How does a social network that has no algorithms to retain people become addictive?

I asked myself this question and came up with an answer:

Nostr, personally, I find it so inspiring and rich in content that it doesn't need algorithms to hold me back.

And you, why are you still on Nostr, despite it being a niche social network?

I am still here for the #nostriches..

Good people and Signal are addictive.

I can see its potential and want to help it reach it!

because i like it raw

I’m not much around here these days… but I do keep coming back. Not sure why…

Addiction? It’s the notifications…

Because people are chill here. Busy. Building. This can go anywhere, so I gotta be here to see it 🚀

freedom of speech and expression and the growth of privacy tech. #nostriches can be deplatformed, but can't be "cancelled." it is as it should be. reminds me of the early web, the free one, run by cypherpunks.

how can they be deplatformed?

Because I'm addicted

This Proof of my messy conscience, put on display for any who might be interested. Full controlled by myself all things are me.

This is digitally me forever,

It's got a great beginning, and time will tell how it grows. The curiosity keeps me.

There's just so much...new. Every time I refresh I see something new. Constant growth, no standing still.

why? Humanity is always my why.

Social media shouldn’t be addictive 🤙

I'm niche.

I love the idea of being able to freely use a social platform in a job where I'm not supposed to have my phone at all because it's so niche that there's no way our incompetent and overbearing HR department will ever discover me here.

Nostr: Think twice before you send that note. Is it worthy of a zap? If not, how could you improve it?

Xitter: Think twice before you send that tweet. Will it get you shadow banned or cancelled altogether? If not, then take your chances with the algorithm, but don't get your hopes up unless you already paid for views.
