Whereas my gripe about Nostr so far is that you all are mostly averse to conversation. I guess that's what happens when the platform is dominated by shut-in software engineers. Only Dissident Sound (usually) replies because he takes any opportunity to get into philosophical discourses. The rest, you are hit and miss. Of course, so am I - often because I am sometimes browsing when I am in a hurry.

I actually use Bluesky more than X now because it has more organic engagement and is not as manipulated by algorithm. The caveat is that Bluesky is more leftist, but you can also create your own feeds as well and mostly avoid all that. Only the "discover" feed seems to get fed a lot of politicized slop. But it is like old days Twitter in that you are actually interacting with humans, not bots. I would say the thing that made my frustration with X boil over is how artificial ALL the engagement is now.
