Sad to see so many users have left.
Wonder where they went to. I think a lot of people here don't really go back to twitter or try mastodon, and especially not Bluesky.
I assume they are just off social media entirely, which is kind of a good thing.
(I'm not counting the bitcointwitter people, because they're not even really people).
I'm still here, good buddy
For now.....
Yeah, I could see myself maybe falling off in another year.
I came back yesterday, left last December, can confirm ur line of reasoning that it was just no social media
How was the break? What brought you back?
It was good without having socials, I'm not sure what caused my to redownload Amethyst perhaps I missed the voyerism
Re: spotty note coverage in Amethyst, make sure you have some inbox and outbox relays set. Then people will know where to send and receive your notes 👍
I renounced tech and wanted to be in nature, but I've come back to embrace the tech still avoiding algorithms
I gotta assume there was a lot of people that were completely fake (bots) and there were a lot of people that just tried it out n left…
There's a few here and there that surprised me. Who were very active. I didn't delete them, cos they light come back.
Eg nostr:nprofile1qqs2j6345gjyq2uqwhzd5g8sgaufdt7vxw2md7kk8cc2vj9gyg4x56gprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7q2ywaen5te0dehhxarjd3skuepjvaj8wdm8xdunwdmrw3n8gmmkwe5kcdekwech26ts09kk7dm5wd3hgmrcwp5hw6mwv4m85enfvshx7mnfdahz7zgll9s
Yeah he was interesting, one of the first people I got into regular communication with on here.
This is the proof of weird, only the weirdos stick with it haha
I assume a lot of them just got fed up with all the broken apps (literally every client in some way) and lack of anything resembling discovery and search and fucked off to wherever.
I wonder what the 'wherever' is tho 🤔 for a quite a few people I couldn't really imagine them going elsewhere. Perhaps lurking on twitter. But mostly off social media.
Lurking is a good bet. Sometimes you just want to experience the cringe factor without being the cringe.
we need more bot content. not the spammy kind, but something you would use a browser for. like an rss feed
I have lots of RSS accounts I follow here. It can be really janky tho
what's good signal that's not already here?

You basically want content bots that pepper people's feeds with conversation pieces (not about fucking b*tcoin) and adds a certain serendipity and spice to the timeline.
Yep. I like nostr:nprofile1qqsdh9xslfjjsq05dahyvgclgd0ljzdzef072jqs349qfp7evn2ax4gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7g40wal, for instance.
Tellingly, that one's from Mastodon. If I had to defect anywhere that would probably be it... Just because of it's sheer relative size, while the political climate is very different than mine (but that seems to vary instance-to-instance), it's depth means that I find more culturally relevant stuff there.
I do like the people here though, the conversations and personalities are fun 😁
Oh nice, I've added it to the follow pack. I have noticed Mastodon have a lot of content bots, I think quite a few stopped working for me maybe, or it may be a relay thing not sure.

there's also a list i made of content bots:
Definitely
What were you thinking tho? Any examples from elsewhere?
An RSS reader nostr app would be great. Not sure it'll ever happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
why not? we can build anything
I can't even vibe code lol
But it shouldn't be impossible newsblur is open source, so I assume that helps if you want to make a clone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you mean read nostr in an rss reader? that's interesting 🤔
Not what I was thinking. We'll sort of.
It would have a nostr feed section.
But I was mostly thinking of an RSS reader like newsblur and all that but with a nostr log in and social function, sharing/ commenting on stuff
I *believe* there is something like what you said already tho.
I think you can turn npubs into RSS feeds with something called #castr
Maybe Nostr was never meant to be the next big platform.
Maybe it was built to free us, to guide us back to truth, simplicity, and real human connection.
The beautiful irony of it all:
Nostr freed us from the grip of the social media matrix, but in doing so, became a martyr itself.
This is the future, we just don’t know it yet
Everyone quitting social media?
Nostr is the future. It’s not Gab, it’s not Parler, it’s not Gettr. Twitter is on life support.
They did not quit dopamine.
We are the real ones, just chilling with the bots. 🤖
Who are you talking about?
I just hate social media and will disappear for days at a time.
I was gone for a while and may uninstall this week. I just got bored. Went to Lemmy. It is not perfect, but it's the best reddit like social media. Also I mostly align with the left and while Lemmy users are way too to the left (sorry, not English speaker and not enough time to check how to say it), it's better than here where 90% of users cannot sleep knowing there are people that like to have sex with people of their same gender
still here
