 I’m gonna spend more time on here.

It’s time.

I had over 11K followers on Twitter. Now I have under 10K. I haven’t had any engagement on my posts for over 2 years. I get suggested dumb stuff all the time that doesn’t interest me (at least it’s not addictive any more, seeing the latest stupid post from whatever is the latest useful idiot the algos decide to promote).

I can’t even DM people any more to invite on my podcast without Twitter forcing me to pay for premium.

Not to mention that train wreck of a rebrand.

“And we’re going to call it… X”

I mean HOLY SHIT… what ideas did they turn down?! 😂 Let alone the fact that they just evaporated one of the most important words in internet lexicon in the process.

Anyway I really hate that platform and the only thing keeping me there is the community. But I realise now that rather than waiting for the community to move over here, I shouldn’t wait.

Twitter is an empire that’s already collapsing. No point staying hoping in vain that it will reverse course.  Better to start building elsewhere.

You’ll see more of me around here. I look forward to connecting with the #nostr community.
