 I anticipate 75% of all new people will bounce back to X because they are hooked on the doomscrolling. It takes a good amount of time and deleting your account cold turkey to shake the addiction. 

But, they’ll be back in 5 months wondering why they left in the first place. 
 I'm back after 5 months. I suspect the election will pull me back to X, unless there's an account here that publishes election news🤔 
 Politics is a religion, drop that paganism son 
 You will stay once you realize, that is all theater and it's not worth your attention.

 This was my exact path to Nostr only, for what it's worth. 
 I don't understand why people use X or Instagram. Or even WhatsApp, all stupid people use those platforms, it's like login in with a vaccine certificate and they talk about politics and sports all day. 
 Only time can tell, but its def an exciting moment in history 
 Came back after a year of absence.

UI and speed improved a lot (Primal 👍).

But still network effects for X are huge. 
 Yes the addiction will definitely kick in and people will go back and forth. It’ll be a struggle, but hopefully we can kick the addiction at some point. 
 People get hooked on the drama.

It takes a while to separate from it.

 Hm, dont think I will delete Twitter. Im still interested in whats going on in the world and not inside a sealed ecco chamber which nostr is atp. Not saying it wont evolve but ignoring the world outside bitcoin is not the way imo 
 Much to be said about this which will go unsaid. 
 So true 
 doomscrolling is real

the emotional trigger addiction engineers over there do a good job 
 But you can doomscroll on Nostr  
 My feed usually ends fairly quickly with old content I’ve already seen below that. 
 Ah, right. Haha I nearly forgot that Twitter doesn't have that "feature" 
 You’ve got a point. 
 Sounds like you aren't following enough people.
