 How to delete Twitter and go Nostr-only:

1. Tweet "bring back the guillotine"

Congrats, you are now Nostr-only! Enjoy the freedom to say what you want, no matter what. 
 damn lol 
 Elmo Husk is turning into yandere dev confirmed

say anything and he'll go mad 
 YES

 and 
 Why abandon the biggest (relatively) free speech platform in the world? 
That is just stupid. 
Nostr obviously is not a viable alternative(and I’ve been here everyday for 10 months). 
 Because they stress you enormously if you try to connect via VPN.
I understand Elmo's fight against bots, but its so annoying.

Ah yea and zaps. 
 Because Twitter is not a free speech platform.

Platforms will never be able to provide truly free speech because their centralized nature is an easy target for government censorship. 

Only decentralized protocols like Nostr can provide a truly free forum. 
 It is definitely a relative freedom of speech platform. Nostr is more free, but WHAT does that matter when the REACH is about ZERO. 
Without X and Rumble, we are definitely fucked. Nostr means nothing in this perspective. It’s a circle jerk. 
 Completely disagree. 

That's like saying Bitcoin is a circle jerk in 2012 or 2013. Now look at it. 

Nostr will continue to onboard people who are banned from centralized platforms.

And if we need it, Nostr will allow us to communicate when all other options are forbidden. 
 The problems in the world are much too severe to wait for Nostr to evolve for 12 more years. And as you can see, I am here on Nostr too, by the way, because I see that is has POTENTIAL for greatness in it. But right now it is completely insignificant. 
 Dude you've been here 10 months but aren't verified?? 🤣😂 okay BOT 
 What? How do you get ”verified”? And why should I want to? Because of people like you? No Thanks. 
 Verify organic matter 
 It's kind of the whole point. Your npub is not the way to find people ideally. It's like an IPV6 address or something. 
Imagine a world where you can have 1 or many aliases pointed to one or many npubs. Then you could have a work application tied into Nostr. Nostr is not an app, it's more like a protocol.  
 Look up NIP-05 or go to a place that offers it.  
 Oh now I get it. It is the WHOLE POINT. How STUPID I must be! And it’s a PROTOCOL, NOT an APP! 
Thanks a lot for that dr Feynman. 
 ✌️🫡 
 🤦‍♂️

 And WHAT is that supposed to show? That I’m even more stupid than you thought? (And I suppose You’re ”bullish” on NOSTR🤡) 
 We're early. You can't just put something in there, you will need to 
A) sign up for a service like nostrplebs that supports NIP-05
B) have your own domain and implement it yourself. 
I think Nostr long term has alot of promise but it clearly is not intuitive yet from an application standpoint. 
Sorry if you weren't being sarcastic, it seemed that you were. 
To get technical, the domain needs a location like this that points to the npubs. It's how the search finds the npub. https://sovereigncraft.com/.well-known/nostr.json 
 I don't abandon platforms like #Twitter #X. I just get blocked or banned on a regular basis. So I focus my efforts on platforms like Nostr.

It's just common sense. I'm not after fame or notoriety. I just want to hear what other people really think and have my say too. 

Without some #fucking know-it-all middle-man deciding what I or You! should have the right to say or hear..🤔 
 Fair enough 
 As a non-Twitter user, I find this obvious display of addiction amusing 
 Oh. What an interesting view point! 
I’ll write it down in my little note book. 📕 
 Just because you can say words doesn’t make it “free” speech. People get banned all the time from it.. idk seems like cope 
 I guess twitter isn’t as free as they say lol  
 😂 
 just ABANDON it is fine !

u need to bring normie from there - never close bridge 
 Funny that the ones banning you from saying that would probably be the first to get that punishment.  They better not make the same mistake as the French did. 
 It really works! 
 Can confirm this works 

nostr:nevent1qqstwna9kwvz9pl3qmevgj2k92upmnthq0uet4thp0hg60p7eq66kcspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygpast50dnrvp9j5f0enujr45ql4vq9vlalvgelp2zsucacj6g2deypsgqqqqqqsds8544 
 You can't delete a suspended account though.

 Break free from the shackles with this one weird trick. Elon Musk HATES it.

 It works! 
 Not for Gigi

He still hasn't mastered this magic 😆 
 #bbtg 
 💀 this is good 😂😂 
 I'd rather have my foes put in real butt-pounding prison 
 Then how do I PsyOp the normies? 😆 
 And please don't forget to add this to the #mikedropchain
Put this on to  encourage people to go NOSTR only.
