This is certainly my strategy. I'm all in for #nostr, I devote many hours to it. I think it is the future. But I will not divorce myself from twitter because, as #[4] said, it is the currently the most important on-line public forum.

I expect this will gradually change over time as people tire of the constraints and meddling that must accompany any forum controlled by a single entity. Musk has changed the "feel" of twitter vastly for the better; but twitter still chides me when I say something it doesn't like, and people are still being banned and muted. Twitter must eventually pass into irrelevance.

But this will not happen quickly. The transition will likely be asymptotic.

Nor will #nostr be the only free player in town. Nor do we want to to be. When (if?) the agents of repression come to shut us down, we'll want there to be many players with many different strategies.

>Agree with all of this but would love to see some balance. Twitter obviously still has the network and zeitgeist….and is the place to be when anything happens in the world. It is the most important host for the public conversation at the moment. And nearly 2 decades to work out many issues (and create more).

>Twitter will never have many of the freedoms nostr enables. Doesn’t matter who runs it. It’s the single point of failure of an organization/company versus a protocol. Don’t trust me on this. It will continue to play out over the years.
