I’ve realized over the past few months of only using nostr that what makes it so unique is that it forces authenticity. Content creators here are not the same as content creators on any other platform because they’re not trying to sell anything. They’re just being themselves. updating us about their lives, their personal struggles, their progress, their thoughts. And because it’s so natural for humans to gravitate towards authentic communication, our “content creators” here receive a lot of feedback from the community via a more true form of exchange. be it reply or btc.
I came here for the freedom, but I stayed for the heartfelt connections via the Internet, which I never believed was possible.
just my two sats 🤷🏻♀️

Yeah the heartfelt connections are here. And that’s cool. Gives a homely feel.
And maybe it’s just the stage we’re at.
But remember - if/when it grows, that homely feeling will go away.
Like any social network (in cyber or meatspace) - the larger it grows and more successful it becomes the more it changes.
This means we have to be careful what we wish for.
Do we want mainstream growth? If so, we have to form a new relationship with it.
Do want the homely feel? Then maybe we shouldn’t focus on growing it.
Could we have both?
Hmm…interesting thought experiment.
Is that even possible?
More questions than answers…
