This guy knows what's up

I love "nostr" the social network and the protocol, use it daily, and I love the young small community vibe - I feel a part of something online for the first time ever.

"lack of engagement" seems to be the theme of most replies here. I don't get it, this how I've felt everywhere BUT nostr 😆🤷

Anyway yes - there's lots of memes, lots of shit-posting, but also some amazing content once in a while. There is a ton of interaction that leads to further collaboration online and in-person (meetups, new apps and projects, conferences). Can't be a bad thing, right?

The main thing is that it's an open protocol anyone can use and build on. The world needs choices and I think it's a pretty awesome one.

Lots of reasons to do this and I'm sure it's possible for some, but modern life it tough without a cell phone (many mentioned it already, but banking, passwords, 2fa blah blah blah).

I think the mistake many make is switching to a flip phone with basic sms and cell calls - all unencrypted and antiquated.

I think the real answer is unfortunately the one that requires the most work. Self discipline and balance. To help with that is the long process of minimizing apps and services you use, turning notifications off, and hardest of all - breaking the addiction.
