 I think it also has to do with the fact that you don’t know anybody (personally) on Nostr, because they are still all on the legacy social media, which in my head kinda equates to going to parties with total strangers on your own. It’s a little awkward and hard work to make friends. 

Then again, for now, I think Nostr is more or less in a “follow the celebs who’s thoughts you enjoy” state, and not much “plebs following plebs” yet, and that’s ok. We’ll get there eventually, I think, but for now it’s still mainly “famous” people spewing notes and us reacting to them.. which begs the question.. why on earth am I writing this in the first place? 🤷🏼 
 You are definitely using Nostr in a different way than I do 
 And thats ok! You can use it any way you want. That’s the beauty, isn’t it? 

I have no interest in becoming popular or a thought leader or whatever. I’m here because after 2 decades of waiting, I can finally make the occasional snide remark below a popular post without leaking all my personal shit to advertising companies!
