maybe a little controversial, but:
early #nostr felt quieter and deeper.
not less posting.
just more honesty, more presence, more real conversations.
especially late at night.
i miss that energy.
Discussion
the fans of being just everyday users of nostr have mostly gone away and the bigger portion of the devs to stay
there's less new ideas/thoughts/convos, because nostr is not in its initial stage anymore + there's no new blood that has come in
just my observations
interesting observation. haven’t thought about it in this way. how can we get back to that stage so people will come?
i guess time is one thing. nostr is still early
some sort of an external catalyst likely, but even so, i see the same cycle happening as we have already, just with new people and bit of variety to the past
also i think that because nostr has such a small bubble of "bigger creators" who get most of the airtime, then nostriches have just gotten kind of tired of each other.
some (like myself) take hiatuses and return once in a while
others have spun of to groups on telegram and/or signal, and taken to other kinds of projects
some just left until further notice
you probably right. i guess when there was fewer people and less echochambers (or whatever its called) it was easier to find people and hold longer (and funnier) random, controversial conversations
We need devs that want user growth instead of devs that want to get paid by OpenSats for suppressing user growth
even serious devs have left to a large extent, what remains is influencers, people that want to consume exclusively bitcoin slop, wannabe devs and people solely here to keep in touch with a few people
I'll direct you to the nostr:nprofile1qqsrcwyu3ax5dj5px9n58glr8nkmr5rpn7rh3mn563ex2a670gh07lcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgcwaehxw309aehqct5d9sj6ctjvdskucfwvdhk6tc8s4gsh relay
thanks 🙏 i’ll look into it. looks like a good way to find communities
Not as controversial as a thread about Vegemite.
We had a time back then.
who knows, we (Vege)might see those times return
Ve well might, G.
hahah time will tell or we can start one now 👀
a Vegefight
i still STRONGLY DISLIKE it
did any of us even like it?
fuckin nostr:npub12gu8c6uee3p243gez6cgk76362admlqe72aq3kp2fppjsjwmm7eqj9fle6 and nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r
lol 🤣 do you like it? who said they like it?
nostr:npub1x2fqw4n45vcvv060y7xa53sfm22esukrpszrq9tfry9wjaslx98qx27cje 😂
oh yeah! still don’t understand how that’s edible
Hahahaah you have to eat it right hahahaha a little goes a longggg way
hahahaha nah too salty
Hahahahah it is but I just I loveeee salt
what are you, a cucumber?
Hahahahahahaga might be
tbh i am anything like a cucumber
bc i forget to stay hydrated
lol hahaha i still prefer my salad
depends on sammy and salad
proper caesar's is nice, but so is some ciabatta, with pesto, olive oil, jamon, mozzarella and salad
The only salad I accept is a fruit salad tbh hahahaha
Good news, tomatoes and cucumbers are fruit.
yes
and ketchup is jam
damn then mine is almost a fruit salad
Hahahahaha and they make the best salad with some avocado ;)
oh god
avocado in a salad? i don’t like avocado 🫣
avocado is meh, pretty bland
guac is nice tho
Omg what?? It’s like natures butter… you need to eat a good one with a good amount of salt!
tried. didn’t work unfortunately
i prefer a boiled potato to an avocado
but again, i'm eastern european
fair i can be on board with that
He means he’s white and fearful of seasoning.
But have you tried boiled potato with avocado?? The besttttt
what the fuck
what?!? no way you’re eating that. that CONTROVERSIAL
Whaaat?? Why??? People eat potatoes with butter…. This is literally the same.. avocado is just fruit butter
mhm…i don’t know. just something about avocados and potatos
Just try it, it’s good hahaha
mhm, but i don’t even like avaocado nor do i like salt and butter at my potatos
sorry nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4
Hahahaha crazy girl
what we've learned today, is that wencke doesn't eat
anything
lol i eat…some things
you can have my olives, pineapples, raisins and apricots
i can take your olives
Awww the olive theory 🥹
olive theory? what’s that? i live under a rock if you haven’t noticed yet
“The Olive Theory, popularized by How I Met Your Mother, is a lighthearted relationship idea suggesting compatibility comes from one partner loving olives and the other hating them, creating balance”
hahaha awww that’s actually really cute 🥹🤍
Righttt
i need to dive deeper into this
My wife absolutely despises olives so we’re a perfect match.
I love thattt
She also hates pickles, mustard, grapefruit, and peanut butter. It’s like she was born on another planet.
Don't tell her about my love for peanut butter & dill pickle sandwiches.
Hahahahaha I always wanted to try that.. never been brave enough hahahaha
bro
psych ward misses you
peanut bitter and banana > peanut pickel
gross 😎
Pineapple on pizzas and burgers 😂
burger OK
pizza GFY
And beetroot on the burger too!!
muted
/jk
but wtf
Don’t knock it till you try it bro
i dislike beetroot as a whole
not as pickled
Hmm. I've never had that. I do have picked beets though 🤔
you guys have some extraordinary food choices
Granny was hardcore. If you didn't eat what she made, you didn't eat. That opens up the palate at a young age 😂
Omgggg the besttttt im literally craving that rn…
Hawaiian burger LFG 👍
don’t yuck my yum ser
#tanelshould
yup
bruh
the bread ain't even toasted man
i need to go to sleep soon. im an old soul
FTFY
is that peanut butter? looks like cheese, try again 😂
#penisbutter
oh, no it's def peanuts I just have bluelight filters
well, are you really ok with SO MUCH pickel in proportion to the peanut butter? AI led you wrong
I sometimes layer a single slice of bread with peanut butter, and place a whole dill pickle like the wiener in a hot dog for maximum pickliness.
Peanut butter on a hot dog is also good FWIW.
Now you have crossed a line.
I didn't believe it either till I tried it. Peanut butter hot dog, who knew 🤷♂️
hahaha
she's right on the olives and isnt wrong on the pickles
maybe we come from the same star system? 🤔
you dont salt or butter ur potatoes?
what do u do with them?!?! just straight out of the oven?
like in laura ingalls when they put them in their mittens to keep their hands warm on a sleigh ride to town and when they got room temp just ate em?
what?!? hahaha boil them, and then afterwards you add salt and butter (not me tho but others nostr:nprofile1qqs9c5yvxn6csehvwdq64ugvcxh496fr9wulskwgzq72tm8j42fm77qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq36amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9emkjun9v3hx2apwdfcqww9yvy )
hahaha nah
fruit salad is weird
i like my fruit like i like my women, one at a time
hahaha
Hahahahaha you need to try the right mix, it’s makes all the difference
😂😂😂
send me a cooking video of you making it
and also proof that you actually physically are capable of eating vegemite, because i don't believe you
oh you actually follow a recipe. i just throw something together 🫠
oh, i don't
it's just some concoction of things i've liked when put together
cono what??
fancy word for just saying mixing ingredients 🙄🫂
i forgot both of those words
lol good that we’re both glitching
i am always glitching
lmao 🤪 good then we’re two at least
Me m-m-me too.
😂😂

#TanelHasnt seen Max Headroom?!

JFC 🤦🏻♂️
ugh
No way I could ever explain this to you.
Too young
damn took me long to reply. (didnt notice 🫣 dont send me to jail)

Hahahahahahhaha
oh she’s back!!!
nostr:npub16jdfqgazrkapk0yrqm9rdxlnys7ck39c7zmdzxtxqlmmpxg04r0sd733sv you’d better get in here.
look who's alive 😂
we should have a call for old times sake, the three of us
Hahahahahaha alive and lurking hahaha
👀👀 haven't heard from you in a while
you still living at your motherland?
Speaking of people we haven’t heard from in a while, where did nostr:npub1dmahfent0mtlh8ahhzu0ztslhw470azcyw3n599vvrxfysfg25mqurhrpq disappear to again?
hahahaha
yes.
nostr has been consumed by the same species of influencer parasites that just want money and likes
who are also actively trying to build tools to reinforce the echo chamber
I completely agree. It definitely felt like there were more interesting, deeper, real conversations back then. A lot of the people I got to know in the early days are no longer here and, while I think there is maybe more diverse content now, I often struggle to find things I want to engage with..
oh 💯 agree with you. im not gonna lie, i find myself posting more rather than engaging in conversation. as you said, it’s mostly because i struggle to find topics or content i want to engage with
> just more honesty
Totally. Like NGU. And HFSP.
I feel that in general ppl “follow” way too many ppl on here. You follow 800? 1,000?! I’m trying to do justice to my 72 atm and leave room for “organic” growth and exploration and it’s hard enough. 🤷🏻♂️
hahaha agree. i follow under 200, and its taken me yrs to get to such a «high» number 😂😂
I don’t unfollow the beef jerky heads anymore. Just mute them. That way I can remember who they are.
I’ve had multiple accounts but only use one at a time.
Wtf. Seems they live rent free in your head. Dispel them whit.
Nah. I just don’t want to give any of them bitcoin 😂
🤣🤣🤣 fair enough
Yep. I know it’s a fools errand since almost everyone has sock puppets. But it’s the intent that matters.
Hope this makes sense.
Silly woman.
It’s nice to see these people has a good experience from early #Nostr
