 Deleting your Twitter account can actually make a difference.

Every time someone opens a link or searches for an old thread in which you participated they will not see your tweets, the entire experience will be broken and they will hate Twitter for that.

 thank you for showing me the way to nostr 💜

more than 1 year without twitter feels so great 
 Can’t log in because I burned the 2FA number I was using to log in. Didn’t want to give them one more ounce of my energy. You both have made me reconsider.

 NOSTR ONLY 🫡 
 Así es 
 GM. PV. Fuck the suits. Nostr since 2022 and no Twitter for over a year. Feels good man Pepe 
 🫡  
 Fuck off 
 Freedom only. 
 This is the way.  
 Deleted twit yesterday, today #onlynostr 
 #Nostr Only 🫡🧡 
 nostr best for us.

 Been over a year since I deleted twitter 🫡 
 You, @ODELL and @Gigi inspired me to do the same. That's the right thing to do for sure! 
 I'm sure my 15 real human followers there will miss me 
 Yea but how will they know how your trade is going? 
 The bots 🤖 will miss you as well. I swear it’s around 80-90% bot to human, especially if you’re a small account. 🤣 
 Only #nostr 🫡 
 Jack: twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place. 
 Still deciding.. 
 Very true....    Metcalfe's law also works in reverse. 

If the number of users of a network decreases, the value of the network doesn't just decrease linearly; it diminishes exponentially.

NOSTR ONLY

 the only thing stopping me is some scammer taking over my jb55 handle. Maybe deleting all my tweets is the way 
 Just tell some ordinal haters that they don't know what the fuck they're talking about and get deplatformed. Much easier IMO. 😃 
 I don't know what really happens when you delete, but I just tried to take @ODELL's handle and couldn't. It's been over a month already.

 I have a handle I deleted in 2019, and it’s still unavailable. 
 Make a big enough and clear enough statement that you are only using nostr and that anything else is default scam.  
 I did 
 I tend to stay away from bitches ............nostr is satiating! 
 I don’t know If you know it or not but X is a whole lot better than Nostr to protect the freedom of speech in PRACTICAL TERMS. So why would I delete the account. Doesn’t make any sense. 
 Yes, reaching people is far easier on Twitter, so far.

The inadvertent result of the "Nostr only" mentality is the silencing of all dissent on large public forums.

Nostr is good as an alternative but having multiple channels of communication is ideal. 
 Exactly 
 Just make sure before deleting you let everyone know how your trade is going. 
Would be rude to leave all those nice ladies hanging 
 What is Twitter? 😉 
 30 days countdown has commenced 🙌 
 People will hate Twitter for SUSPENDED accounts

People will hate authors for DELETED accounts

 Deleting your: all of it. 
 Ohh boy you're calling for people to go on the offensive! 
 Exatamente! 💪🏾👏🏾😎⚡️ 
 That is a pure waste of time ..  because if you did that , next thing you will do is to delete all your unused email accounts .. then the unused spam emails in the ones that you use ..

Fixing the past is a never ending struggle ..  one should never try to change the history once couple of blocks are cast :-)

  just move on ..  
 They closed my account. I don't care anymore anyway... 
 Nostr only 🫡 
 Inspired by you and @ODELL, nostr only 🫡 
 🫡 
 hahahahaha. did anyone tweet this yet ?  
 When I switched to nostr the first thing I did was delete my Twitter account. Haven’t looked back.  I’m not sure how everything works here, I’m a Gen X musician with no coding skills, but the spirit behind everyone here feels right. I feel like we’re all on the frontlines of the biggest war against humanity and all I can do is bang on a drum. 🥁 
 Thank you for doing this. 
 Lieutenant Valeris: 400 years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes called sabots into the machines to stop them. Hence the word "sabotage."

Uhuru: We are experiencing technical malfunction. All backup systems inoperative.

Chekov: Excellent. Uh, I-I mean... too bad.

 Nostr is great but it isn't 'there' yet. It's still a niche place for crypto aficionados.  
 This is only because Bitcoin has been a failure so far. 
 Harsh words. Failure or just on adoption curve? 
 Failure. Bitcoin was build for one purpose : Where are the middlemen ? 
 This is an attack on Bitcoin. 
 Leaving twitter = entering Galts Landing 
 Still, we have a few squatters here 
 never had a Twitter, but nostr has been quite the experience since I've joined. 
 
 if only people would stop posting useful stuff on twitter. 
 
 What was the last thing that actually changed your life by seeing it on twitter? 
 Real people on the ground news.  Research any topic. 
 I wouldn't delete any social media accounts since you would be cutting yourself off from an audience that isn't aware of or unwilling to move to a different platform. It's good to have multiple ways to communicate with people. However, I will be the first to say that X has become the most anti-free speech and censored platform out of the big 3 with Elon Musk at the helm actively using algorithms that score peoples content based purely on his own perspective making it hard for people to be seen by their followers unless their posts align with what Elon wants.  
 What did twitter do? 
 Leave Elon's walled garden and take your goodies with you.
