Oddbean new post about login | logout Deleted Twitter account, long overdue.
Great, congrats! These kind of messages are picking up!
I just joined nostr yesterday... but I already get the vibes!
All I use Twitter for is saving the tweets I’ve written, but don’t feel able to post on that controlled space platform. I suppose it’s about time I start using “notes” for that. Also, on the final chapter of lodgings of #wayfaring men, thank you for putting me onto this. 🫡🙌
Amazing! What do you think of the book?
I never thought a book about commerce outside government oppression would help me better understand my wife and parenting. Not many books that are able to do that. I will accept, I still know very little about either subject.
Yeah, it's a wildly inspiring book about many things. Your note made my day, thanks!
What book we talking about guys?
A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, get the free audio book here: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/531078
Adding the government overreach part to my book this morning…… Canadian truckers was fun, but how about uk arrests for social media posts? Yes, I’ll have a bit of that, with the argument, ‘and you think they should have anything to do with your money?’
Yay!🟣 Purple Power!
The great unplugging has begun
I'm not there yet, but I think I can see the coastline :-)
The grass is purpler on the other side.
Too strong of a message, better place a last post with info where to find you (on #Nostr).
Congrats!
Welcome to the #NostrOnly club!
Follow 💪🏽
How does it feel?
I'm using Grok as well so cannot delete X. Might need to find an alternative to Grok.
Grok is amazing, isn't it ?
Does Nostr have an AI yet? It’s the last thing I need to delete my X account.
Welcome to freedom!
Not there yet.
Fuck yeah. #NostrOnly
Another one. #NostrOnly nostr:nevent1qqstm3my8sflg9u945cj8jl586r23smafqyusz86n03623r75my8e6spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsyg9ha45tqck7dd9p9egl6559c8s7pmgw2y5vm2f6kyd5z594tmfjlspsgqqqqqqsfeu2pq
Work in progress
Fancy seeing you here
Another lost voice for the good of nostr.
Twitter lost my voice more than a year ago, the account was just around to repost occasionally.
I say this to everyone who is posting the bye Twitter posts. I believe it makes more sense to use your following to evangelize nostr on twitter. Not sure nostr survives without growth.
It's a very good point! On the other hand consider the power of the merchant. If you produce a great product that people want to have, and you only accept a specific money for it, people will get their hands on that money somehow in order to pay you. The same goes for publishing information, if you broadcast only on a specific medium, then people will simply adopt that new medium in order to read your stuff. I refused to accept fiat money for my work years ago. And now I refuse to publish my ideas on fiat platforms. This approach has forged many bitcoiners, and will hatch many ostriches.
I like and appreciate your explanation. I get something new every time I ask the question and learn more each time. My concern is that Nostr might become a broadcast station playing to empty cities, where valuable messages go unheard, and the name "Nostr" fades into oblivion. Any potential to make a difference could be lost. I understand your perspective and believe it could work. It reminds me of the "If you build it, they will come" mentality. I hope they do.
Ultimately, why not both?! The beauty of division of labor is that we don't all need to have the same strategy, anyone can try out anything, and something will eventually stick. You can for example post screenshots of the exclusive notes on twitter, highlighting how cool it is over here, and that this content isn't published directly over there.
Agree 100%. Thanks for engaging with me.
Thank you for providing solid reasoning!
