I feel like maybe a lot of people don't remember how cool it was when we all lived in small networks. Maybe they're too young.

BBSes. IRC. Newsgroups. It was great when we had smaller communities, when people interacted with a limited network. I would come home from school every day and look forward to 300bps telenetting in to Mnematics Videotex in '93, eager to talk to ten people who used the same service.

It was great. We all knew each other, hung out for hours chatting about whatever.

Nostr being small, or "lacking engagement" doesn't really matter. What matters is the community you build here, even if it's a small one.

I mean, you people even FIGHT like family! Cherish that.
