the only reason to use twitter at this point is to dunk on normies and politicians in the replies.. btc twitter (90% of my twitter use) is here now

still checking in there occasionally but dont stick around long now
This November we had Nostrember or something like that, and I barely used Twitter maybe once or twice. I uninstalled it from my phone, definitely helped.
That would have been fun to participate in. Did everyone uninstall Twitter?I wish I would have stuck around more in October or November when #[2] was pushing me to use nostr. Oh well. I'm here now.
A lot of the devs and many OGs pledged #NostrNovember to not enter Twitter. It was very cool indeed. We should do that more often!
It was a challenge with all the news breaking about FTX in real time on Twitter, but going back and forth for that month helped keep the app around my phone.
Twitter is absolutely a great place to get news. We need some Bitcoin news accounts here. That's all the new I really care about.

this is an absolutely perfect place for the investigative journalists who've been cracking cases on twitter. I fully expect them to be the next group to arrive after the bitcoiners..
OH for sure. Add this relay: wss://rsslay.nostr.net
And then follow one of the pubkeys here: https://rsslay.nostr.net/
If you don’t find the RSS feed from your news source, add it :D
holy fucking shit!
🤯
that was basically my reaction as well. we don't need news orgs to join nostr. we can just add their feeds. done.
Can you read DMs on the client you are using?
yes ;)
Jumping in to note: I’m able to read DMs but not the notification that I’ve received them when notification settings are tuned on.
Astral has been buggy like this the past day for me. I see a notification that I have a new DM from someone, I check and the DM is blank or not there, but then about 60 seconds later I check and it's there.
My exact response!!! Twitter just died for me.
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is truly amazing. Thank you!
this is technically impressive. Not sure why I wouldn’t just choose a client that supports rss in my feed.
WOAH. This is so cool… is this your project?Double like 🤙🤙
Nope, Fiatjaf wrote it. Aljazeru hosts it now (same guy behind awesome-nostr GitHub repo)
Cool. I just love how freeing it is to actually build what we want in #nostr as opposed to waiting/hoping for our tech-media overlords to someday give us the crumbs of something that turns out to just be a very limited API.
Superb!!
wow i'm embarrassed i didn't know about this
You can add a rss relay for anything
Twitter accounts
Or anything else too
