I'm on FB and X.
FB is a joke, it's all ads and promotions from this or that page, company, whatever. Doomscrolling is real, and the reels take up a lot of my time mostly because I'm bored.
X is useful for those few profiles that post updates on some things I care about. but those profiles are drowned out by the noise, and almost nobody reacts or responds when I post. I usually give up within a few minutes and close it down.
Nostr is where I come to interact with other humans who care about the same things that I do. We may have different ideas, ideology, whatever. But only here do we have a foundation that we can use to build. Monetary foundation, Trust foundation, Information foundation, Inspiration foundation. It's all built into the protocol. I know if I see a post, 99% of the time the person who typed it is the person who created it. Even Reposts identify the source, not the person who hit share. So if I like a post, I can support the source. And I can trust it, even if I disagree with it. The information is secure, once a post goes out it's locked and whoever made the post has to be accountable for it. And if someone gets an idea first, nobody else can claim they had that idea earlier because timestamps are recorded.
I really believe that all social media roads will lead to Nostr. All we need is bridges built to and from the other networks and systems. No more silos. If someone wants a private conversation, that's a feature that is being developed, but with the base protocol as the foundation.
As far as relevant world events, I'll go to actual news sources for that. Real ones.
