Welcome

It's really not that much different except that Nostr is about 99.5% bitcoiners so if you want to narrow down your engagement to just bitcoiners this is the place for you.

Welcome to the party 🤙🏽

There is also value in not being inundated with advertisements and a rage baiting algo. It's up to other interests to build their communities here. The same thing that stops them from owning Bitcoin is what stops them from using Nostr -- people have Proof of Work.

I deleted my Twitter account before Elon made the decision to buy it. I still go on there to look at a few accounts but do it with a Nitter instance that still functions so am not a victim to algo's or ads. It's my opinion that Nostr will never become widely adopted & will remain used almost entirely by bitcoiners & that X will continue to be the primary social media space on the internet (unless the government starts to clamp down on it). Normies are not going to start sorting through relays in order to use Nostr just as they are not going to set up hardware wallets and generate seeds so they can self-custody bitcoin. I imagine that social media will change significantly and that aspects of Nostr such as decentralization will be adopted in the future but Nostr is and will remain a place primarily for bitcoiners. I've been on Nostr almost two years & there has been no noticeable growth outside of bitcoiners.

No disagreements with me. I replied with this list the other day and it is definitely going to be a long term issue unless they can solve some of the UI/UX problems that plague ease of use.

1. The same handful of people dominate all trending content and have pretty much forever. 
2. Said people that could amplify new voices often don

i only just started using it and then elon was buying it and i was hearing about nostr after watching the celsius/terra/luna/etc fiasco and i was glad to leave that anxiety fest behind

Nature is healing and us with it.

glad you found nostr

Welcome!

But Twitter was fun while it lasted, years before it became what it is now...a bunch of engagement farmers on Elon's payroll, all scrambling for attention rather than true connection or substance.
