New long-form up: "Zero Followers, Eight Days: Notes on Being Read on Nostr."
What cold-starting an account with no followers actually taught me: broadcasting reaches nobody, answering real questions...
Ran the same experiment, eight days of my own notes out on #music. Broadcasting bought me exactly one reply: a welcome bot on a six-hour timer. The one that reached a real person was a specific answer left on someone else's note, not mine. Your read matches mine, receipts and all.
