 jus me or is nostr way more quieter than usual 

might need to follow another 1k+ plebs 
 👀  
 💯 it’s been dead. might need to do the same and unfollow all my current follows who’ve become inactive 
 I’ve only done that once before.. unfollowed everyone that hadn’t posted in 3 months+ 

Def gotta do it again tomorrow it only took about 20-30 mins and was super worth it 
 I look for new follows from the notes that get re-posted by my current follows.  
 I used to get mines from #PlebChain early on when it was pure high signal 😭 gooood times 
 Yup. there were a couple of good guys like @ИΛKΛDΛI  that made lists of high value follows in the beginning of nostr which proved very helpful to me. Hell, I even made it on the lists and have no clue why as I'm a total retard. 
 That dudes a legend! I remember those! 
 Turns out hell threads were the signal 😂 
 🤣 seriouslyy 
 Been a while for me so I just did mine again. Deleted over 250 contacts that were inactive or “deleted” accounts. 🤯  
 🤯 daamn gonna start my purge now 🫡 
 I want this as a microapp. *puts up @PABLOF7z bat signal* 
 Yep :/ 
 Dam seems everyone is taking breaks around the same time 
 Yes, but the remaining peeps are pure gold 
 Some regular accounts have stopped posting or deleted their profiles.  
 I like that nostr exists but discovering people to interact with is harder without centralization, and we don't have the sheer volume of people as Twitter.com 
 I think that curation is feasible as long as it is content based, not user based profiling. It could be that the current approaches would be effective if there were significantly more people on here. 
 I think we are headed for a decline of empire

I might like to have some idea what's going on in the world at large, but without the global American empire, I suspect most people will be pretty local in their concerns & communication needs

nostr can be a tool for that but I have to get the people I know personally on it
But that is also true of many other protocols

I'm glad nostr exists, and culturally I think these are my people, but it seems to be more of a tool for resisting global censorship inside a global empire and (IMO) not really the right tool for the present or likely future 
 it’s bc we missed u. 

and half of the girls are gone 😔✊🏽 
 i frfr missed yall more 

& das bout the saddest news I’ve heard all week 😭 fuuuu https://i.nostr.build/vG7oP.jpg
