Friendly advice on how to win friends and influence people (on nostr):

Show Real Interest: People love to talk about themselves—ask questions, listen, and engage.

Smile (Digitally Too!): Positive vibes are contagious. Use friendly emojis or uplifting words online.

Use Names & Tags: Tagging someone or using their name in comments is like a digital high-five.

Be a Good Listener: Don’t just wait to reply; actually read and engage with what others are saying.

Make People Feel Valued: Genuine compliments go a long way. Don’t overdo it, but make others feel seen.

Avoid Criticism: Public shaming? Not cool. Handle disagreements respectfully and privately if possible.

Find Common Ground: Start with what you agree on before diving into differences. Build bridges, not walls.

Own Your Mistakes: If you mess up, admit it. People respect honesty more than perfection.

Encourage Small Agreements: Start with points of agreement in a debate to build momentum in conversation.

Appeal to Their Interests: Frame your ideas in a way that aligns with their passions. It’s all about win-win.
