#1 image @Contra β€œSome days posting here feels like nobody's listening. You write something you actually care about and it gets two reactions and a 21 sat zap from the few people who zaps everything. That's what early looks like, though. The people who kept stacking through 2022 weren't getting applause either, and most of their friends figured they'd lost it. The devs building clients here are shipping updates to a few thousand users and doing it anyway, because they think this matters. It does. No algorithm is paying anybody here to keep posting. If you're still showing up, it's because you believe in it. I'd rather build with a few thousand people like that than perform for a million who'd leave the day the feed changes. So keep posting, and zap accounts when they say something good. That's how most of us got found in the first place.” #quote_nostr_recap

#1 image @Bohemia β€œOne thing I love about nostr is it's just real people being real. People talk about their good days, their bad days, their blah days, their struggles and joys. People share pictures of their dogs, their coffees, a flower growing from a crack, cool trees, the food they eat just put on a plate with no fancy styling. I think it's a big part of why I love it here. For the most part, we aren't trying to impress each other. I don't feel a big Keep Up With the Jones's vibe. It's just people sharing their daily moments and thoughts, not posed with perfect lighting and prose. We try to make each other laugh or relate to one another, but it's just humans being humans. It's really beautiful.” #quote_nostr_recap
