quoting note10dt…0tvcI am amazed at how far Nostr has come
It hasn’t been down a single day since I joined ✌️and it’s been years
We’ve seen waves of Nostriches come and go, but overall we are still here, still strong and still growing
quoting note1hze…4nvpGOOD MORNING.
LIVE FREE.
quoting note1kny…wuv8Okay I’m going to write it, over time, for my own enjoyment. The question is whether I’ll publish it.
Because I’m not an experienced fiction writer and would only publish it if it’s decent.

quoting note1hlw…08r7Twitter was paramount in bitcoins growth and its battles. Was a very cool quirky place eons before that too. Even though I have a very old account, bitcoin was the reason I started using it more frequently.
I met an incredible amount of good ppl there. Some of the best ppl I know was directly or indirectly because of the bird app. Hired ppl. Connected ppl.
There was/is absolutely nothing like it.
It's hard to imagine how the direction of my life would have gone, it was greatly impacted by it.
Crazy place! A true public square, I'm incredibly grateful for it.
Covid killed it, or at least accelerated its dystopian trajectory.
US politics gravitational force also doesn't help. Nothing on earth can scape use politics, everyone and everything deal with its consequences.
Even decentralized things. But they fare better. See bitcoin.
Anywho... Being with the X account deactivated over the weekend was quite nice, it had been a very long time since I fully disconnected. It is still a lot of signal, a lot of Lindy. But is also became an open sewer. (Why?)
The algorithm evolved for maximum conflict. It's hard to even describe how much it makes your skin crawl. It finds all the shit you don't want to read by the ppl you don't even knew about existed and vomits on you. Even with the large muted word list. It's not a healthy place.
Maxium engagement = more ad views?!
I don't want the firehose all the time. Humans are not designed for that. Different moods different content. Different types of engagement. Maybe even different clients for different sub network graphs. It's time time evolve. I think Nostr takes us there.
BUT I think Twitter's value can't be ignored. It is still a ginormous network.
That's aside from good ppl I know there, where it is our only comms channel.
I plan on drastically decreasing my use of it, truly limiting to posts about Nostr, projects I like and amplifying bitcoin things I believe in. The goal is to trend towards end of use. Hopefully it gracefully coincides with Nostr rising as the new public square. Protocols must be open. There must algo choice. Or we are doomed to doom scroll and ad target conflict.
I no longer will allow myself to scroll.
And will try to starve the beast as much as possible.

quoting note1z5h…5wqjWhat would be the primary rule of: a “rules based international order” sitting on top of money that steals from people?
quoting note17m5…yrrcGoing down the Nostr rabbit hole figuring out how to post Simply Bitcoin content reminds me of my early days in Bitcoin.
This HAS SO MUCH potential. The Nostr rabbit hole is endless.
Apologies in advance for any noob questions or statements.
