I wasted a whole hour on Twitter by accident this morning and the entire place is just disgusting vitriol and politics.

I’m coming here to apologize for what I did to myself and know that I will do better. Worst possible way to start the day honestly.

(It appears either my current Brazil ISP has stopped blocking Twitter IP or that Twitter has gotten around it maybe, but it was connected and isn’t currently blocking anything)


Apology accepted.


I added a content blocker on my phone’s default browser for just this reason.


This happened to me last week and is also why I’m here again. I had to kill the bird..


Twitter is basically a news feed for me now. I have several subject-specific lists that are very useful for me, but the ‘For You’ feed is completely toxic, which I try to avoid.


Yes a major reason I just use nostr is that x is just so manic, as you say..

..but I feel that might just the natural result of having millions of humans able to argue and be shits to each other - and that when nostr succeeds it will be the same

I guess the hope is we can have our own algos that actively promote peaceful engagement.

The algo is going to determine your reality.  We really are at the start of something big here..


It's a cesspool


Why not an rss feed from twitter?


Protect your mind.
Twitter is lucky charms cereal for the brain.


We forgive you.


Sure. I haven’t figured that out yet.


It happens. I fell down a rabbit hole looking at the screencaps of the dude that tried to shoot Trump yesterday and people can be disgusting.


“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”
Just a great opening to a motivational speech, doesn’t mean ya gotta battle the bird and it’s legions of bird brains
Appreciate you though
I’d rather my goats elevate my blood pressure with their antics
Stay strong


Nostr accepts your apology.  On the bright side your day can only get better now 📈


Go for a walk sir:

Once you fully get into Nostr, Twitter seems controlled and artificial. You also notice that most people are ANGRY on it, which is unpleasant.

I have to use it for certain purposes, but it's not the "free speech platform" it's marketed to be.

#Nostr is.

I just use nitter.poast.org to lurk and get news from Xitter.

Use tor is better and more anonymous.


Just repost your nostr posts and never check the responses.


First step is to delete app from phone/computer…. then wait a few weeks, then delete account if/when you are ready.


Thanks, I still can't access twitter. While the ban has actually been good for my mental health. There are a few accounts I genuinely miss. Now I can check them out periodically.


Much less your entire week


Been there, just take a shower and start over.


funny, I wasted maybe half an hour on Twitter watching nature movies involving bears.

Somewhat less infuriating and disgusting, but equally captivating. Stupid algos


Zap ‘em⚡

Zap ‘em⚡


Yeah twitter really puts the doom in doom scrolling


I should be in bed. Instead I’m here replying to NOSTR notes.

Because I’m investing my time in the future I want to see.

Yesterday I was a bit frustrated with all the spam accounts in my followers that I can't seem to remove from the list on primal, and primal and amethyst were both feeling extra slow so I wasted 4 hours on a combo of Reddit/YouTube yesterday. Fun, but what a waste! I need to prevent the doomscrolling more...
