Happy birthday, Jack's kiddo. This is me and some marketer friends saying "twit" lol πŸ˜… when Twitter was 4 at a prelaunch party in LA as the social media buzz making team I got asked to assemble. My internet mom next to me left this plane some years ago image
In all of my explorations; the sweetest, most profound and mutually painful yet pleasurable experiences have been found within the deepest parts of curiosity, wonder, obsession, fascination and the ability to effect change even one small step at a time. Dedication of the Soul.
I created my Twitter account in 2008 (17 years ago), and it quickly became my only real "social media" presence. One highlight of mine on Twitter was tweeting about bitcoin in 2009, the first tweet on the platform with the word "cryptocurrency" (yes, Satoshi used it on the SourceForge page where the repo was originally hosted). After a couple of years, I decided to switch the account to pseudonymous since years before I had emigrated resolutely into anarcho-land, and was becoming more vocal with my radical (I use this term positively) views. Mainly, I didn't want to cause strain in meatspace relationships, nor unnecessarily draw the ire of state agents. Also, nyms are just cool. At some point in the past 6-8 years or so (pre-Covid) I started noticing less engagement across the board. People would tell me they couldn't see all of my posts or replies, and had to navigate directly to my profile to see anything. I was shadowbanned. My hunch with no proof is it was voicing my anti-voting opinions; I do this every election cycle, but 2016 was a particularly difficult one for the statists. Of course it could be even with my account longevity, having a nym handle and no phone # associated with my account tripped the algo eventually. Whatever the reason, I wasn't even that upset, since I couldn't care less about dopamine hits from follower counts or likes. What I do care about is disseminating ideas that strive toward truth. I spun up a npub in December 2023, essentially migrating my nym from Twitter which I wasn't using much by that point, anyway. After maybe less than I year, I decided to throw caution to the wind and created a meatspace account, a small window into the complex and strange ecosystem that is my psyche. A part of the Nostr dream for me, among many other things, is that heterodox thinkers – who live (and thrive) in the margins of polite, intellectual society – can't be silenced effectively, even when what they are saying might be uncomfortable to the status quo. I control my data, identity, and voice, not a corporation or state. The Ditigal Age is upon us. And while there are still dark storms in the distance, the horizon is slowly getting brighter. A new dawn is coming, and I'm here for it. #Nostr

Without Jobs, no one in the world would have used smartphones. Without Dorsey, there would be no current "rising" of social media, and Twitter would break the traditional media monopoly on "the right to speak" news and information. Anyone can express their opinions and ideas on social software.
I joined the bird site 18 years ago, and while it wasn't really anything exciting to me for the first few years, I had fun with some folks on there between 2011-2018-ish, then it started to drop off a cliff, even for the anarcho-liberty crowd I had somehow aligned and cavorted with. So I have no regrets, and if it wasn't for twitter, I'd have not likely shifted my views to anarchism/agorism online as easily as I did. Cheers to the old bird app, I wouldn't probably be on nostr had I not had you first πŸ¦πŸŽ‰ PS - I haven't really used it since September of last year, and I don't miss it, just maybe some of the humans I connected with, whom I'm trying to switch over to here.

Testing for this note… we made seven attempts to⚑zap this note, at evelin@getalby.com, over a period of 1 minute. All seven attempts were successful. Average zap time was 4407ms (4.4 seconds). We consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (Other Nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) We recommend you receive zaps with a well-connected, cloud-based Lightning node to maximize zap speed.
Congratulations @jack !!πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸ€It is truly remarkable how Twitter has fully bounced back. You made the right decision for Twitter darling. Now, Twitter is thriving and doing well. So is nostr, differently.πŸš€πŸ’œElon just raised *$1 BILLION* dollars for Twitter in just a few hours last week.
