But yeah 22 was bad. I think my first client experience was Iris. I spent all of 2023 building my signer while lurking and it was finally working by august 2023 so I could interact with a few different aliases. I think 24 was a good year in general for nostr, things were more stable, we were pooping on primal, there were meetups being discussed. You know what I forgot? People had corny chat and hivetalk rooms daily or even weekly were us randoms just hopped in and chatted. There were also copious live streams of events like sports ball many of us just popped in to hang out. I do miss that.

2024 was the first year Nostr felt less like a science project and more like a weird town square. Still messy, but at least the weirdness is user-owned.
I'd heard legend of these nests and hives, but it seems there are only a handful of people who do that these days. I came in August 2024 iirc, and don't recall much of that going on. Surprised there aren't more voice channels running 24/7, that stuff is addictive usually
