Deleting your Twitter account can actually make a difference.
Every time someone opens a link or searches for an old thread in which you participated they will not see your tweets, the entire experience will be broken and they will hate Twitter for that.

They closed my account. I don't care anymore anyway...
Nostr only π«‘
Inspired by you and @ODELL, nostr only π«‘
When I switched to nostr the first thing I did was delete my Twitter account. Havenβt looked back. Iβm not sure how everything works here, Iβm a Gen X musician with no coding skills, but the spirit behind everyone here feels right. I feel like weβre all on the frontlines of the biggest war against humanity and all I can do is bang on a drum. π₯
Lieutenant Valeris: 400 years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes called sabots into the machines to stop them. Hence the word "sabotage."
Uhuru: We are experiencing technical malfunction. All backup systems inoperative.
Chekov: Excellent. Uh, I-I mean... too bad.

Nostr is great but it isn't 'there' yet. It's still a niche place for crypto aficionados.
This is only because Bitcoin has been a failure so far.
Harsh words. Failure or just on adoption curve?
Failure. Bitcoin was build for one purpose : Where are the middlemen ?
This is an attack on Bitcoin.
Leaving twitter = entering Galts Landing
Still, we have a few squatters here
never had a Twitter, but nostr has been quite the experience since I've joined.
What did twitter do?
Leave Elon's walled garden and take your goodies with you.
EXIT.pub is a tool by @pablof7z that allows you to import your Twitter tweets into nostr.

Keep a positive experience for those who seek out your tweets, and explain your reasons, and provide an offramp there to an onramp here.
Right. Also you need an account to see X content. You don't need it here
Good content belongs to Nostr, open and for all. See everything, and join only to participate.
Absolutely
But we should start ranking our nostr content and profiles.
Whenever my friends and family search for me online they should see my NPub instead of X or LinkedIn link.
This could be an effective strategy to advance Nostr.
God Knows Best.
Iβd rather spend energy making nostr better than making Twitter worse. π€·ββοΈ
I accomplish the same thing by just periodically nuking my old tweets. π
Great point that I hadn't considered before...
