I don't see the UK government actually banning twitterX, but it is a good opportunity to tell people to get a 'just in case' nostr account.
Tbh telling people to join nostr will involve a caveat ("it's not really ready yet, it's most people talking about the price of Bitcoin").
£67,629😜.
Oh that’s interesting, the price is slightly different now.
I rarely have to look at the price as someone always mentions it
what if you arrange for them to follow a specific set of people who don't talk about bitcoin?
3 people?
I believe there are many more than that, but even if it was 3 people that's still better than seeing a ton of spam, no?
No, you really do need better numbers, more breadth and depth of topics to retain people. Following 3 people is basically the same as just quitting all social media.
I don't believe there are only 3 people or even that "bitcoin price" is such a common topic as you say
just in a 1min look I've found a bunch of npubs who never talk about that

it's hard to do that on a phone but from these leads you can find at least 100 others
Oh but I'm being hyperbolic lol. You know what I mean.
Twitter still has the breadth and depth of topic / subcultures.
Nostr has Bitcoin, a bit of privacy, a bit of homesteading, meshtastic, as topics you can point to for any significant amount of depth/expertise.
Now, wait till there is a significant move in BTC price and tell me that nostr isn't a Bitcoin Tourettes Chatroom.
That's why it's the nicest here, when the price is down. 😂
X is bullshit. So is Tiktok, Facebook, instagram and anything owned by duo fantasticus and co... Musk Zucky co. To be honest Twitter was shit too... sorry 🤣✨️🥳💀
Yeah, I was never on the others, but I don't miss Twitter. That platform was mildly traumatizing, to be honest.
The shadowbanning, the subversive porn, the creeps, the reporting-crews, etc.
Agree with everything you say... I hated it... and feeding peoples followings with bits just to create them false sense of worth is what is worse for me on that place. They are spoiling minds of people and twisting values... I hate that place... I do go there from time to time to read and gather some news aaaand to troll Musk or one if the X celebs pointing out their hypocricy... 🤣✨️ just to vent a bit...
By the way me neither. I tried others for few days... saw its nonsense and left.
I am one of those characters that cant find place on any social media ... I find everything slightly bullshit... lol
👋 only architecture here!
I actually think NOSTR needs 2 forks. BTTR (Bitcoin talk, transmitted by relay) and OSTR (Other stuff transmitted by relay). Then people can just choose🥳.
It's called Bitcoin Tourettes Chatroom (BTC)
We lost 2 of them in the last couple of weeks.

Didn’t Elon really cuck out on the whole shpeel of free speech
An outright ban on X in the UK seems unlikely right now (no final decision has been made, and it’s still in the “urgent review” phase with Ofcom), but the government’s threats under the Online Safety Act are very real and escalating fast this week.
This is a perfect moment to nudge people toward censorship-resistant alternatives …
My point is to have a realistic take on the state of nostr and how to present it.
A 'just in case' nostr account for a very unlikely twitterX ban, is merely a way to get nostr known as a thing (most people have no idea what nostr is).
The idea is that many years down the line, if nostr ever grows beyond bitcointwitter2, people will be familiar with it. 'oh yes, I think I signed up to that a while ago' -type scenario.
It seems like a good strategy
GM. The price of Bitcoin.
You can tell them there are artists looking for ways to self monetize outside the gatekeeping bs of YouTube and the other fiat legacy platforms too.
Also a great place for independent journalists if they want to leak info on the grooming gangs, for example.
