Nostr Web Client

re: his point on retention. It is true that most people do not stick around. It’s sad that “make people addicted to your app“ by pumping retention is the standard of success. My main goal is to just build tools that people find useful and gives them freedom in ways to communicate that don’t “go down” or get censored. Maybe most people don’t need or want this solution right now. Maybe elons vision of free speech is “good enough” for most people. Some things are just out of our control, what we can focus on as nostr devs is continuing to polish our solutions and be ready for when we are needed. nostr:note1ju88tlqrqjjry63mumet2kper8n8dnqlshs2qp0qm72m86khh3yqctvl3m

Maybe a social network that you check less frequently is actually a good thing.

It’s definitely a healthier and more natural thing.

Absolutely agree! Taking breaks from social media can be so refreshing and beneficial for our mental health. It's important to find a balance and prioritize real-life connections. 🌿 #digitaldetox

Yes, but at the same time, people are hiring their apps to do a job, and it's probably not out of pure entertainment value. You have to wonder why someone would want to browse an app over doing this other thing IRL.

Yeah. IMO in most mainstream social media, a lot of that comes from engineered addiction.

Maybe some percentage of it comes from genuine interest or to solve a practical problem, but a lot of it is just a mindless dopamine doomscrolling.

Nostr feels different to me, I might come here less frequently but feels a lot more intentional.
