I now take more than I give with established social media, and this is reversed on Nostr. But Nostr-only is not in the cards for now.
Nostr simply does not have the rich network of people engaged in some of my interests that Facebook or Reddit does, YET.
This means that if I # asknostr something about pottery, there are like six of us here ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ they might or might not have a good answer, and might or might not see my post.
If I really want an answer, I can pop on Facebook where I have access to 3+ slightly different groups of hundreds of potters each and get 10+ answers in minutes.
Or when I visit the Biblical Christian Egalitarians group on Facebook, I learn a ton, get inspired, and feel less alone. Iโm the only person I know of posting about this remaining on Nostr now that nostr:npub16llpfttm85ltrqc5ggyu5snfq38x6vwhanyrhrddpn43ylt3wdxqa99rf5 has left.
Learning and community are, to my view, the primary purposes of social media. Iโm focusing on building here, and spend most of my social media time here by far. But when I want these things for myself, I still turn to centralized sources โ not because I love algorithms or ban hammers, but because thatโs where some of my people still are. They just arenโt here yet in numbers. And numbers do matter sometimes.
This is not a complaint about Nostr. โYou canโt get mad at it, itโs just a baby!โ
It is:
1. Solidarity for those who arenโt Nostr-only. Despite all the weird factionalism, there is no one right way to use this platform. Feel free to consider influence but discard pressure.
2. Encouragement to everyone to post on their niche interests AND keep trying to purple-pill people with niche interests.
3. A humble request to devs to continue working on user experience in communities/groups as far as possible.

Just checked out bce on fb. Women's ordination and shared leadership in marriage is not biblical. This goes against God's perfect design. Why try and change what is God's will? It will only lead youth astray.
This doesn't mean my wife doesn't have a say in the direction we go, but it does give is clarity about who the burden ultimately falls on. This has helped us both tremendously. We have our rolls and can relax into them.
Forgive me if i am interpreting their mission statement wrong
I donโt think you really checked them out if you came away with the impression that our claims are not biblical.
Itโs the whole point of the group that we are certain the Bible backs up these ideas and that this equality is Godโs intention and design.
