Me too. It seems like the only ones getting engagement are inflooencers, shit posters and devs. Prove me wrong.

I would agree that engagement sucks.

For quite a while now, even though I'm a nostr OG I've noticed a serious decline in post engagement, even for the few influencers that still write notes here.

I have two paid relays so its not a lack of reach. I've zapped until my wallet hurt, so its not that.

A few news items is all I get out of nostr anymore, so I log on to read those and then sadly go back to X where I have tons of engagement even though I'm not subscribed to Premium (and will never because Fuck Elon).

Maybe nostr will become hot again someday or maybe its the AOL/Netscape of social media and something greater will come.

Look, I get that Hitler’s early appeal had roots in German frustration after World War I, and his Germany First rhetoric resonated with many. But let’s not sugarcoat it. His obsession with “puri...

You make a mistake when you say the Jews were scapegoated. There are reasons for that. International Jewry was boycotting German goods in a big way which stressed their economy which is how Krystalnact happened. It didn't come out of nowhere. Neither did Mien Kampf, which is actually a journey of discovery of dislike for internationalism as a whole as opposed to nationalism, and pride in German identity.

Yeah, if Hirschfeld’s work was seen as degenerate by the Nazis, it got torched. His books on sexuality and gender were prime targets. And sure, it’s censorship, just like yanking DEI or LGBTQ+ stu...

I wouldn't have phrased that the same as you did. If you've ever read Mien Kampf it becomes obvious that Hitler was a Germany First purist and the jews who had infiltrated cinema and publishing were seen as a corrupting influence of German purity. In a certain sense, Hitler's book reads like a commentary on conditions in the world today. If you haven't read it, its probably because society has told you that he was an evil man and everything he did was evil. This is a lie, especially in the beginning of his rise to power. There are good reasons almost all of Germany got behind him.
