My router broke, and for the last couple of days, I had no Wi-Fi.
I set up my Nostr apps to only connect over Wi-Fi to save on my data plan. To kill time, I went back to scrolling on X instead.
It's been months since I had been there, and what I experienced WILL SHOCK YOU - as most influencers often write:
Ads, ads, ads everywhere: Always the same ones, popping up all the time. It's so tiring, because most of them are trying to trick you to get your attention.
Musk and DOGE posts and reposts everywhere, even if I don't follow these accounts.
Trump, and Epstein related posts and reposts everywhere, by accounts I'm not following either.
BREAKING posts everywhere.
Crypto posts everywhere: ETH, SOL, XRP, etc. Even when I'm not following that kind of accounts. Altcons still going strong on X, and trying to plug their projects whenever possible.
A lot of incivility in exchanges between users. People are so tense or showing their passion in a wrong way. No need to be so fucking rude all the time.
Many posts I didn't get... Like cryptic comments on top of a video, adding no value whatsoever. I guess you need to actually watch the video to get the point. But I don't have time for that, so...
X's thread layout sucks. You've got long threads, and each message ends with a "show more" making the experience miserable.
A LOT of engagement, compared to Nostr. Most posts have hundreds of comments, thousands of likes and reposts. I wasn't used to that anymore, and I hope we can reach that level of engagement at one point, especially for news. Maybe it's all bots and spam - haven't really checked that deep.
Seeing users I follow here be way more active there. And users I used to follow who aren't on Nostr. It's nice to see their posts. I wish we'd have them here, too.
Anyway, coming back to Nostr, I appreciate what we have here.
