99% of the people here are just chasing fame or fortune unfortunately.
To be authentic, one must clearly state where they stand and demonstrate that's firmly where they stand.
Like folks here saying they hate Apple but still holding an iPhone.... Them folks, arnt authentic and it clearly shows.
To be authentic, is to be unpopular.
You have firm beliefs.
You have standards.
And you don't mind putting other in check when they cross them.
That's like no one here on nostr if I'm being honest.
Everyone puts on a fake happy face.
Reminds me of my favorite Jim carry movie the mask; "We all wear masks"
