Oddbean new post about login | logout The divide between Bitcoin Twitter and Bitcoin nostr will keep on growing. We are not the same.
Provide the tea, please do explain.
#Bitcoin Twitter is captured by the algo and engagement chasing. Influencers captured by an audience they can’t leave. Makes people there much less likely to think critically and rather align their views to the popular trend set by big accounts. It’s a top down incentive structure.
💯
What's the major difference between the two?

Amen. I'd rather be here tbh. Gave up on twitter a long time ago.
There is no 'Bitcoin Nostr' (?) that is just Nostr???
I mean arguably yes you’re correct. Just for the sake of clarity.
I was hoping I was wrong 😢
Nostr is more than Bitcoin though so at least there’s that.
Twitter is also a lot bigger than bitcointwitter. In fact most of twitter have no idea bitcointwitter exists. My twitter feed is actually pretty good.
It does a decent job at showing you stuff that keep you somewhat interested for sure.
I actually just look at 'following' and chronological feed, so don't really have too much / any interaction with algo. Afaik. I've just curated a good, varied feed there
Algo still decides what you see/don't see from those you follow
Twitter will soon have #nostr as back end .. every platform will be forced to give this choice ..
I think Elon is too much of an egomaniac to ever build on nostr. X will die on the centralized hills
Well - the way he flipped from being a progressive to conservative :-) .. I think he will flip as soon as he realize the power of protocol .. Microsoft did that flip vs http .. plus no one can stand power of people ..
