Had a long conversation with my wife about this this morning.

X has been a life suck for me recently. So, I’m deleting it off my phone. I’ve felt the need to be connected to it to get out more diverse content and messaging around Bitcoin. But it’s severely impacting my mental health.

My next step is to delete my personal X account and take a step back from engaging with the community there. We’ll still have nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld account everywhere. I used to tell myself it’s letting Elon’s echo-chamber win if I take a step back, that I want people to see a different perspective with my account being visible there. But none of it fucking matters, nor is worth the negative impact it’s having on my mental health. It’s gotten pretty bad recently.

Thankfully nostr, whether it’s size, lack of rage algorithm, etc doesn’t make me feel that way at all. And also, I’ll have more time and attention to devote to real interactions, working on a nonprofit idea for bitcoin publishing, expanding more pods and supporting projects/communities with nostr:npub18jgxqshg38cgzcv43zvqhnc7hjn223psy2kkmkpqt2azd9thyy4sxjc5gt and more.

I came to the same conclusion yesterday. I’m on holiday with the fam and we try and not use our phones to much and be present in the holiday/company. I kept getting drawn back to twitter and doom scrolling. I decided to delete the app and have a break. So instead of complete cold turkey, I thought why not give Nostr another go and so far it’s been way more engaging and positive, also after a few mins I’m board and not dragged into all the mire of twitter. So all good.

I’m on your side.

Have a good day 😎
