I noticed I don't post on here half as much as the I do centralised algo apps. I couldn't figure out why.
And now I know why.. I pick my phone up, doom scroll, then 20/30 minutes later I'll put my phone down. Within about 30 seconds the centralised algo app will buzz me with a notification to say "You might like this from Karen"
So my stupid monkey brain is intrigued. Picks the phone up again (like it's a banana) and I'm not even interested in what Karen is doing. I notice 'Tony' has a new role at work and click on his page with my monkey paw. Then suddenly an hour has gone by. I notice an article, I'll read that. It was rubbish (most of the time) - I'm frustrated.
But keep going back.
And I've not even thought about Nostr once, even though I think I know it's value - it represents what i think i represent - freedom, self sovereignty, Bitcoin etc.
I'll sometimes even flick through the other centralised algo apps before I put my phone down and not once go through my Nostr feed, even though I love it.
The other apps are like crack (i imagine). But the crack is not even good. And I keep chasing the cheap dopamine hits from them. Like a social media junkie.
I've quit so many things before, like smoking and drinking. Toxic women. Shitcoins. Social Media is one thing I truly struggle with.
So I'm going to wein myself off it - one day at a time. I read somewhere that it takes 3 weeks to form a new habbit.
Or 21 days.
So here it goes #21daysOfNostr
Posting everyday. 🫡🧡
