Twitter and Bluesky users seem so much angrier than Nostr users. The stark differences are very apparent. Why? It's because you cannot be angry if you're winning.

On Nostr, we celebrate daily as developers build and enhance the protocol. It's happening, live, right before our very eyes. When developers win, we all win. Winning is infectious and we've all caught it. How could we not? We have dozens of apps and dozens of micro-services that are being updated on a daily basis.

This is what winning feels like and closed platforms just cannot experience the same atmosphere or vibe.

Pura vida. 🤙🏻

Haters gonna hate. Relays gonna relay. Devs gonna dev. 🫂

I think Nostr users are attracted to curating their own feed. Thus tend to have an internal vs external locus of control. An internal locus of control is correlated with greater happiness.

Pura vida!

Well said, never understood other social networks. #nostr feels different, and glad to be a part of it.

Who would have thought that delegating what you are allowed to see would make you angry?

It’s because we don’t have an algo that’s trying to trigger you 🤣

💯

It's because we aren't talking about fake wedge issues that are required for democracy to function.

In Nostr you have a problem with a client and the same developer responds and solves it. If that doesn't blow your mind, I don't know what to say.

twitter is easily the funniest, though. twitter is unhinged bpd, bluesky is mania, this is narcissism.

If you have no shared values or shared goals, and are petty enough. I can see why the default is picking on others in those places

I believe the term you intended for "winning" is "coping"

It's fine if you want to cope, and to cope in a more remote location where nothing and nobody else can upset you, but it's definitely not "winning," by any measure. We all want smaller circles and to form smaller tribes, and that's okay.

We celebrate because #nostr is ours. 🙏🏼

Total waste of time, imho! What has Ev been up to lately cuz he’s someone I respect!

Winning feels nice

Not everything is about winning ya know

i do. i've taught my kids this lesson often.

Nostr has no gatekeepers. You can only be angry at yourself if you're not contributing.

It’s more just that with Nostr, there is no one to be angry *at*. There is no official dev team, no CEO, etc.

we do have devs of particular apps though. i like to yell at nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z 😡😡😡 😆😆😆

People's favorite punch bag.

🤣 Nah. Keep up the great work. 🫂🫂

Thank you Vitor for keeping us in shape ❤️

what do you expect? they drink instant coffee!

🤣

Pura vida!

I think the social media anger

mechanism is exacerbated by centralization because the only way to affect change in the community is to display enough outrage to force the platform authorities to change the rules.

The #nostr protocol is open and accessible enough that things are sorted out through discussion and development.

Well said

I was Angry until I realized it's still being MASSIVELY manipulated. I got forcefully removed from Twitter for being a Truth Bard!

I guess Twatter doesn't like that a whole lot when it counters their Narrative.

I'm smiling daily here communicating with intellect TBH

3p!c brother!

Pura Vida Derek!
