I find myself refreshing my Nostr feed in anticipation of new posts.

Sometimes I check back an hour later to nothing new.

At first I interpreted this as a downside to Nostr vs. Twitter.

Then I realized I’ve been conditioned by the Twitter algo to seek the dopamine hit of new updates even though they’re mostly just noise.

Nostr is the signal to Twitter’s noise and I feel like my dopamine receptors are now in recovery.
