If I may, I'd like to provide my reasons for switching to nostr but I'm typing very slowly because I'm only using a phone, and a stylus to type, so it takes me time to reply. I even rest when I'm tired using the stylus lol

My reasons for switching to nostr:
Longer content, as against Twitter's 278 characters, for non-verified users who refuse to pay $8

Decentralised, no-holds-barred communication, provided it does not cross the line on abuse

Safe, no spams here and there but I see some, although I'm sure nostr devs are working on eliminating them

Twitter's DM's are replete with porn, fraud and all sorts of scam and if you block them, you run the risk of getting shadow-banned, which Twitter keeps denying they're doing. They say they never shadow-ban but a lot of our messages don't even get seen, as in no views. They choose the ones they want to promote, like the more explosive the content, the more tweeps will join in the convo that gets heated up, then they will ban even the most innocent tweeps. Yes they do that, every single day. You can get banned even for the tiniest things but if you're a government official verbally abusing and even hurling invectives at their detractors, they never get banned

Twitter has too many glitches but tweeps hardly even complain about them as its a waste of time, effort and emotions

Tweeps get suspended for 3 days for maybe over-following or following back upwards of 100 but they pride themselves on having celebrities with gazilions of followers and non-celebrities who spend money buying followers from the black market. They are also selling inactive accounts in the blackmarket so there are tweeps who follow and accumulate followers, then sell them to the highest bidder

Twitter maintains they do not suspend accounts for no valid reason. I've had 4 pioneer account that got suspended. Reason? I was never made aware of, it would just prompt you to read the terms and conditions but never gave me any particular reason. I don't even swear, no bad words, always wholesome but they tolerate the gazilions of porn accounts that pay them big money

Twitter say they do not choose acoounts to promote but it's a massive lie becausevyou see tweets day in and day out getting promoted by the system, even non-verified ones. They choose whose tweets to promote while our meaningful tweets do not even get seen, like you're tweeting stuoud stuff that do not deserve to be seen by by anyone

Twitter does not have animated PFP and banner images

By the way, I have been having trouble with my orofile and banner. I'm unable to modify them so I'm stuck with the defaukt pfp and banner image of ostriches. Is that some kind of a glitch? because I had them before but all so suddenly, it stopped working yesterday. I hope to have my animated pfp and banner images back
