Last week, I was stuck in an airport for six hours and ended up talking with a few college kids about Nostr, mostly about diVine. They were shocked when I told them I deleted my Twitter account with 30K+ followers three years ago. They were even more surprised when I said follower counts don’t really matter.

They were very focused on numbers and influence. They’re young, and I don’t think my perspective fully landed, but they did say I seemed pretty zen and surprisingly chill about it all.

I hope we reach a point when more people feel this way.

You should have promoted Nostr on that Twitter account.

Your “here’s what I did, and it’s working out” story is powerful, they’ll be thinking about it for a while.
