sounds like you're spending too much time on nostr? and the content here is not making you feel better
infinite scrolling is an escape and bad feedback loop
it's why i uninstall damus every other week
yeah I agree, but at the same time it's what forms the necessary habits for people to return. It's a double-edged sword. Algos and surfacing "good" notes just makes it worse.
I think the old saying of "everything in moderation" applies here. It's up to people to figure out how to balance social media for the good while staving off the negative effects.
Curating your feed might help too. If you see something that bums you out, just mute it. Some clients now have mute words that mute entire category of notes. That could help as well. I use this feature on snort to mute topics that not necessarily upset me, but never make me feel great to think about: war, religion, politics, etc...
I went through that phase… too much nostr, most of the good feeling it first brought eventually transformed into bad ones. I’m more detached now and enjoyment came back.
I think it was a mixture of seeing things that made me angry and seeing things I wish I could do but couldn’t. It eventually “sucked” so much I went offline for a long while.
