I agree with this. I still left twitter because it was terrible for life balance. Because nostr is clunky, I don't use it much, but twitter hooks you in and consumes too much time and bandwith. I get enough info from the GGnG's slack server to stay up to date.

Tom Luongo has a valid point: "Don’t think for a second that Nostr or Truth Social or Gab are going to be anything other than digital ghettos that Davos and the ADL are happily opening up to you to retain your purity while limiting your voice even more than you could imagine. The battleground of ideas is where the normies are. They are on Twitter/X".
It is worth pursuing Nostr to make it grow? Sure. But leaving altogether the opportunity of being heard by the normies and fight for our ideas on X, is not a good option either. What's the point to express opinions no one hears anyway. One could also shout into the wind from the top of a Chinese mountain against Xi. No one will put you in jail. No one hears you anyway. That is Nostr today. It's ok to post pictures, good morning messages, promote some new book to the Bitcoin crowd, but it is not a battleground for free-speech.
