Being on #nostr feels like a fresh start in a way. I have been on #twitter since its early days (less than a year after its launch) and been have been on #facebook, #Instagram, #mastedon, #gab, #minds, #parler, #pixelfed, and #mewe and others in some form.
As with any social media platform, the temptation always seems to be to make a name for one self. Get as many followers as possible. Have a shtick. Appear to be the primary expert.
It's tempting to fall into this trap. To what to garner an audience and be someone. I hate it. And I find myself wanting the same here. The temptation of likes is there, but now there is a financial incentive.
So what do I do here? What do I post about? I'm a follower of Jesus and many of these corners on the internet feel dark. I'm called to be light and point people to Jesus. How is that to be done in a way that is 'influential' yet in a honoring way.
I'm also a tech guy and in both technology and the Bible I feel inadequate to even speak to an audience at any level such as the one here (or any other platform.
I've chosen to be a bit anonymous in all this, and not sure what will be my 'shtick', but I hope I can at least have the tiniest positive impact.
Sorry for my rambling.
