Late GM. Kinda hit my own mental reset button this weekend unintentionally. But after an ego check And spending a day reorienting myself.....I feel better.
My experimentation with Instagram continues. It turns out they don't like frog memes or when I make fun of Palantir. Even saying GM seems to be Looked down on.
So, GM, nostr.
So, out of maybe morbid curiosity, I created an Instagram account again. I know it's a mortal sin here, but for better or worse, (worse lol), I did. Here are some random thoughts from my first impression of being back on mainstream social media after spending a few years on nostr with no other accounts anywhere.
You genuinely have no control over what you see. Your home feed is literally just algo slop fed to you. Which is, at least to my brain nowadays, completely repulsive. It's wild that I used to doom scroll that shit all the time.
I reached out to some people I hadn't talked to since I left mainstream full social media in the first place despite having seen each other AFK, I got several messages from people who thought that I was dead. Apparently, some people don't think that there's a reality outside of social media or something.
I noticed a significant spike in blocked DNS queries from metrics collections and trackers. No surprise there, but just kind of funny.
nostr has its bumps and bruises. But I'm even more convinced now that it is a genuinely special place.
