I'm going to take a break from Nostr, not sure how long.
The narrative here seems to be the same as on Bluesky, minus the celebrations of death. A whole heap of "both sides", "no right vs. left", "Jews did it", "false flag" and so on, and so forth. Not to mention 99% of whatever else I see is just Bitcoin, BitChat, Knots, whatever other drama is going on in the BTC community.
The latter doesn't shock me in the least but I would've thought Nostr's community would've at least had the decency to wait a few weeks (at least) before going full schizo.
I'm at a point in my life where I really do NOT need constant negativity and nonsense in my day. I'm struggling just to find a job despite being capable of doing the ones I'm applying for; moreover, even lower end jobs outside of my industry simply are not available where I live. Dealing with drama and schizo posts aren't things I want to deal with right now.
I will almost certainly be back as I've taken breaks before, and I still firmly believe in the importance of Nostr as a protocol, but man... we really need more people on here posting stuff that's DIFFERENT for once. Gets so old seeing the same garbage day in, day out.
