Had no idea who was here before spinning up my npub. Came solely for supporting a protocol I thought had value. Found an amazing bunch of people and stuck around. Prior to Nostr, I was a non-engager that observed only.

Very interesting, why didn't to engage on bird app?
It felt like casting thoughts into a void there. Became a place to source information for me rather than a place to engage.
How did you hear about it?
I believe I saw nostr mentioned when Twitter was banning promotion of competitors or something like that. I was intrigued cause it was new to me. If it was worth banning, it was worth looking into. Found the nostr white paper and new I had to give it a go. Felt inevitable after thar.
Ya that’s just a ripple in Jack’s splash.
My point is not to elevate or credit any one person here, but to trace it back to the type of event that led is here. Maybe not first order effect but 2nd, 3rd and so on.
I stuck around for quality engagement. Who was engaging was irrelevant, the what and the how made me stay and promote it to others. Likely due to the pseudonymity of most. The only thing that makes me disengage is grifty behavior. “Influencers” are pretty cringe most always and likely a turn off for folks seeking quality. Just an idiots opinion.
Welcome to social media then.
If you only observe, you are not participating.
Your vote does not matter, but your voice on social media can change lives!
I know I have changed lives on twitter..for the better.
And on social media 2023, you can be part of different social groups and even movements if you want.
And maybe help make the world a better place? It's all up to you 🙏
