 Had to delete twitter off my phone again. 

Twitter is a drug. 

And I’m stupid so I keep getting re-addicted to it. 
 Ok good. There’s a long list of actual drugs far more worthy of getting addicted over than that bullshit 
 Frfr I think having an adhd brain makes me susceptible to the dopamine twitter provides. It always gets me 
 Get a little bit of that THC in the lungs, and you will be saying, “what twitter account?” in no time 
 Not a fan personally 
 My heart just shed a tear for you 
 lol don’t be I’m mainly sober these days. Trust me when I say I’ve sampled all of the drugs a couple dozen times. 
 😅 
 Yup the stuff is hard 
 You’re a very naughty boy 
 At least you try. 
 Delete your account… 
 Twitter is basicalli tens of engineers working restlessly to make you addicted, the only solution is to delete it. 
 I just followed @ODELL's example. It frees your time really and lowers your cortizol  
 I feel ya. That’s me with IG. 
 Yep i did the same the other day 
 🙋🏻 same. Social media has definately been the drug of the decade for sure. 

The dumbphone movement kind of picked up some steam as of late. I should try one again for a while because the smartphone was perfectly designed to keep getting you back in to these addictive apps.

 Fortunately never even had a Twitter account. 
 1) What 
 Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, each one of them is like relapsing into cigarette smoking.

I deleted them all ✔️
Been 18 mo 💪🏿

Mental Health never been better 🙏

⚡️Nostr only ✨ 
 this is a smart year to have a sober run 
 I totally get it, Twitter can be so addictive! What do you find yourself getting sucked into the most on here? #TwitterAddict 
 hey hodl maybe your current account will be your last; by your own hand this time. 

you have the power. wield it 
 I THINK IT IS TIME HODL.

YOU KNOW IT. 
 TALK IS CHEAP HODL. ITS FUCKING TIME 
 IT WAS TIME WHEN WE ALL MARCHED OFF TWITTER 
 stay on twitter HODL. Those libs need pwning 
 Stay strong Hodl. Nostr is getting way better when you stay away from addicted algorithims. 
 Thinking about doing the same thing… 
 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS 
 The last time I tried to go back to xitter, they expected a full kyc. That was the end of it for me. At first, I was wondering how it would work out on nostr, but in the early days there was so much excitement about the new found freedoms that it replaced what xitter used to have. After that, things just kept getting better and better. Suddenly, people like you, and others who are incredible to read, started showing up. As of a month ago, I really don't miss xitter at all anymore. Never going back.  
 that's the whole point of drugs lol  
 Stay strong  
 #NostrOnly brother. When will you join us with this crusade? How about you announce Nostr Only on stage next week in Nashville? That would be some fucking signal right there.  
 Same — deleted from phone permanently. 
 Finally put an end to this X crap 
 Just did the same with all social media . Algorithm-free life! 
 I just lurk using a couple of Nitter instances that still work.  Good enough for me. 
 you can always turn on the grey filter on your phone. 
 It's so hard not knowing everything about everything when you can. Addictive. Ain't that the truth. My life is currently very much dependent upon many factors and I am not yet self sovereign. Once I am I think that my consumption will change dramatically. It's addictive, draining, and doesn't make a person feel better at all. Yet, there I am. 
 Install app, log in, delete account, delete app, stay strong for 2 weeks.

THIS IS THE WAY!  
 Nostr needs Spaces
