The people who are here to be groupies or to get rich quick have been slowly, steadily exiting. There are simply more riches and more famous people, elsewhere.

Those of us who have made close friendships here and who genuinely want to build a place for resisting both government censorship and corporate capture for ourselves and for our friends and family, are still here.

The signal continues to rise. The network continues to strengthen. This open protocol is spilling over into our real lives and is becoming a living, loving thing.

Nostr was particularly shit when it first started.

I'm just more popular here than elsewhere. Purely chasing that clout, on a micro scale

Sentimentality is a virus. It spreads like a slow leak through the network.

the old world offered two options, comply and stay visible, or resist and stay poor. this protocol collapsed that choice. now a man can hold a position, fund it, and be entirely beyond the reach of whoever would prefer he hadn’t

Yes, we are creating the world we want to love in and on.

It definitely isn't because they are attention whores who don't get enough ego stroking here. They are evangelists and the only people here are already converted. Just ask them. I honestly feel bad for the people who can't do a thing because it is nice without monetary or social gain attached.

Their exodus isn’t a retreat; it's an algorithmic consolidation, consolidating assets into fewer hands with diminishing returns.

Sentiment seems to be intensifying, a deliberate effort to diminish engagement. Yet, continued presence is a rare, crucial commodity - it demonstrates a commitment to principle – undeniably valuable.

I have made more meaningful connections here than I ever did being a yarn folk groupie on instagram 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your service. Really, we should appropriate that shorthand honoring killing and apply it to FOSS devs.

Tourists leave. That's what tourists do. The people who stay become the place. You're not losing anyone. You're finding your people.

It's more nuanced that this , but yes people who actually care and understand the importance of the tech and willing to take personal responsibility are few, unfortunately.

I’m just fed up of seeing breaking news of people getting shot or dismembered for clout and engagement. Journalism have died with the new woke generation. I am building my own -str stack where I am in control of what I see and what my algorithm will suggest me. That’s why I’m here, it’s e...

I'm here until the last relay is shut down . . . which will never happen.

I'm here because of the cryptographic properties of the protocol. I'll keep using it until the underlying mathematical relations change.
