Nostr as social media is mainly without an algo and therefore not able to give that Dopamin shots and ‚engaging-force’ people are used to so much nowadays.

For most it’s just ‚boring’ compared to ticawaXxerbookagramtube.

I've always wanted the online space to feel like I could speak with others, but I think many people who grew up on twatter or tok were "trained" to be passive. Feeling like their opinions didn't matter or their thoughts etc.

But that's the reality, unless you are here to contribute something meaningful (which takes effort!), I think most peoples opinions don't matter, just like I assume most of mine don't.

You cannot have a voice on X as a fresh account. The algos suppress genuine connections.

Try it. The only way to get any kind of engagement is hot takes and shit posting.

(Is it possible, sure, but once you’re past the algo farming shit, it’s still a walled garden. It’s a cyber fiefdom.)

Maybe they’ll like 💜, zap ⚡️ and retweet.
