My interest in Nostr has lost its spark. I think Iโ€™m done being curious about it. I donโ€™t know if itโ€™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 lifeโ€ฆ unless of course if itโ€™s necessary for work. This is my personal call to retreat from the digital life and live fully offline in the real. Iโ€™ve always known this time was coming and I believe that time has come. Iโ€™ll drop by once in a while to see how some of you are doing. Iโ€™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. โ™ฅ๏ธ 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 itโ€™s a positive change to go offline, especially when you are starting a family. Your absence will be noticed ๐Ÿซ‚
Understandable, I've felt the same from time to time lately. Family & IRL things are far more important. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‹
Totally agree with your decision. Unless you're posting for sats, its not worth it.

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. ๐Ÿšฌ๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿซก
i think you're wonderful and your family is extremely lucky for this. โค๏ธ good luck out there ๐Ÿซ‚
๐Ÿซ‚ I hope, for our sake, you will be back. If you ever want to stage a local touch grass meet up in the mountains, Iโ€™m down.
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!

Go raise that family. No better use of your time! ๐Ÿš๐Ÿซก
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
Thereโ€™s a lot of bots in nostr. Actually itโ€™s almost impossible to remove spam given the structure of nostr being truly decentralized. Itโ€™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.
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 isnโ€™t quitting, itโ€™s prioritizing. The real world is still the main chain.
