 I want to add one more thing. 

I tried nostr before like a year ago but there were not so many accounts which I follow on Twitter was here, the community was not here at the time. That was keeping me away not because I want to because I had to. I use twitter to follow news(not main media news obviously), ideas and sometimes share mine. 

I couldn't do that on Nostr back then. I even had to reactivate my twitter account(I deleted it because they banned me because I said fuck, not to somebody btw). I even lost the key of my first nostr account so created a new one.

Community is here now, just couple of accounts remaining which I follow for local economic views, news etc. They are resistant to come nostr didn't even reacted my invites but we'll get there.

What makes it work is not the UI or how easy to use it or how decentralized it is, they are important too but none of it as important as the community itself. 

Mostly Bitcoiners will be here now because they are tip of the spear. But couple of bans and arrests later everybody will flow in. Nothing motivates people more than an example.

I just wonder what twitter will be like without us😄

 welcome back. do the work. build your flock. grow your community. 

and if feeds of local news don't exist, you can try burning them with a bot or rss feed aggregator.

 Status update. Just deleted my Twitter account 30 days and it will be gone forever. I tought as long as I'm there others won't move to nostr, I better cut their supply 😉

 Unless you want to keep it as a mirror to draw people over on nostr using connect.nos.social.

 Thank you for the link, great idea btw. But I'll leave that function to governments, they will work better than me 😄  Most people are not convinced unless they live it. They will be banned and even fined using it with VPN then they will understand the value of nostr.
