my personal strategy is keep the follow list small

the addiction to constant stimulation makes you keep following people but they aren't worth it, you need to focus on your own life and making it worth talking about first... and then with a lot of followers commenting on your stuff you'll start to wonder why you followed so many

it's a real culture shock... nostr is a really different, natural social network... it's gonna take a while before it really hits home for most users even still
