Listening to the Thank God for Nostr pod made me realize why I never got into social media. jimmysong (nprofile…ph8a) had profound insights:
People don't need to know what I'm doing in my everyday life. They don't care, or it's pretty scary if they do.
My family perhaps cares but I can tell them personally about my day when I arrive home from work and I can tell my broader family and friends about how I am doing when we catch up at gatherings.
Social media however is NOT the same as sharing a truly interesting finding or asking for professional advice for example.
I am on nostr to find the signal I need to live a better and more successful life.
NOT TO CHECK OUT PEOPLES' PERSONAL SHIT.
This is something Jimmy put his fingers on really nicely. Social media sucks. And we'll never beat Big Tech in their own game, oh no.
A question to #nostr developers:
YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE WATCHING CAT VIDEOS ALL DAY WILL CARE ABOUT NOSTR?
Answer this question honestly to yourselves. And act accordingly.
