nostr hack: have a big (but still considered) following list because it's useful for discovery, WoT raw materials, Other Stuff, etc. but create a private "favorite npubs" list as a subset of your follows, and be VERY selecive with who goes on it. adjust it liberally without fear of "losing someone". only look at the "favorites" list as your main feed; think of the standard "following" feed like you would "global". experience the lovely coziness.

i was on an interent and nostr haiatus for about a month and had a lovely "nothing's happening that matters to my life" feeling. i peek back at nostr today and feel like things are on fire. so tell me, is my timing just good - or is it the case that globally-networked communitations (even nostr) naturally skews towards sky is falling content at all times? i think i'm going to go back under my rock and write a book and some software. you guys seem to be holding down the fort. 🫡

come on pals, you're so close... you can do it..

lol remember this? oopsie!
