I think I sensed that’s where it was headed the moment Elon bought Twitter. I saw the move from censorship to hyper-noise algorithm for what it was. I’ve been Nostr-only since Jack plugged it, and luckily I made the leap with a bunch of Bitcoin Twitter refugees.
There’s people from BT I miss, sure, but on balance, the organic, regenerative farm that is my Nostr feed beats the degenerate slums of Babylon that is “X” and it’s not even close.

Yeah I got back on X maybe 8 months ago after a year off, and it’s honestly like I started smoking cigarettes again.
I think I’ll be satisfied scrolling, I finish scrolling and feel like shit, and wonder why i scrolled and will do better not to scroll.
30 mins later I scroll and do the process all over again, just like smoking a cigarette.
It might be time to quit…again. Sigh.
It's particularly bad when you run into a topic you feel strongly about and it sends you viewpoints specifically designed to infuriate you.
Nostr is a much better experience. But the thing I worry about it is, if most people are on twitter, but the bitcoiners are on nostr, then we're not reaching as many people as before.
