 Folks leave nostr saying that they can’t get engagement but I’m not sure if they are understanding the flow. 

Reaching humans is better than reaching empty bots. nostr:note1le5s5jftn3gnv5vgzn9s7mzzxdypdkgddde7ejkxgn5p0pqy9p3s0quxkf 
 X taught me just how incredibly attractive I am to cute, young, single Chinese women who, by coincidence, will be traveling to my city soon for a wedding.  Who knew?! 
 Well, not anyone has your eyes. 
 Notes that read folk attract me blokes who folk notes 
 Folk me notes 
Are content Goats 
But Rarer than Notes that regular ₿lokes notes which are jokes 
 Jokes are folks who refuse to note notes
A joke is a note not noted by thy folk 
 to not note is the only joke
Neigh you are not that folk
Your notes are note jokes
Your folk notes note of folks in notes and other totes 
 ah folk i am missing a not in there 
 Neigh your pitch notes, 
they’re coarse as a horse. 
Not letters in a tote
I need meat in that chorus 
 Yeah, I have similar interaction rate here, as there. Probably because I left there before the bots got too bad and I'm mostly off the bot-ridden relays, here. 
 the main difference i notice is that on twitter, replies often get more engagement compared to top-level posts
here it's the other way around
(probably because twitter shows replies from people you follow, to people you follow by default?)
 
 I never use X but the weird things people say there are a constant source of amusement.

If folks don’t want a free and open internet that’s on them.
