So my most recent posts just, disappeared, vanished, never to be seen again. I can see notifications that people replied to these posts but I can't get the actual posts to show at all. How strange ☹️

Let's talk about nostr. This has so much potential, but for some reason its feeling quite lonely and flat here. I have removed all my photography posts, I tried pretty hard but there isn't an audience here for photography, that's understandable I suppose, but I did hope we could carve out more of an art and photo scene on nostr, beyond AI anime pictures 😄 My thoughts are that when bitcoin crashed in value, a lot of the activity here fell off too. I did at least used to get some traction on my posts a few months ago, but recent ones have very much felt like staring into an empty void 😶 I'm still going to hang around. There are lots of really interesting posts made by other people, but I have to accept the idea that this is more an alternative niche tech and geeky crypto hangout than a possible competitor to X or Instagram, and that's ok, everything has its place. The bad news is that globally I fear a tightening on freedom. X is likely getting banned in several countries, YouTube keeps getting worse, privacy is being eroded. Things like nostr offer an alternative, but I don't know how we get that message out. 🙂

Out of the tunnel. #photography I hope you like and please comment 🙂

Gods country #photography I took this on a trip in England

Tall ship moored on the riverside. I took this just as the sun was rising.. Let me know if you like, thanks. #photography

I'm back :) here's some street photography. #photography

A nice, chill, crisp, calm morning by the jetty. Hope you like this photo I took. #photography

Dunno guys but I feel like interest in my little photography posts has fallen off the cliff lol. Not that it was setting the world on fire to start with but I was hoping that things like photography and arty stuff would grow and get more popular on here, but the opposite is happening, or I'm just getting worse over time, that's possible too 😁 What can I do to improve? Thanks.

I really ilke the shadow reflection here. #photography

Another rainy day, i like how the umbrella contrasts the grey sky, and the raindrops, making it a bit more fun. #photography

Took this through the shutters of a mall before it opened, I think it looks really nice. #photography

Laughter. Those two seemed to be happy at least :) street photography. #photography

Saw this person on the riverbank (looking tiny in this picture), no idea what they were doing but the scene looked really nice. #photography

After the storm #photography

Accidentally deleted this :)

I was talking to a friend i havent seen since 2010. It was weird, we spoke about what we did back then and concluded that in some ways, very little had changed. The world has become more dystopian and polarised, but culture, technology, music, fashion, have barely moved. If you imagine having this conversation in 1995, and going back 15 years to 1980, everything was completely different, there's a huge cultural and technical change between those years. So what happened? Why have we stagnated? What was previously exciting change has become dull, and new advances in tech just feel designed to ensnare and surveil you evermore. Its sad really.

I want to love nostr, I was f to love primal, but so often I come on here and its just froze, or won't update, or posts just vanish, or the comments wont load. Any advice to help?

Coffee and flowers #photography
