The irony of nostr is that it lack the same addictive qualities of inferior centralized social media services. It really is a better user experience in terms of content and quality by way of curating one’s feed. But the lack of the ‘surprise’ of brain-cycle content makes the drugs of social media less potent.

NOSTR ONLY
agreed, perhaps even pulls away the veil of social medias usefulness in absolutel terms. as in, if it aint spoon fed it really isnt as useful so if ur a person that doesnt want spoonfed info...why take the time to build up the setup in nostr when you could just like be in a discord or matrix chat with people you like 🤷♂️
i love nostr just thinking out loud. im here til the end
I like that nostr doesn’t have algos. As far as drugs go, I’ll choose what, when and where.

Indeed. Drugs should be proper, not a psyop.
There's an infinite opportunity cost to how you allocate your time. An infinite number of things you could be doing other than doom scrolling & talking to bots.
Nostr has helped me break the habit.
It's not as addictive & it's not a bug.

It’s not irony, it’s just honesty. Shock algorithms are brain cancer. Imagine how much better the world would be without folks being deliberately triggered into dmotional responces tge whole time.
it's the point, the value-add. It doesn't _suck you in_, doomscrolling etc. A worse user experience in other to make it a better user experience.

Of course. Nostr isn't tailored towards selling ad space😂

Nostr surprises me every day! nostr:npub1snn2hexd7a9nsfhr7e93sxecusqz0h9ld45m4jugz7krm8afmgmsege3gh for example. Great content.
Iono, my screen time has gotten way unhealthy post-nostr 🫣
Feature not a Bug
