Some interesting answers, to me the biggest benefit I've seen is conversations with higher signal people. I think nostr most users that are early have freedom on the mind and high capability.
Also access to the devs, I think this will disappear over time.
Different and smaller benefits than Bitcoin imo
Seems about right. Too bad it doesn't also make you rich though
Web of trust will be priceless. The early connections on here will last a lifetime and be far more reaching than late coming.
The connections made will be more authentic and have more meanings as well.
My mission to 100 NOSTR Plebs is very real!
Yeah, and you can't put a price on that... unfortunately🥲
Seriously though, it is pretty cool. Part of why I selfishly don't really want the masses to show up just yet
Everyone will create the frens they deserve 🤭
Sounds kinda self-involved. But I'm fortunate enough to have been aware of this playground and will not squander the opportunity to horse around will all you fine folk
Agreed. If you have a good rapport with a dev now, I don’t see that going away in the future. Same goes for any other npub
Ya mate.
I cant see anyone really dropping off NOSTR after making frens.
Except nostr:nprofile1qqsf5r3qgwh65pt2z2uthem6cnp3shqw90zxky42c9vx3y2yxg7qu0qpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wfaxwwfk0f4xzan8v968x7p4vd5ryankw3cngct5v96xc7f4wfmxgam3va48qvr4w3u8wdp40fjh5mnk09ckvert0pmx20mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv53znsat - he drops off like its a day job 🙄
I like this. Maybe some (most) of the people who leave after a few weeks/months never make any meaningful connections. I feel like the OG crowd did and that’s why a lot of us are still here
I've lost some that were here for over a year though 😭, miss some of them like David, and friends that talked cars
I enjoy these connections but if a friend you have from outside of here joins nostr he's in that WOT pretty quickly right? They can also bring over their own WoT from other socials if they have friends
Not being picky, more trying to distinguish what someone "gets" by being early to nostr
I would say the meaningful connections is the big thing.
I’m not 100% convinced about the WoT. I see at least 30 known npubs following cosmic whatever or tzongocu
If a friend you have from outside joins nostr, you follow him. Since you’re in most of the known wots already, then he is too. It’s follows and follows of folllows. Is that what you meant by your first question?
nostr:nprofile1qqsp2efvfxvyptu4hafd36unh77awd9e94q0y8zwh96tzf89n9740jcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9xega3j is an irl friend of mine. She's on my follow list. On any of yours?
Just because irl frens join, doesn't make up for all the shit-posting and replies I've made with y'all.
Newbies, whether having a boost or not still have to put in the work.
POW will create WoT 🫡
If only npubs who were here for a while didn’t just blindly follow tzongocu or the other bots 🙄
Hard to make WoT truly spam resistant
Don't concern yourself with weeds in another's garden.
I will cut my grass and plant my trees as I see fit 😎
My point is more that WoT can’t work if people blindly follow spam bots. Other than that I curate my own feed and mind my business 😂
I kinda see your point. But i suppose I just think the NOSTR universe will balance out if you care to let it 🤷
Less is more. And within #NOSTR, I can say with confidence; More is definitely less!
Totally agree. The less you follow, less chance there is of following a spammer. On the other hand makes it harder for newcomers. I guess there’s a balance to be found
I enjoy sussing out who's authentic. It makes interacting with frens here a lot more enjoyable.
Thanks for being a fren, friend 👊
You do make a solid point though. Most people I follow don’t interact. Only the real ones do.
Thank you for being a real one friend 👊🏾

Trim the fat 🤭🔥
Alright. Here's a social experiment. Only a one off. But lets welcome this new Nostrich and see how 'real' it gets.
He made this post and had a bunch of 'GM' back replies. Will he put in the work?
I find most new npubs i follow i'll eventually unfollow because they don't interact.

Narrator: no, he would in fact never open the client again
"In a surprising event, Ray joins NOSTR. Only to then realize he needs to type back. Not surprisingly the newly arrived pleb just keeps scrolling, missing out on yet another opportunity to be early."
Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough ?
Freeman is who I normally imagine, works well with the latter too though
He narrated some skits on some rap albums even 👀
nostr:npub162zpxufpw8pnuytaf0gfxzkqtvk9rvcwkvppa7x57y3n7qkfpg4shatdhy excellent album btw, if you’re into that style of music

Curious about your process. Do you count reactions as interaction?
I definitely start with a glance at the profile. All reposts? No follow. More posts than replies, probably a no follow.
But mostly its just time and interaction. A feeling of such.
For example nostr:nprofile1qqsgyvxxygk755quz6xcw80yp57w6j2xk4sgdqa0fp4z9e25yejzvsgpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7vd9kkq gave me a reply of his yard a year later. Real pleb sharing his life and replying.
At first glance nostr:nprofile1qqsytuv4el7t3jtjfm7zfrc9q730ked40806he7dx5uctxqk8j4hvfcprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hkjmnzdauqzxthwden5te0wdjkuerfwshxummnvekxzun99e3k7mg7aaqrm seems like he could be just a spammer with his quick meme's. but when you listen to his replies, there is authenticity. Same with you.
I try not to follow to many high profile accounts. Like nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghx6ctvd9hzummwds0xggvh will never follow me back and interact. And I'm okay with that. She's a busy lady and I read her newsletter.
But on the other-hand nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5q3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5mm8xr7 replies to me sometimes and it is fun to get interaction from someone thats been highly influential in my life.
Then there is nostr:nprofile1qqs0wa4ucy38r0nel3cmv40ne0lt829pd8enacfntlxqcg5znyqa5jspy3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummvv33kjare943xjarrda5kuetjwvhxjmnxduhszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkzemfvd3kjare9ekxjan99ugl224d who when i started following had only a few follows and has blown up due to his hard work. He replies and I can watch him grow in real time while enjoying his art.
Mostly it's about if I have fun interacting. If it's not fun it's not meaningful and your npub is cut 👌
So reactions don’t count. That’s what I figured
Reactions are hollow
…is 👆a reaxion?🤔🫣
…For those of us on the back row of the ⭕️ could u plz elucidate the difference between a reaction and a reply😖🤷🏽♂️
When you press the reaction button, that’s a reaction 😂
I pressed the comment button and added a gif.
🤔
…and would Mcd be considered a shabby reaction or a sh*tty response?😳🤭😂😂😂🫡⭕️
He does both. He also reposts a lot
🤔😳…and is a repost a reactionary response or a responsive reax or just a repost? …and what if it includes a zap or a like?
…what are the norms and etiquette here?🤷🏽♂️🤌🏽
…why does the nostr ux have to be so complicated? 🤨
…is this an issue for the council ⭕️ retarded or can simple devs be trusted to sort this out?🧐
…should I DM nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 and or nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
Interesting approach. Been here for a while now and I’m pretty sure I follow some dead accounts who were quite active 3 years ago. Must get around to trimming it back. For follows, I try to use a combo of their level of interactivity and if they post stuff that is interesting to me. Agree with the constant reposters - that’s a good gauge.
Ya man. Reposts can be appreciated. But if thats the only play the gtfo of here 🤝
Too much reposts and you can’t see what the person has to say
nostr:nprofile1qqsx5q4h6h2urnhv859d9rwhr3x0a6ak89aetlh4e4gr9jfz8gfaq2spz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmchysyph has a well balanced post to repost ratio. And his reposts usually aren't bitcoin related but usually highlighting another plebs musings/doings
Me being a spammer is wild lol a popular npub said I barely post 🤷♂️😂
He did say seems. And also it’s just his point of view. Not an absolute
Hey nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg964ld9dcutexqyw7mdtw4ajt6k2h9mymzzep5esmmncgmfdna4luj04397! I am genuinely here to interact and learn. I kept hearing about Nostr on podcasts so I am here to dive in. Hoping to learn from others and have good conversations on here.

Follow. Reply. Post. Unfollow. Reply. Post. Repeat 🫡
I get your point but yes, I follow her 😂
Yes and your #31days have lead me to be more accountable for myself not skipping a day between workouts at the gym! ☺️
I follow her too 🫡
We shitpost about crackheads and usb cords 😂
Makes sense 🤔
I think it’s only a different crowd.
We have our own breed of annoying Bitcoin shillers
Curious what you mean by "higher signal people"?
