since my mentality has diverged a lot with their typical users. I prefer a slow feed, anyway 
 Yes 
 Just wish some of the peeps I used to chat with on x were here. 
 Someone’s gotta make the first move 🫡 
 Yeah, all of my friends are still on Discord 
 I had the same experience when I quit everywhere and joined the Fediverse in 2019. Social media without corporations deciding what’s important is more natural and human. I’m not sure if it’s the smaller community element I prefer. I’ve been using this place as the Fediverse has grown significantly since 2022.

I sometimes wonder how zaps will affect things when the platform is bigger. At this scale, it works nicely. 
 People here are more likely to be independent thinkers as well. Everywhere else I see armchair quarterbacks and people who overly identify with what they consume and whom they vote for. But here...people actually make things 
 Nostr is like driving on a scenic country road vs. driving in a loud congested city(X). 
 Sometimes my feed is literally scenic 😄
