Oddbean new post about login | logout Dude… Twitter is insufferable. Every time I actually spend any time engaging over there it feels like it gets worse and worse. Or maybe I’m just losing interest in the type of conversation and seeing it for the cheap trick to enrage me that it really is. Hard to say.
Haven’t been there in many months and do not miss it at all.
Elon has to make his money back somehow.
Probably both. For me the beauty here is that what I see is what I get.. no hidden algos ‘choosing’ for me, ‘directing’ my attention, or attempting to manipulate me into a narrative. It’s a very different feeling viscerally here and I love it! 😄💜
You can certainly feel them trying to program you. I would like to dump it completely but I do feel like there is good value in the macro content as well as the diet and fitness content. Not too much in the way of quality #Bitcoin content like there was several years ago.
I have to say ever since I deleted Twitter, Facebook and Instagram I have been much happier. Life just feels better without all that noise. #Nostr all the way best part is that I'm her because of your @TheGuySwann so thank you very much for introducing me to the world of decentralization
Tired of seeing fight videos and nothing but misery and suffering on the app.
Yep. Deleted my Twitter account this week. Finally had enough.
If everyone is uniform in their opinions there is no inciting incodent that cause debate, rage, laughter or engament to happen. Nostr is chill cus everyone here is a bitcoiner. If all the bitcoiners are honey potted, bitcoin adoption will be considerably slower.
My account got locked for “suspicious behavior” and they wanted me to jump through some hoops. I took that as a sign that I don’t belong there any more. I spend more time here now. Although I do miss a few accounts over there, it is much better here.
It is much different (and actually good) experience when you browse it passively (via nitter) and just check out the interesting accounts.
Loving chill Nostr. I just wish there was more engagement. It’s lame to post and have zero replies here.
You never know who sees your posts!
Clinging on to twitter because it was once good is like clinging onto old friends you no longer have anything in common with. Same with reddit. You wouldn't go there with your Bitcoin questions anylonger. Let them go and move forward.
Yep. I just shut my account down. Then I realize I’m missing out on a lot. Oh well.
...delete it? 🤷 #nostronly for 2 months; never looked back nostr:note1q9l6387229hvxhfjspf8kh8a36jelr4qdgea5vzut3kxn8gha45qasv5q9
Lol I feel you I've been feeling like that for some time, and I randomly got logged out this week and never bothered to login again and its been great
Several accounts I have engaged with regularly over the years have monetized their accounts, and now seem much more into rage-farming than useful posts. It's surprising, to say the least.
Closed my account, never going back to that cesspool.
You'll have to prove that there was ever a good faith conversation on Twitter in the first place. That is s very hard thing to do. I cannot recall when I last saw that anyone being challenged by an opponent, on a core point of their beliefs or implications of said beliefs not having responded with a red herring or non sequitur. nostr:nevent1qqsqzlagnl99zmkrt5egq5nmtn7cafvl36sx5v76xpw9cmrfn5t766qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvupzpw08v4rt5pj9dmfsrk0990zflfywwznt7g5zheap4eefgasjqg7uqvzqqqqqqydlawz5
Sounds like I'm not missing much 😂
