Go all in. Don’t spread your energy thin 🤙🏻

X is like 80% bots, half of the bots are run my users who just want the engagement so they can't make money, they need millions of views to make money so they bots are constantly posting, the other half of the bots are propaganda bots, that are meant to push an agenda so they can herd the American sheep into a certain direction. I didn't delete my x account, but I don't post anymore, I do reply to some but mostly to spread the word about Bitcoin and word about Nostr. ya, it sucks tho, I see so many content creators work so hard and barely get any engagement. X will die and so will the other platforms. here is a picture I often post on x, and it works, it makes people curious about Nostr

if I told you that since I tried nostr, I hardly even play YouTube anymore? because watching the news that is uploaded here, I feel that it is more legitimate than what you see on YouTube, including Twitter, to the point that when I go to YouTube it gives me a feeling that I haven't felt for a long time, as if YouTube were TV, a lot of content but it doesn't contribute anything.

if I told you to delete my Twitter account and since I tried 'nostr' I no longer miss using Twitter or Facebook?

Completely agree with you. In fact, in Twitter if you respect others but you are not KYC, the algorithm pubishes you. While many bots and scammers who are KYC are allowed to do whatever they want in the platform.

I've never been on Twittex, but I've noticed something here, that only recently floated up to conscious level: There is rarely the hating on each other and picking sides, but when someone writes something IMO rotten of a certain few varieties, it invariably gets huge amounts of zaps and likes, and very rarely opposition in the comments, even though I know there are lots of people here with the same opinion in the matter as me, i.e. thinking it's rotten. The reverse is also true, but not to the same extent - they get opposition a bit more often. It simply seems like people here are afraid to take conflicts head-on, and I have noticed that in myself too, and I think that one of my reasons is that I don't want to be muted, as many of the people having IMO rotten opinions in some matters, like most of the people here, have good opinions in matters of wanting freedom, and are in one way or another involved with something good with Bitcoin and/or Nostr. Another reason is that I recognize the style that I associate as common with a specific type of troll, that sometime pops up on Reddit when I was there, and has done here a couple of times, that can provide endless arguments that are very hard to prove wrong even though they are, combined with concealed attacks on not what, but the way, I think (it's hard to explain), and an incredible ability to turn around and draw attention away from a part of the argument they are about to lose, and twist it into another part, intentionally misunderstanding my point of view, etc. It's just exhausting to try to debate them. It's weird, and sometimes feels very wrong, but good in some ways. And it probably helps Bitcoin and Nostr which is of course good.
