I'm not brave enough to delete X yet, but last week, I went zero hours on the site. That's way down from a 20 hr per week addiction to the useless dopamine mine.

I have now deleted my Twitter account, and my medium account. All articles have been transferred to Nostr. I'm also done submitting with Bitcoin magazine for fairly obvious reasons.

Trying to channel my inner Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe) here- vote for and build the world you want to see in your actions.

Nostr has incredible potential. Within the very definition of that potential there is no free lunch. Expect to pay for relays to host content, for clients to deliver it to you, and zap for posts or content you want to see. It should incentivise others to host, deliver or create content. I need to do more of this, but as a start any zaps to my articles on Nostr have been set up to send half to the relays that host them.

Elon Musk continues to head down the wrong path in many of his actions to monetise Twitter. It is fairly clear that much of what ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) predicted is coming true. By layering in identity verification, he is seeking to extract ever more value from users information.

Nostr needs to benefit from what Taleb referred to as the intolerant minority - in this case those who vote with their feet and refuse to engage with the walled gardens of Facebook and X, etc - and instead bring their time, money and attention to Nostr.
