Subnostr

This may sound like cope, but there's something liberating about having like 3 followers on nostr.

I don't expect people to really see my notes and replies, so I just use it to vent or write down my thinking on things. It acts as a complement to the handwritten journal that I keep.

The external benefit is that when many others do this we have an excellent pure way of seeing what others think, which helps us all calibrate.

The big tech platforms lose this because they amplify the most divisise views, and may even ban you for writing down your thoughts (even if you didn't care that they be widely seen). Also, they own your notes/posts and you don't have any guarantees that they will always be accessible to you.

Thanks I read it and agree it’s a lovely way to put down ones thoughts 💭 🐸🫂

I’ve made a decision to try and up my followers because that way a repost will reach as many as possible - I’m like you not overly concerned about comments on my ramblings - some in the early days (various npubs) are best left there. 🫣

Yeah totally cool to have lots of followers too - it's just interesting that I feel like there's more value on nostr to having few followers vs. the same on corporate social media.

I've got many cringe notes too! Luckily the decentralized nature of nostr probably makes it harder to discover older notes, so they fade in a more natural way like all the dumb shit I said out loud in my 20s
