Your rant from ~18min-~20min mark was GOLD in that podcast this week with HODL and Marty

There's a striking difference between X & Nostr.
X had an addictive element, probably due to the algorithm. Tweets seem to go into the ether unless you have a sizeable following or get retweeted by someone who has.
Nostr feels quieter for sure and its taken me a while to get my head into it but mostly to push past that lack of algorithmic stimulus.
Much like Bitcoin there's a certain proof of work element and you get out what you put in. The discussions and insights I've gained here are second to none. They are authentic and stimulating in a good way - ethnically & spirituality.
There's less hate and more hope.
Refreshing.

And there is more proof of work.
Yes, correct
I try to avoid Twitter tbh
Our attention is our greatest resource
The capital allocation decision of our day
And the value I get out of Nostr each day genuinely enriches me
People care
They respond with respect and value
The sharing of opinions, view points, experience
Much like what meeting in person is actually like
Never been more bullish on Nostr
Nostr's not exactly pristine. We got Nazis/socialists in one corner and Ortho Bros in another, and they pick fights constantly if you look for it, though unfortunately not with each other.
On Nostr, you get what you're looking for and what you accept.
I don't accept you blaming me for other people's behavior. Why am I still getting it?
No chance youβre going around picking fights? In a year of being on Nostr you were the first person to βpick a fightβ with me a few days ago.
Defending another person is not picking a fight. They chose not to fight back, so someone else had to. Since I was the random person to see it, it was my job to do it.
A dead man didnβt show up on Nostr to defend himself so you had to? You didnβt defend anything or anyone. You made baseless claims, refused to back your claims, accused me of judging you, called my religion trash, then ran. Picking a fight then loosing doesnβt mean the other person picked the fight.
False, all of it. But it appears fate doesn't want you corrected at this time. I wrote a long response, then tried editing it, but hit the "request deletion" instead.
Keep picking fights, ortho bro.
Are you trolling? Everything I stated about our interaction is absolutely true, the notes are still there, and you still havenβt backed a single one of your claims. Iβm out π«‘
Go reread it then. Pretend you're not you.
I'll say it again - I don't owe you anything. You don't get to have any of my work. That's not how this works. And calling a person a "dead man" does not make it okay attack him.
Some guy on tiktok was talking about twitter and he said "so twitter is in PvP mode now, the algorithm will only show you people you disagree with"
And I went on twitter yesterday, the first time in weeks looking for a source for something.
Anyway, I decided to scroll and my feed was literally all pro Israel and pro core 30 and a shitload of gaslighting and propaganda from the Australian government and all the pedophiles praising Donald Trump.
And like, that was my entire feed.
Just those 4 things, all of it aimed at getting me to react and waste time on their platform arguing with people.
Pretty much the same thing that Facebook has been doing for a couple years now
Not at all:
it just shows that high IQ people (who have moved to NOSTR because theyβre early adopters) are nicer

Tried Twitter for two months. It was damaging my brain. Deleted it. Now Iβm mentally ill at the state of the world on my own terms lol.
I was just telling a couple friends of mine the same thing. I've enjoyed nostr and am thinking about leaving X entirely.
Welcome to the fledgling birth of Bitcoin freedom culture of honor and love.

It's toxic, as simple as that.
People for the most part want to feel safe. They feel that way by showing respect because they have an expectation it will be reciprocated. Its actually crazy how much has changed. The medicine is freedom and an open internet. The snake oil is censorship.
π₯π₯π«Άπ»π«Άπ»ππ»
You know come to think of it, Iβm never stressed on Nostr whereas on X Iβm always telling myself; let it be, itβs not worth it to every ragebait
NOSTR as a philanthropic engine. A dream?
You do seem very angry when Iβve heard you speakβ¦
Maybe ditch the program? It only remains because people using it, stop using it and it magically disappears.
Weβre gonna win
And we're winning now.

That's a nice take :)
If I am ever feeling good about the world and decide I need some anger and hate in my life, I go and fire up the old Xitter for a couple of minutes.
Or because people on Nostr only talks about things that don't really matter that much.
On X, they major in minors that people think matter.
On Nostr, we major in meaning others on X don't realize are significant.
Make a few posts about the renewable energy piece of βresearchβ and itβs all I see in the feed. But then, limit my rage bate reading to when Iβm in a fiat mine and already annoyed. π«‘π
Especially when we've decided we want good for humanity.
Agree.. Xitter amplifies outrage, Nostr amplifies authenticity.
When you remove the algorithmic manipulation, you see that most people are actually kind, curious, and creative. Humanity isnβt broken, the algorithms are.
Depression high and dopamine fried every time I go on X
I can't believe this stupid Nostr echo chamber. Erik Cason the fucking ultimate toxic pleb has put flowers in his hair and is giving free hugs.
All the while Coretards have turned Bitcoin into free cloud storage for spammers. And we are all fine here and it's Xitters fault that people are 'ragebaiting'. GFY Erik!!!
At least people at Xitter are willing to stand up and to fight for Bitcoin.
Have a nice nap here!!!

Yes, thata why i deleted X and now i am only on nostr.
Hello, care to chat?
I go on there and itβs just death and hatred
Nostr is the way
Nostr is pure signal. Love the vibes. Everyone can agree to disagree and be in harmony.
Iβve left twitter for about a year now. I reacted in depth to something concerning my profession wherein I have 20 years experience. The amount of hate I received just for raising a critical view was unbelievable.
