I think the 'people use twitter because they're addicted' can be a bit disingenuous, people on twitter also have meaningful interactions with people, there are communities there etc etc... (you know the things nostr aspires to). I'm not saying that the addiction / ragebait thing doesn't also exist, but that's not the whole picture.
> Because nostr doesn't give them enough stimulation high they need from other algo platforms that can be more predictable.
I still stand firm on this however. The term addiction disregards there are social positive interactions that result in more stimulation. Yeah I think twitter probably has plenty of positive real world social capacity and germination. I don't mean to assume it's all unhealthy. I was a Facebook communities person, I made almost exclusively real-world connections personally and professionally.
I'm arguing over the lack of commitment because of convenience, the urge to fall back to old habits when things "calm down".
The people you mention are also likely not the people I'm targeting. Because the same could be said for why I'm here anyway.
