I used to spend three hours a day on Twitter.
One year ago, I deleted my account.
Now I’m only on Nostr, and I spend maybe ten minutes a day scrolling.
The difference is extraordinary.
The noise is gone.
The manipulation is gone.
And when I leave, I don’t feel drained, I feel uplifted.
That’s when I realised something important:
the new system isn’t just technically superior.
It’s psychologically healthier.
But the real question is this:
how do we help people transition?
The answer is monetisation.
When creators can earn directly from their audiences, without platforms, advertisers, or banks, they will come.
When they come, they’ll bring their communities with them.
And when those audiences can earn by promoting what they love, the migration becomes inevitable.
That’s what Fanfares makes possible :
a media economy where the network itself becomes the discovery engine.
Every person who finds something valuable becomes a paid promoter of quality.
No algorithms. No ads. Just trust, consequence, and value flowing peer to peer.
Decentralised, open networks are not just better technology.
They’re the next phase of human communication.
They are where attention becomes aligned with meaning again,
and where we finally reclaim our time, our minds, and our freedom.

You did great job #nostr only
The peace that comes from being on nostr instead of Twitter is something else.

Thanks for sharing 🙏
I need this 🙂
That's the way, good job.
the truth is I hope that one day the fandoms will find a space in 'nostr', because many fans had to be migrating from page to page due to the changes that each page made at a certain time, I wonder if 'nostr' can help the problem that many have fans when sharing their works.
tumblr was abandoned because they banned nsfw content.
facebook the same but worse, it is increasingly difficult to upload memes because its algorithms are alerted too easily.
twitter, according to it, is freer but they reduced the reach of my publications for a simple comment.
We all censor our own experience on nostr, and by doing so we contribute to the web of trust of those with whom we are connected
Love it, realised I deleted my Twitter slightly over a year ago. Maybe spend more than 10 minutes a day, but every so often, what I write here actually means something to me, rather than me writing something then self censoring to prevent the rozzers turning up at my door at 1am in the morning.


My proudest badge of honour from my time on Twitter. 🫡🙌 fuck CSW!!! @Shortfiat


We are all Satoshi...
except Craig Wright!

@Shortfiat your post got me thinking, and the only way that makes sense is the then write, so I wrote this. 🫡🙌

Nostr and Bitcoin, or the Gulag?
Anything that can bring in more artists and creators is a good thing 🫡
Let them earn bitcoin
This will also mean that a bunch of people with "huge followings" will come here thinking their content has immense value, when in fact it dosn't 🧐👍🫡
There is a difference between knowing how to game the algo and creating real value
The real winner is a consciencous user who can sway their window into this and actually get value from it all rather than be spoon fed shit garbage endlessly.
As someone who never really interacted with the ragebait games being played elsewhere on social medias, despite its problems, inefficiencies and dangers (thinking it is much like the other social medias) Nostr is user empowerment.
I may not be here to curate, create or dispense anything of real value to others, but I agree with you, this place has keeps me coming back precisely because a lot of the people who aren't here to "create value" are exactly the ones creating it.
Totally agree! 👍🏻
Awesome. I have wen the extra mile and deleted all social media; Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok. I am more productive and my mental health has improved tremendously.
Good work!
Noticing how you feel is so valuable. I also remember when I’d get off X I’d often times just feel like dog shit.
I remember feeling that way. And yet still i wanted more!
Still can't get a working wallet that can send and receive zaps. Still need lots of work, but there's hope
Pls try Rizful.com
Try primal on mobile
I can get behind this. 🫡
We have the future before us!
This. Exactly this!
Nostr is your experience
I wish I would have deleted Twitter when you did.
I’m a noobie, only a few months in
You are still ahead of most of the world
Reading this makes me nostr bullish.
I feel the same way. Back on Twitter, I always felt like I was drowning in information. Now on Nostr, it's like breathing clean air again 😂. The pace here is slower, more free, and feels more like real conversations between people. It mirrors the lifestyle I cherish now—taking my Explorer Yacht fromhttps://www.yachttrading.com/yachts/explorer-yachts-for-sale/out to sea, where the water is serene and free from unnecessary noise. Sharing content occasionally, I even connect with like-minded souls. Compared to being pushed along by algorithms, this sense of controlling my own pace feels truly satisfying.
Clean air !!
#Nostr is the best.
Nostr is great
So far I have only blocked the X feed on my desktop. Never visit it on my phone anymore because I know how much it will drag me into doomerism
Yes I remember the room scrolling
That was a comedy typo!
My X algorithm has stated to drive me insane.
That make be in the programming
Have to agree. Still have some X accounts, rarely go on there. Many have been deplatformed, mainly for incorrect AI judgement and then we find out that their AI automatically rejects appeals.
The black box is unforgiving
This is why I came to #nostr

I remembered this
Just read “El éxodo del bitcoiner” by @npub15zp3...cthe — a sharp reflection on why the Bitcoin conversation feels quieter lately.
It connects Peter McCormack’s question “Where is your fight?” with the move of many Bitcoiners from Twitter to Nostr — and how, just like the U.S. left moving to Bluesky, that migration might have reduced the clash of ideas that once made Bitcoin culture so vibrant.
Even if you’re not fluent in Spanish, this one’s worth translating. It’s about how echo chambers — even well-intentioned ones — can dull a movement’s edge.

I deleted my account last week. All in.
Agree, been comparing the two recently. Twitter is way more addictive and Nostr provides way more value ⚡️
Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome
Most content creators monetize their advertisers, not their followers. With that premise it is not profitable for him to come to #nostr
Still 👀
That's why I deleted my tweeter...nostr is home 🏠
Good work!
There is nothing better than aligned incentives that result in better mental health and community connection 💜
#nostr rocks
This just prompted me to delete Twitter.
