I've been feeling the same about "throwing notes out into the void". I was thinking people were just ignoring me specifically haha so thanks for posting.

Same for me but I also haven't posted much so maybe I just need to be more consistent and hope for the best. Or some nostr celebrity to "discover me" lol

I also tried to post smaller notes (basically crossposting what I post in the saloon) but also noticed a lack of engagement with that kind of content.

And I don't even want to post smaller notes:

A Twitter style social media never really appealed to me

update: I mostly use it for DMs since I only have nostr and SimpleX in my profile as DMs options

That’s actually a smart idea. SimpleX is a good solution for DMs since you can create a new profile for each “place” you want to receive DMs from and it is anonymous and secure.

And nostr is like the opposite of that but there are more people DMing me on nostr though lol

The eternal trade-off between network effects and UX vs security and privacy

Yeah, Nostr DMs are horrible and should either be fixed or removed from the spec. Most people on Nostr have no idea how much metadata is leaked by DMs.

Old post but I thought I would comment anyway.

I always without exception use a VPN, if not VPN+TOR on nostr. Nostr by design is on the internet forever and who knows who is running relays. Not a great situation if you ask me. In no way shape or form are DMs on nostr private and any meta-data there isn't private either.

You guys just don't know how to use Nostr 😉 Even without a following you can get your notes shown to a lot of people just by using tags like this:

Let's say i want to write a note about #bitcoin, or maybe something about #privacy, i will use tags like this, and it will reach much more #nostr users.

Believe me, I’ve tried that. I just must be really boring or something 😅
