Oddbean new post about login | logout I’d rather talk to 200 quality people on nostr than 2 million bots and do nothing yappers on X. I’d actually rather talk to one quality person on nostr over the alternative.
Great signal to noise ratio.
Left Twitter 1.5 years ago shortly after Elon took over and they started talking about KYCing everyone. I don’t miss Twitter at all. The quality of engagement here is 1000x Twitter. On Twitter I usually felt like a was talking to a semi-sentient keyboard that hated me, disrespected my time, and always wanted to get a rise out of me.
You came to the right place. Glad it was a conduit for finding Bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/54ced2f7e0bd00aa1f3e47c2703226aeefe00976534a8258d27cf32f996c7b1f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/79ea1e49d722b07ffff821f11d145129f36b1b326c4bd49d1aa19a0eb730965f.jpg
Word em up.
Took a minute to get used to posts getting a fraction of the activity but once you realize it’s just the bots and scammers who are missing it starts to feel right.
Yeah, we're real, dawg.
Bots will come once people think they have something to gain. So far it’s boring for them.
After Nostr, it's hard for me to go back to other platforms since my mentality has diverged a lot with their typical users. I prefer a slow feed, anyway
Yes
Just wish some of the peeps I used to chat with on x were here.
Yeah, all of my friends are still on Discord
I had the same experience when I quit everywhere and joined the Fediverse in 2019. Social media without corporations deciding what’s important is more natural and human. I’m not sure if it’s the smaller community element I prefer. I’ve been using this place as the Fediverse has grown significantly since 2022. I sometimes wonder how zaps will affect things when the platform is bigger. At this scale, it works nicely.
People here are more likely to be independent thinkers as well. Everywhere else I see armchair quarterbacks and people who overly identify with what they consume and whom they vote for. But here...people actually make things
Nostr is like driving on a scenic country road vs. driving in a loud congested city(X).
Sometimes my feed is literally scenic 😄
This is a rich thought, and only by being here and involved with what is produced here, is it possible to feel it. Commenting on Nostr on another network, they seem deaf and not empathetic to what all this really is.
