 The funny thing is once you're on #Nostr, you don't go back to legacy social media 

The engagement here is far superior to that on any legacy social media

I genuinely don't feel like using Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter 

Yet, growth is soooo slow on #Nostr

🤔

 I went back to the Fediverse lol 
 What, Mastodon? Or ditto.pub? 
 see poster.place
The fediverse has over 1 million daily active users  
 Looks like Pleroma? 
 It is pleroma 
 My only gripe with Fediverse is that people are kinda vanilla boring, especially on Mastodon.social 
 I use Facebook for reach around music and homeschooling neighbors, also my theatre school shares stuff only there🫠 Other than that, fck them all. 
 Yep, true, Facebook is good for local stuff 🤔 
 It is, well there are no other choices in this field. And it makes me just

 Well, it's to keep in touch with folks in real life, and truly there are no alternatives

You're absolutely right 🤔

It's all people have. Even that marketplace thing does very well 
 Does it? Here everybody is nagging about scams and chaos. nostr:nprofile1qqsd7dva9jdz5ckq69egcc4ucp2xd24mgzf85vs6wagty2qqpfmkepqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82csugz2qt tried to sell something and didn't go through with it I think. 
 I haven't tried marketplace myself, but I hear it works for a lot of people  
 That pages thing is what is keeping Facebook alive 
 For me and around it's groups. Or is it the same thing? 
 No, not the same thing

Pages are like profiles, but for non-individuals 
 The only reason I use Instagram anymore is to communicate with a couple people that I can’t get to switch yet and I don’t have their phone numbers 
 Heard that same thing about every single new social media. 
 Not so. Post.news artifact.news and cohost.org are already dead 
 Not everyone.  I got followed by a med-mastodon.com user today (she's a federal agent).
