Twitter is pivotal for scientists. When I was in grad school, it was part of the official research pipeline. I think it is dangerous for a Bitcoin professional to simply not have access to it. I am using a vpn to at least stay connected, although my account is noticeably shadowbanned. What I want from a social network is clear, explicit control over my hyperparameters, down to the core. What I want from Nostr is a client that will create a research and development timeline focused only on optech-style conversations, where I can absolutely filter misogyny/bigotry/trolling against women and keep the high-signal technical topics. I also hope to have at least the minimal power to design my own algorithms transparently, without shady mechanisms of algorithmic manipulation on the client side that promise functionality but don’t deliver.
