Oddbean new post about login | logout Once you fully get into Nostr, Twitter seems controlled and artificial. You also notice that most people are ANGRY on it, which is unpleasant.

#nostr feels like people actually wanna engage in a civil conversation so you can actually learn a thing or two even if you don't agree. I think skeletor can describe Twitter the best: https://video.nostr.build/d042014b6c9738296512a5b4be85e9b29e54a7fc6af7bd2d07716c69580aacd5.mp4
My feed which is now full of AI tips, self help threads and almost no real conversations!
still trying to figure this whole thing out but so far I like it, other than it defaulting to "latest with replies" with primal cuz u can't see the original post
