Nostr is a redistribution of social media power. The ethos is different here than on Twitter. Many of the big accounts don't yet know how to Nostr, and are relying on their Twitter fame. This is an opportunity for the plebs to step in and take away some of their influence. Being warm and responsive to your audience will end up paying dividends, er, I mean sats. ⚡ And being distant and exclusive won't work here. The ones who really engage will become the stars of Nostr.

The lack of an algorithm and artificially messing with who sees what should help this play out without any ulterior motives. Pure signal should shine through!
Right on! Great points.
When I see inflooencers try and engagement farm on nostr…
You made me laugh with that. That's worth a zappity do da. ⚡
Engagement farming may get you “likes” but it won’t get you zaps ⚡️
I've been on Nostr for maybe an hour and a half so far and it seems like Twitter is a social media party app for the social elite who came in dressed to the 9s (the irony is painful). Nostr seems more like a social media party for those who just came to hang out, eat some chips n dip, and talk about shit *other* than bitcoin. I mean, there's plenty of bitcoin talk just because of Nostr's target audience and I'm here for it.
But... there's more to life than bitcoin. Sometimes I'd like to talk about coffee I like, proclaim Soundgarden as the best band to come out of Seattle, find out how others cook their steak, and to see if others like the Sheridan-verse too.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That was a very intelligent post. I feel the same way. Amazing you picked that up in only an hour and a half. Welcome to Nostr. Here's 1,000 sats. ⚡
You will find all those things here, #[3] On behalf of all Nostriches, i welcome you. 💜⚡️🤙
Zappity Zap Zap!
