Yeah, I hope so. Either this or serious damage I think.
I don't have a concrete plan yet, but I acquired some gear to make music over the last decade without ever really using it. I want to change that.
About drawing, I am even less sure. I love pixel art and would like to get more skilled there. Even made an online drawing app..
But I'm afraid I lf I try to use it I will find lots of bugs and then be back coding again 😂
Shameless plug to motivate myself 😆
This is why I am clueless, I don't see humans irl. It's just too annoying to put that skin suit on heh.
My experience is constrained to DMs asking for sponsorship deals or DMs with dick pics 😆
Me neither. Nostr is probably my biggest account so far (and I have no clue why)
Disclaimer: I maybe have tried every social network under the sun in the last decade, excluding recent ones though because #nostr is what I want (anybody remember diaspora or tent.is 😅)
Thank you for saying friend to me 💖
When reading your history, I think you started too late 😅 unless you skipped parts.
I think my first place was MySpace, and back then you had a lot of customisation options (I wrote a lot of HTML and CSS for my myspace page) and zero algorithms, as far as I remember.
Your feed was just a chronological soup if posts from the people you followed (or, "were friends with" as it was called)
Then mark suckalot entered the game and took it over, and it all went straight downhill from there.
Suddenly, "engagement" was the ruler of your feed.
And then, this metric was monetized.
This move didn't only fuck up social media, it killed society as we knew it.
People were starting to rage bait to farm "interest" and money.
Then crypto came along to amplify scam artists 1000x
And we ended up with things like Hawk Tuah coin.
To me, #nostr is the antidote to all of this.
We reclaim chronological feeds.
We reclaim the absence of "sponsored posts"
We measure engagement in a decentralised, ungovernable currency.
This is why I am clinging to this network - and I think it has a chance to grow with everyone who is just burned out with how things are elsewhere.
Anyway this is way too long already and i'm forgetting where I started 😅
Hope it makes some sense to you
Feel you. Being the same I think. At least my work calendar and the end of the year every time hits like this. But also constantly feel like going insane the whole year. I need to change ways I guess.
Rarely do new years resolutions but this year I have one. I want to do more art or music and level myself more.
Try to read even less news, even though I am already quite effective and rarely know what's going on 😄 I want to make this zero haha
From my experience, nostr is the least "game" of any social media I have experienced.
Not sure what you mean with offers, I think I never got any here lol.
If I compare this place to e.g. Instagram it is like a quiet pond Vs a maelstrom 😂
But maybe I just ain't popular enough to attract big fish 😄🙏🏼
Slay your heroes, check your sources
Weed and marshmallows? Did I win?
Get it. And it's sad, really. Been hearing stories, and it seems you don't have to be an influencer to get your drink spiked these days. Shit society. Luckily I'm blessed with anxiety so I would never attend a party lol.
About BTC, I see it like this: the more I stack, the less fascist idiots can have. One of the beauties of fixed supply. So my credo Ina nutshell: if you don't want bitcoin to be taken over by shitheads, get it before they can 😄
Fascists have taken enough from us, I won't surrender this tool to them without a fight because I think it's an important one. But that's just my two sats
Echt jetzt, kein "Der Weg" mehr? 😭

Es war immer spannend, manchmal bewegend und hat meinen Horizont definitiv erweitert. Dieses Format hat mir gezeigt, dass #Bitcoin für jeden interessant sein kann, egal ob alt oder jung, Nerd oder Noob, links oder rechts, oben oder unten.
Danke für eure Arbeit!
