#1 image @zenjunk β€œAt the risk of sounding sickly I must say I've found some amazing people here on Nostr since I rejoined 2 weeks ago (I absconded for personal reasons 3 years ago). It feels like the early daze of the web again. There's vibrance and resonance here. There's quality over quantity. People actually talk to each other - Not in abundance, which is agreeable to an otrovert such as little ol' me, but in mostly proportional bytes. The tech is even more interesting than it was the first time around and hats off to those of you who are building new things on Nostr. Thank you. That was the whole point all along and now it's happening. It's never going to be just a feed. Indeed, it's a journey. Love.” #quote_nostr_recap
