Yeah idk y'all. You can just do your own thing. The follower count doesn't even work. I would go as far as just remove it.
I make cassettes. If I was to think "well, spotify has a much better way of deliver audio than cassette" on one hand that's true. But it's also incredibly lame and misses the point.
So idk, I hear your points but it I think people are so used to an attitude of if I don't get instant feedback I delete this post or whatever. Nostr is a different medium and "the medium is the message."

I get what you mean. I am sort of arguing more about the mechanics of how to get visibility here. And it being geared towards a certain type of user or posting style, predominantly. I don't think I anyone expects instant feedback or followers or whatever. But I also think there should be other mechanisms to discovery than being from bitcointwitter, or appealing to the whims and tastes of Recommended Users (I'm being a bit hyperbolic here but you get my point).And it feels like there easily could be other mechanisms, but not so much the desire or urgency to actually put them in place.
Again just a bit more hyperbole. If you came here and spoke about Other Things you cared about and got ignored, but got thrown a bone if you made a generic botcoin 'meme', that would shape behaviour and the platform generally. I'm obviously being extreme here, but this feels like a vague shape that forms here that hasn't changed much over time.
Or something lol
You are absolutely correct. Also, this maybe a symptom of the personalities here rather than the technology.
Most of us ideologically aligned. We get it. That means that bitcoin is the least interesting topic, or should be. It like being in a geriatric ward and talking about being old. That's the last thing they want to talk about it.
So idk, I just try to follow anyone who posts anything that is somewhat different and gloss over the "we are all individuals" vegtable posts. And for me nostr is pretty enjoyable.
Both Spotify and cassettes deliver music. This is more like talking to yourself or talking to a group of people, who might respond and interact with you. Those are two completely different actions, not the same action done in two different ways.
I don't see the point in social media without socializing. That's the sort of thing people do, whose neighbors appear on the 9 o'clock news, completely shell-shocked, to say, "He always seemed like a nice, young man. Kept himself to himself..."
One of my dreams is to be interviewed on the news just so I can say 'I always suspected that guy, the signs were there for everyone to see. He always called the Olympics team "Team GB". Who does that except someone burying people under their patio.'
We are being social right now, what more can you ask for! 🤣
