Good morning,
I've just spent 20 minutes reviewing my ~250 Twitter followers.
Out of the 100 that I blocked, half were impersonators, other half were random e-girls.
And many were verified.
I'm a random anon that has no value, yet still 40% of my twitter followers were basically botnets looking to scam people, so I can only guess it's worse for highly visible accounts.
On top of that, crypto and nft scams are making up to 80% of my ads.
I'm very happy Elon disclosed some of the Twitter Files (the reporters with access to the files got fed whatever Elon & lawyers handpicked, though.), and that there is less speech suppression on Twitter (even though speech is still highly manipulated through the "For You" feed + opaque payouts to influencers), but unless you pay/KYC, it's now a "read-only" medium.
I can't wait to stop using this "social network" as soon as enough people I care to read from will have made the switch to nostr as their main "free speech" outlet.
To make that happen, I believe we need to spend more time advertising and onboarding people there.
As nice perk, once much more non-bitcoin people will have made the switch, nsec management good practices would partly translate into private keys management good practices... after some of these people inevitably fall down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole.
