Should we make March a Nostr only month? No Twitter. Nostr only. That gives you exactly one week to get your Twitter fix in.

Should be fairly easy for me. I will miss some folks buuuuut also not the end of the world
In
I have an incredible multiple RSS newsfeeds through feedspot.com and can create my own from almost any website using rss.app all scrolling across my multiple screens using Desktop Ticker, but thanks Bro, I'll check that out.
Sure.
Have fun being uninformed.
I checked out the available feeds and they don't hold a candle to the feeds I get but thanks anyway.
It is quite blissful
I've heard the saying that ignorance is bliss.
Never really believed it.
1) find your favorite news rss feed
2) visit rsslay.nostr.net
3) add them if they are not found
4) add wss://rsslay.nostr.net to your relays
5) follow the pubkeys that you generated above
boom instant news on Nostr from your favorite news websites. (or twitter users if they aren't on nostr. just use nitter.net to get their rss feed.)
lol Mastodon is way better than this shit. Twitter users hated Mastodon and this is way worse
I want to try mastodon months ago and it was imposible to me to join without knowledge. On nostr protocol literally takes me 5 seconds to push events.
Fixed my twitter timeline with a js script to block algorythm and only read my follows in cronological order. This is a must.
I deactivated my Twitter a week ago so sure!
So on board with this!!
Today my family is celebrating fat Tuesday, the day before lent and I will be deleting every social except nostr. I know it will be worth it, and I encourage everyone religious or not to join no-twitter-march!

Niiccce!
I am with you Derek 🫂
I've been doing that since December

Where are uploads stored
Depends on the client, some of them use nostr.build
The twitter refugees that went to mastodon and gave up likely never even tried soapbox or the good mobile apps. Search Engine Optimization for the fedi has been fucked since the media blitz of 2017. Also the walled garden instances joinmastodon.com funneled them into probably didnt tell them about soapbox on purpose.
Also, a lot of the people here came from twitter and in many ways nostr is more similar to it than the fedi is. We can't really compare instances to relays because there's no real loyalty to them here. People publish to as many as they know about and (hopefully) pull down posts from just a few. Whereas on fedi people identify with their instance and the instances close to them and communities form. Communities on Nostr are more like twitter. Just like minded posters in a giant public pool with no clear boundary. I'm not sure nostr will ever replicate what the fedi has, and I think thats ok
Absolutely no way - most of the clients are still alpha grade. If Damus was available on Android / Web then we'd be in a much better place. We are half baked at the moment! #Onwards
The real question is who are we going to send over there to spread the Nostr ostrich memes?
The pool is not that giant here because you have to choose what relays to see posts from and the web clients don’t work with many relays. Federation and user discovery better on fedi
It will happen here too one day with #NostroBlock
👏
Thats kind of the idea behind posting to several. We may not read from the same relays for each feed but my posts are still highly available
Finding people for me so far hasn't been too big of a problem
I would support it 💪
I'm down! Already silenced all twitter notifications on two of my devices and life is alot more serene and tranquil... as it should be.
#MarchOffTwitter #RunningOnNostr
Got a good relay list to paste here ?
Starting in one week: #MarchOffTwitter
🥁🚶🏻♀️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏻🚶🏼♀️🚶🏽🚶🏿🚶🏾♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♀️🚶♀️🚶🏾
Spread the word.

It will automatically find them
oh shit i have a lot of RSS feeds.
Just do what I did and forget your password!
I'm using these
I like the idea! Let's do it
Been considering doing the same, but I have been cloned a few times and worried that if I don't maintain a presence on Twitter, more people will get scammed. Perhaps it's time to let go of that concern....
I deleted Twitter few days ago. Now using Nostr instead. I do not miss it :)
Ty. Iris.to is the best UI. Using it ?
This should include posting links to Twitter, here in #Nostr. SHAME!
Reminder: #MarchOffTwitter begins in less than a week.

I’m in. Sounds like a good reason to officially remove the blue bird app from my phone.
Every month is nostr only when you’re ready to make the leap.
Whoever came up with the tag #MarchOffTwitter deserves a raise
🏃♂️
There are people here who still use Twitter? 🤔

i want to tag maybe: daniel but i cannot. snort is being difficult with tagging this morning.

By golly, I'm in!
I’m already there:
I no longer worry about macro, munger, or macron.
Instead, I follow dudes with gifs of their dong.
I don’t give a shit if Trudeau’s socks are nice
I don’t ever check price
I keep twisting my kids tits
Because I’m obsessed with nips
Instead of an algo showing me five crimes
I’m watching Will update Damus nine times
I used to need a mid day nap.
Now I zap, while I’m taking a crap.
I no longer here screams
I fall asleep to purple dreams.
I support this idea!
Already here this week cuz Elon keeps suspending me on twatter.
It would be awesome if in April we could see the usage stats on Twitter for #MarchOffTwitter to see it’s impact!
#MarchOffTwitter brilliant, I'm in!
efnet! taking me back to the days now!
And count me more than in. Already disabled all twitter notifications and wiped it off half my devices. Life is much better. Much much better.
I love to see you here, Bekks 😉
😲 snort says you're not following me? 😭
I deactivate Twitter today, so I’m ready 🤙🏼💜
you're ahead of the pack.
snort says Michael Saylor is following me, but I don't think he is
Real men delete their twitter account on march 1st…
then i guess im not a real man. how embarrassing.
But I am.... 🤔
This won't be a hard challenge. 🤣
Keep it and just post Nostr memes
Give up Twitter for lent
Less bots and less noise actually
I've tried it, its pretty good
I mostly post on my phone so I'm on Amethyst
It’d be nice if you could exclude certain words or phrases like fedi, a lot of the spam posts are identical.
I see no spam on iris. Damus was terrible
Qq ~ can we call it the “March off Twitter” movement?
#dadjokes
that's the hashtag that we're using actually :) #MarchOffTwitter
Good news, I’m a dad.
#[4]
omg i've been trying to tag you all morning. now that you commented, i finally can.
Never liked blue.... , purple for me, im in
Also helps to change the reset email to a random email address 😜
Delete your phone app so you don’t get tempted.
Congrats..!
you are still on Twitter? 😜
yes⚡️💜

How about never use twitter again? Your better off on TheFediverse than Twitter
Father of the year 🙌🏼
Did the relays you use change between clients? The client you use shouldn't have anything to do with spam you're seeing
Iris only shows frens of frens of frens, IIRC. So basically all it's doing is hiding accounts with no followers.
Yes. I'm in.
#[1]
The problem with Iris is it sends notifs for other people's posts and the threading breaks down all the time. It's the best looking client but it's unstable. Although I had a ton of relays, so maybe it'll work better now that I've trimmed them down.
throw your phone away so your not tempted.
Fucking based?
Haha, I almost want to try to log in again just so I can log off with a dramatic flourish in March.
Almost. 😂
live in the woods so you’re not tempted.
Yeah, Iris is the best way to browse Global without being selective with your relays, at least.
#[0] #[1] #[2]
Although now that I've gotten rid of the default ones, everything looks fine on Damus too.
yes #[2] suggested this idea like a week ago. Let’s do this.
Sure 🤙
Ok can’t do multiple quote notes..had to try..😂😂😂
serious question, where do you get "informed" from? i am constantly on the search for fresh sources
Address for Damus ?
I do still tune into some spaces but not that many.
since i discovered nostr i almost don't go on twitter anymore. Then around here there are no newspapers and news from my part of the world
Who is with us? Lets do this 🤙 #[1]
Try
The Flip Side
Address? I just mean the iOS client.
Should have it listed under relays there
I don't understand? I wasn't talking about relays. I've already sent you the ones I use.
wss://relay.damus.io
You don’t want the Damus relay, it’s one of the bad ones.

Done 🫡
done.
I think the big question on people's minds when the March on Twitter is coming to an end might be...
Should I go back to Twitter?
or
Have I moulded enough of a home and community for me to use Nostr exclusively?
I have a feeling March will be a very busy building month! The tools and clients available to the layman will be getting improved and updated so quickly I feel as the field of dreams line comes to fruition.
If you build it. They will come.
I'm in
I’m in 😎
LFG!
lol same
