 Don’t abandon and delete your social media accounts elsewhere. Use those accounts to bring your audience to Nostr. That’s the way we grow, by bringing people over. If you delete your account and never post elsewhere it’s like you’ve gone dark to most people and that doesn’t help.  
 DO BOTH. 

SHILLED NOSTR FOR A YEAR BEFORE DELETING X.

REMOVING YOUR CONTENT, MAKING IT NOSTR EXCLUSIVE, AND DECLARING REAL CONVICTION MATTERS. 
 Yeah. Your other accounts are an audience and resource you’ve build up. Use that to get them to Nostr. 
 THAT IS MY MISSION ✨
TO BRING MY PEOPLE TO NOSTR ONE SILO AT A TIME 💪

 
 Amen 🧡 
 I think you're referring to @odell. If not, this still applies. I understand your point, but when you're trying to extricate from the legacy system, staying in it, isn't extrication. Just like you get BTC at the price you deserve... You get freedom the same way. 
 I like going dark. 

If I matter to them, we’ll reconnect when they’re ready. They need to choose freedom too 🙏

 Been battling with this recently 

Our attention is so key though 

Ie if I truly focus on Nostr, the experience will be far better, specifically as a content creator, to truly figure out how best to use it

But then leaving behind audiences seems like a cost. But at what point does your X following become a bad debt / sunk cost? & you’re better off cutting losses 

Def something to think on for a day or so 
 It's not my job to convert anyone to anything.  I'll live my life true to myself and my principles.    I don't vote; and I don't use X.

 Will you be leaving goat friends behind?

 We haven't been on X since Feb 3, 2023 or real close to it.   The herd left all big social media behind, except for Youtube since that's where the main audience is for the Lightning Goats.   

Yeah, we actually have left a lot of friends behind,  they all have our phone numbers and emails and can contact us if they want.

Before anyone pipes up about zap.stream, we would do zap.stream, but we don't have 180000 stats a months to throw at it.  10 sats a minute 10 hours a day on average, 365 days a year adds up.   If anyone out there wants to sponsor the Lightning Goats and pay that bill, we'll do it.

\m/ Tune in. Turn on. Opt out. \m/ 
 Strong disagree 
 Too late. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 That’s the way. If you have large audiences in your other accounts and close them, how are you supposed to attract more users to #nostr?

With the power of your convictions? 🙄 
 Yep. Use the funnel. 
 I prefer to go dark there honestly, nothing beautiful is there 🫠 
 To late 💜🫂 they wil find me . Maybe it wil take thim a couple of years but everybody finds nostr in their own pace 🔮 this light wil never go dark 💡🎶 
 Thank you- brand spanking new here- you where the very first nostr-er I found on youtube nostr convention.  Your talk blew my mind !! Seriously appreciate you !! 
 Xitter is a shitcoin.  
 It’s called going Galt. Those who know how to bring value will find us. 
 You're not my dad. 
 This platform isn't as angelic as claimed to be. There are other better platforms in terms of experience.  
 I really do think nostr needs a 'ehat are they building over there's presence on perhaps substack and twitter. A regularish press release -style update on the projects here.

OpenSats does this to some extent with what they are finding, but also including new independent projects and also their progress. But in a quite dry trade press style (I think the OpenSats grant report is well written for this sort of thing).

What I mean is to not include 'waahey purple ostrich freedom tech, look at this lame memes about the price of bitcoin'. Just a to the point run down of developments, with the occasional big announcements.

I think WeDistribute sort of do this (along with Bluesky and fedi etc), but perhaps they've not really got their finger on the pulse of Nostr and this would be solely nostr.

Obviously I'm not the person to do this. And perhaps it exists already(?)
