Dad. Husband. Math teacher. Runner. Amateur writer. Fisherman. Mediocre guitar player and volleyball player. We need a new cultural enlightenment. I want to be a part of it.

Pre Covid we still had teachers using those. Lol

Very cool! nostr:note1k3j6h49hfpgstw8ttfyr2pkz40sd2wl4q6ztqmzvcdetsuvg496qt4crvs

Same. Facebook has gotten worse as well. Ads are served in pairs instead of one at a time. To me at least. Feels like social media companies are trying to hold on for dear life. nostr:note1ptu7w7c6qyxs9j3jsgrkznzlcr3muwr3a0ss4s32ztldfwh0gufqdcdtn8

I could find many. I don’t understand this. nostr:note1qhlkry6rjlxsfxa2tkj9wl56m90yuufzj0vtt6gjf3mut7s82vtqatjaqp

People often recommend "following a bunch of people" to increase the quality or value of your feed. I disagree. I made that mistake on Twitter several years ago and have regretted it ever since. I became a lot more strict about who gets a follow. It's an opportunity cost in my mind. When the feeds in most social clients are chronological, when you check in you want to see posts from people you respect and post quality content.

My recommendation is to take a long term view - in a couple years you don't want to be following 1000 people, 900 of which don't provide you any value. You just followed them to "make your feed better" in the summer of 2023.

Before you follow someone, check their bio and their feed and ask yourself a couple questions.

Are you interested in most of what their posting?

Better yet, are you okay with seeing fewer posts from your favorite people since posts from this new person will increase the number of posts to sift through?

With clients like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and the ability to create lists in some clients, do you need their posts in your feed?

Feel free to add other questions if you have them. #grownostr

This is a really great point. Before learning about Bitcoin I had a lot of typical misconceptions. I was wrong. Yes, there are a bunch of flawed individuals – find a me a community that doesn't have them – but if we are to enter a brighter future, then it will be because of bitcoin and the community building on it. #bitcoin #nostr

Good reminder. #memes #grownostr

I learned today that water with some lemons in it is not “water with lemon” it is “citrus infused”.
