Despite being able to drive some traffic to nostr using my education technology and UX strategy, I’ve more or less abandoned an account with 130,000 followers.

The reason for this is because I actually cared about those folks but most algorithm platforms treat following as a signal for algorithm curation rather than to generate a community or network of people.

It’s better to start over and to market to people I “care less about” in the sense that I don’t have any identity-based reasons to connect other then to focus on distribution, that is, the distribution of education and the decentralization of identity.

It’s a tough choice to make, but one that is more operationally sustainable. I genuinely hate the feeling of identity consumption.

takes courage, gg

A heartbreaking amount of time, money and energy lost, but I guess that’s the cost of entrepreneurship and learning. I’m pretty proud of the engineering at least and I’m grateful to have discovered nostr as a consequence of it.
