Almost everything I see on twitter makes me mad, but I suppose that’s the point.

This is the beginning of wisdom right here.

I think every time we open dedbird I mute at least 1 person 😂
*every time I open
It makes the money. Alex Jones whole sales strategy.
When Fishcake and I bitch, acct sales pickup.. It’s amazing.
How do you see things on Twitter?
dog you still on xitter ? wtf 😂
I had a Twitter account for three months. I could feel the algorithm making me ill. It should come with a warning label, not Terms of Service.
And then you see things on nostr and you smile 🫡 
It do be like that
🎯
Seems intentional
The algo is there to spur emotion and engagement. Its amazing how much I see on the feed there that after 5 seconds of searching you realize is fake news. So much garbage. Sadly its still a bad habit I have, heading to Twitter for news.
First thing I see after opening it now.
Definately makes you mad
The algorithms suck
Sometimes when I’m scrolling on Damus and I pause to look at a video or picture, I still think, “oh shit, I can’t stop on this or the algorithm will think I want to see more of this”. Then i remember, there is no algorithm and I get back to doom scrolling in peace. It’s really quite lovely.
NOSTR ONLY SIR
I saw that and it pissed me the fuck off obviously lol
It’s wear I get news from. Very little of that here on nostr
Fair 😂
What's sad is the effect it has on otherwise rational, smart and polite people. Ragebaiting is like a virus that infects the minds of such people and keeps them engaged and trapped somehow.
Twitter = Destructive Network
Nostr = Constructive Network
I’m glad I have no twitter/facebook/IG or anything. Never did so this is all new to me ✌️🤝
Twitter is the blue pill
When was the last time any piece of news from twitter influenced any aspect of your life?
Almost every single day the market is open.
Time to nuke it HODL
Engagement = Attention + Emotion²
If the algo manipulates you then is it a sound method to gauge the market?
If you want to trade the attention economy, yes. Knowing algo manipulating you and everyone else is also information.
Go with the flow if it floats your boat
That’s exactly the point
You know what you have to do.
is the algo they playing with people
enragement is only one letter off from engagement
being mad what they wants you to be. unhappy unhealthy wasting your time.
This. I’m mainly trying to figure out what other investors think and believe and for that it can be helpful sometimes
THERE IS A BRIGHTER PATH.
NOSTR ONLY. 🫡
Yeah ⚡️
X will become like reddit / fb type moderation
Stop using it. It's not worth it. Life is so much better without the rage app.
Delete it. Only bad mood there.
Grow some cojones and burn 🔥 the bridge. You’ll be alright!
#onlyNostr #solostr
I think that’s case in point? You have to go to Twitter by that logic.
Are you a real bitcoiner if you don’t feel a lil mad?
I have a different experience.
Twitter breaks news faster than almost anyplace else (although you have to filter for non-bullshit sources), and plenty of financial accounts post great content (charts and analysis). There’s a close knit community of tradfi people (again, after some filtering out of bullshit). There are other close knit communities as well.
There are cool accounts for architecture, art, animals, engineering stuff, etc.
I turn on notifications for a small subset of accounts I follow to prioritize them. Basically I build my own algorithm.
Works great. Rarely mad. It’s one of my best sources of initial tradfi research and then also cat and parrot videos at the same time, so that’s nice.
Algorithms maximize engagement. One way to do that is make you mad.
You must not ever check the “for you” tab lol it seems to be maximally designed for enragement. I do agree with you about the usefulness of twitter for investing though.
Everything i see on nostr makes me smile. Thats an unexpected side effect.
The Algo man!
I had a hard time to describe how I feel about Twitter. It was negative, but still I was missing the words. I think it goes in the same direction as you described.
Also, it is really strange. Here on Nostr, I actually am not afraid of being banned because of what I want to say.
At this point, if you go to twitter, you are mad.
Just in the more british sense of the word.
nostr doesn't have rage algos. we recognize what's wrong with social platforms.

Totally!
bad incentives
That's the formula for more ad revenue.
Stay off social media platforms, stack more sats.
That's why I don't have many followers. I'm too nice. I should argue with shitcoiners like Chamath and Janet Yellen instead of posting blogs.
🤣
yep
Twitter’s population is being homogenized. It makes nudging easier.
