 Nobody saw this coming  
 In my country the ex Twitter fall to the bottom of the 200 most downloaded apps literally 199 ⚰️🐦

Blue checks on Twitter are huge normies 
 Lol “views” 
 Can't wait for elon to push on his plan of making it a paid app for all 😌

 They will systematically silence the herd.
Only there to shill nostr to the few that will listen.
Instead of moving somewhere with freedom they choose slavery. 
 Election season will ramp up censorship and it will give folks more obvious incentives to shift platforms. 

Happens every time 

The masses need to be poked to move 
 $8 well spent….. 
 1st rule: when browsing twitter don't engage with blue checks. 
 2nd rule: Don’t browse Twitter. 
 😆 
 Captured by the fraudulent “views” number of mostly bots… somebody pray for their dopamine receptors https://image.nostr.build/51dad61018099976a697d4758e2e7738a124ddfd5eac1dc3afcc55ccd6b879c6.jpg  
 They need to take their ball and go play somewhere else 
 🤣😂 
 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂🤣

 Twitter wants to be Wechat the worst honeypot you could get into 
 The curtain unravels…. 
 Sovereign money, sovereign communication, the future is the sovereign individual 
 Purple pill them! 🟣💊 
 Many such cases 
 Are they going to come? 
 Dang 
 GE 
 it's wild to me that people that used to make fun of blue check are now blue checks themselves. 
 Only Matt there is not blue check. Poor soul... 😅 
 What are your views on the argument that in its current form Nostr actually increases centralisation and the concentration of engagement? Those with other platforms (social, IRL presence, marketing dollars) can funnel and build their Nostr network quite easily, whilst those with none of this - the average person - finds it incredibly difficult to get engagement. If the answer is it’s down to the client can just adopt a Twitter like algorithm, wouldn’t those connections just permeate into the wider Nostr community? Eg, I build a large following using a Nostr Twitter algo carbon copy, those connections are now made irrespective of what other clients are doing. My outreach has now grown significantly. 
 Complaining about the platform you're using, on the platform you're using, is fiat behaviour  
 Memes always did well. 
 Altcoiners, read Nano-idiots, at least have more trouble moving from X to NOSTR. The latter requires a brain and some technical ability which is the antithesis of what they believe in and are fighting for with their shitcoinery.

Smoke and Mirrors on X is great
Smoke and Mirrors on NOSTR is exposed 
 As mystifying as why prices go up.  
 Algo talk + interaction mattering being put first and foremost.
No, this is not something Nostr fixes. It's about *actually* being social. What people in this screenshot want is to have interactions, reach and visibility - now. Not in a few months, but right the moment they post.

And I am glad this isn't here on Nostr. 
 Shame on everybody if 3-5k people ever give a crap what I have to say.  
 GM, STAY AWAY FROM TWEETER, STAY AWAY FROM TROUBLE
#NOSTR 
 Everyone needs a friend like @matt__paz 🫂🤙🏻 
 If you still have a Dead Bird consider driving your audience to nostr.

 who knew?? 

'Cept them that did. 
 Blow checks 
 Blue chumps 
 Jesse’s content is useless 
 People are mistaking reduced interactions for less views. Most of twitter's business model was to allow a freeforall for bots, and this artificially increased engagement. Bots have known for many years how to piss you off by making bad arguments about your thoughts. It doesent take much to get people riled up and reacting to what they think is another person that needs to be corrected. It had the positice effect of getting people to defend their ideas, it also gives the perception of "activity", makes discussions more interestinf and feeds the gossip machine in all of us. But lets get real, why would someone with differing views actually spend their time stirring up a bees nest on the other side? That would mean they enjoy reading opposing opinions and yet also enjoy disrespecting people they like to read. Its a bizarre personality profile, and I have a hard time believing people do this for entertainment. This is why I am lead to the conclusion its literal bots doing most of it, and paid trolls doing the rest., What we see in chat gpt today is only a very advanced example of what has been trade secret in the intelligence apparatus for a very long time.
Back to twits complaining about "the algorithm" causing reduced engagement; Its more likely the unintended effect of forcing KYC &/pay to post.
