Freedom usually involves exiting the highway and taking the scenic route. Nostr is definitely the scenic route

GM! Wouldn’t know what the convo on X is, haven’t been there ages. Here is a few sats I didn’t ask permission to send 🤫

I’d imagine it’s hard to see freedom thriving from inside a prison.

That’s why I’m #nostr only. High on signal and high on optimism!
if you use both nostr and twitter you have a pretty nice picture of the totality, why do we have to treat twitter like it’s evil? it’s an inferior tool but abandoning the lot there doesn’t seem to be working. newcomers come to twitter, not here. on twitter they don’t know @ODELL @Gigi @less where would I have been on my journey without these voices? y’all need to reconsider your lines in the sand.

Shadow ban 2.0 is being used on mainstream social media for choosen topics.

"The bitcoin is dead, long live the bitcoin!" Although the BTC is "only" a technical solution, the faith and thought about it are alive. Some are dying, some other are raising. But the technical solution will still alive, because BTC is build for each people of the world unlike fiat money.
Yeah. Constantly talking about Xand demeaning its users yet still going on there to read the posts (even if it's via a third party such as Nitter) doesn't make sense. It's almost as if X is in fact a better place in some cases 🤔
it is definitely not better, flooded with scammers, lies and bad incentives for engagement, mixed with advertising cancer, and an algorithm that clearly skews to amplifying negativity, hatred, short-termism. that’s why important and loud voices which balance the scales are important there. lots of whom have self-censored their voices from there, while like you said maintaining their vision on what’s happening there (almost impossible not to, because it has become the new mainstream). not good imo, worst of both worlds.
what gets normal people to step into nostr if they start with twitter?
not so fast there sir, bitcoin is the best use case for bitcoin atm

Thank you for this perspective. We need it.
I deleted my account on Twitter before Elon bought it. What I don't do is constantly criticize X and it's users while going there to read it every single day which is what Matt does. It's almost an obsession. If X is so bad he should stop spending so much time reading it and writing about it & do something more worthwhile because it seems like he should never have deleted his account.
I don't really care about zaps, it's not that important to me. My node went off line & my channel was force closed so I lost some money and I can't be bothered to redo it just to send & recieve zaps on Nostr. When/if the time comes that Lightning is accepted widely enough as a payment system I'll set up my node again. Otherwise I just stack sats & hodl 👍
i sincerely hope those days are behind us. i would watch what WoS does, now that Phoenix wallet is back in USA if WoS comes back, huge green flag for the future of LSPs
This is such a bullshit take. It just means you entered a self-reinforcing echo chamber with a minute user base. Such a shame watching your transformation from self-conscious privacy advocate into self-congratulatory pastor pandering to his flock like a cheap tele-evangelical.
> a self-reinforcing echo chamber with a minute user base this is true, user base is tiny, but nostr is very early, if we are successful this will not be the case > self-congratulatory pastor pandering to his flock like a cheap tele-evangelical i dont think this is true, still much work to be done, nostr's success is definitely not inevitable --- all that said, thousands of people are sending and receiving bitcoin using nostr, that is pretty cool
It’s totally fine, that we have our own maxi cheer squad. No shame. If the potential is real (is it not?) then BIG NOSTR ENERGY is how low time pref is won. Stay pumped!
