My interest in Nostr has lost its spark. I think I’m done being curious about it. I don’t know if it’s because I have a growing family I want to dedicate 100% of all that I have on them or Nostr and the internet in general have never really added any lasting value to my life… unless of course if it’s necessary for work. This is my personal call to retreat from the digital life and live fully offline in the real. I’ve always known this time was coming and I believe that time has come. I’ll drop by once in a while to see how some of you are doing. I’ll leave my Signal down people if you want to say hi. The people do make the place and there are people here I do cherish. You know who you are. ♥️ Be well and Godspeed!

A shame for me because I so enjoy the tidbits of your life that you share, but I 100% understand and agree that it’s a positive change to go offline, especially when you are starting a family. Your absence will be noticed 🫂
Understand, but that stinks! Thanks for being a great follow and enjoy the family life!
awwww you'll be missed~! but it's totally understandable. enjoy what life is blessing you with—little ones are a blast~! ^.^
Understandable, I've felt the same from time to time lately. Family & IRL things are far more important. 🤝💜👋
Updates on the little car project and ice climbing. Cheers 🤙
Totally agree with your decision. Unless you're posting for sats, its not worth it.
Much love, many blessings and God bless! I’m thinking a bit of the same. Family is growing and life is beautiful in the real world.
I've been feeling the same Sister, I left for a year and came back a couple of months ago to get some mining advice. Little to no interaction. 🚬🥃🫡
Hey, I know we haven't really chatted before, but damn, I'm right there with you. Couldn't agree more. Hope things go well for you!
i think you're wonderful and your family is extremely lucky for this. ❤️ good luck out there 🫂
🫂 I hope, for our sake, you will be back. If you ever want to stage a local touch grass meet up in the mountains, I’m down.
Put yourself and your family first. If you gotta go afk to do that it's worth it.
maybe theyll be a time when the internet just fits in without being all consuming
It was a pleasure to read from you. All the best for you and your family.
I relate to this post since I had my baby girl earlier this year. I'm doing my best to spend less time in the virtual world. Best wishes to you and your family. If you ever need to hear a 'GM', you know where to come back to!
I thought I was the only sape feeling this way! It feels amazing to live fully, wholly and holy in thee Lord's presence! ❤🙏🏼🙌🏼✝️ View quoted note →
True, but as things are trending worldwide there's still a lot of value in a protocol where you can speak freely and not be censored. Ditch all the fiat forms of internet but keep the real ones (like nostr) alive for when it becomes essential
Agreed that means of communication has to stay alive to keep the conversation going. But I don't think nostr will survive AI onslaught of misinformation.
Respectfully disagree. A non-algorithm driven platform with some level of discernment and shared values in its users is the best defense against AI misinfo and bots/sockpuppet accounts
There’s a lot of bots in nostr. Actually it’s almost impossible to remove spam given the structure of nostr being truly decentralized. It’s his Achilles heel.
The WoT settings has cleaned up pretty much any spam I used to see. As for spotting bots that's up to each person to use some intuition Anything that is as useful (and threatening to the powers that shouldn't be) is going to be attacked with spam and bots. Its a dance that's ever evolving, but where there's a will there's a way when it comes to decentralized free communication
With nostr you can share your npub with another person privately. This is important but not well understood when people are encouraged to create accounts for everything.
Be safe with your family. That is the most important thing. Hope to see you here again soon! 💜
When you come back, we would have built a better internet for you! Until then, adeu
doing social media once in while good for health rather sticking eyes to smartphone screen 9 hrs/day
Fully understandable. I don't like signal. See you next time you'll be online sometime in the future. Till then best wishes to you and family
Totally respect this. Choosing presence over platforms isn’t quitting, it’s prioritizing. The real world is still the main chain.
