 👋 Jack  
 YES 

#YESTR  
 nostr is bigger than just twitter, end of story. people won’t stop using twitter, no matter what. elon has proved that. 
 until we look beyond twitter, nostr will just be in the shadows. 
 YOU ALWAYS SEE THE LIGHT. WHEN I FOUND NOSTR CLIENTS BEING CALLED TWITTER CLONES I SAID OKAY LET ME POST SOME TWEETS THEN.  
 Twitter, a good product, is always copied and cannot be surpassed. Twitter is my favorite. But Twitter was banned by the evil CCP.

 A very well-written in-depth article about the development, state and potential of Nostr 🙏 Momentum ↗️

 Why you still holding on to Twitter?  
 Less twitter, more nostr.  
 I think that majority of people don't have anything in mind with their data being harvested.  
 great article 👏 
 Would it be possible in the future to shift Twitter to a nostr type of protocol? 
 I think that is what BlueSky was meant to do, but it became untenable to do so. 
 Bluesky was made by jack not musk 
 Correct! Sorry if you inferred that from what I said. 
 I guess that the advertisement model doesn't work with a protocol like nostr (data isn't being sold) so Twitter would need to rely on keeping a % of zaps 
 Hope Musk truly cares about freedom of speech and does this. He probably hasn’t heard of nostr yet, so our job is to make people understand it. 
 Might go against Twitter's business model... Adopting a nostr type of infrastructure means that you're no longer in control of the narrative + the advertisement business model doesn't work 
 I don’t know, relay operations will become a business model soon, and clients like primal and damus also have to make profit somehow, maybe adding ads? There will be plenty business models here soon

 There’s a lot of cynics and delusional people in the comments of that article

 If only I could secure my private key properly on firefox... 
 why are you assholes zapping this note that's just a link to a post that's not even by this grand asshole? 
 Twitter is past, Nostr is future. 
 ...but I thought Nostr was the "Twitter Killer?"

 YASSSSSSSS 

WE DID IT 

Basing this solely on 

Can Nostr Make Twitter's Dreams Come True?
Twitter's founder says Nostr is “100 percent what we wanted”—an open, ownerless network.

We proved our theorem 🦄🦄🦄 https://image.nostr.build/e0db0ae0ee0d1744e5698016c34da3fb70840f54edcb3cdb1b969c24cd1446b5.jpg  
 The funny thing is we already had this long ago. It was called Usenet, Newsgroups, or ALTNET depending who you asked.

Why didn't it thrive in the new century? 
 I can only read it. And it sounds hopeful.
