Kind of same here, but the deletion of the â‚ż hashtag was the petty thing that got me out. So pettiness on both parts, mine and fitter. I sometimes look back into Twitter and I feel uncomfortably different after reading a few threads, so try to not open the Twitter box at all.
Not sure where nostr will end up—so far it is a benign tool and the connections I have/threads I see aren’t bad. I think the best part are connections’ interests show up and make my experience of nostr and the world more broad.
Sure social media is similar across platforms, but the clean feeling of nostr’s lack of algo-manipulating posts give a different result.
Coming to your point, to follow the same influencers isn’t felt as necessary because the benefit is a different feel, and that’s refreshing. I’ve seen egos die on the #nostr vine. If others feel the same, that means nostr will not become a Twitter and is on track to be something else.
