On Twitter, you have to choose between:
a) Posting like a trend-chasing clickbait bot, which feels wrong/fake, but rewards you with an algo boost, engagement, and new followers from the resulting reach
b) Posting like a natural human, which feels right, but loses you algorithm points since you're not feeding the inflammatory rhetoric of the day, i.e. the lifeblood of the algorithm.
On nostr, you post whatever you want and you get zapped. None of these hidden head games (resulting from years of being groomed by an invisible algorithm) apply anymore. It fosters freedom of thought as much or more as freedom of speech 🤙

quoting nevent1q…jskjOn twitter I think before I post.
On Nostr I just post.
Happens organically, feels like there is something less at stake, I don’t know why that is either.
It’s very liberating in a way.
