For Twitter (or any centralized platform) over Nostr, another problem is the plethora of perfectly good federated/decentralized existing protocols. From SMTP (with a decent client like Deltachat) to Matrix to AP (not encrypted) to XMPP (no common message store) SSB to Retroshare to Nostr to ... the problem is guessing which will end up with the most market share.

I currently use (and self host) XMPP, Matrix,SSB,Retroshare,SMTP (with alpine client) and use (with 3rd party hosting) Nostr, AP (qoto.org and llamarific.social).

But they are all fragmented as to contacts. People glaze over when I try to explain why SMS is only for emergencies in a weak signal area.
