Avoiding the threadbois

In my opinion #Nostr has real time feedback

Your coffee pics ☕️

I truly own my identity and can decide what I see.

Pure Bitcoin signal

Fly free, or be confined to a cage.

No contest.

I like the people, no algo to order content, everyone gets a voice

Just got tired of the nonsense arguments I saw all the time on Twitter as well as the attempted canceling of people for making jokes or just stating simple facts.

Because neurons that fire together - wire together. -- Hebb's Rule

The #Bitcoin intellectual Mecca is now here

I’m here and on Twitter

I’m banned on twitter but nostr has better vibes anyway.

#Nostr and decentralization of everything is important.

The people I want to hear from are here.

I don’t have to see shit ads.

In that order.

Twitter has a figure head.

Nostr doesn’t.

Twitter is toxic

Nostr is positive

#nostr #zap #btc

⚡️⚡️

For the simple fact of having freedom of expression and being free of censorship. Considering also that in this network there are extremely friendly people with common interests among other things.

Never had Twitter. I'm here because I'm a bitcoiner and I wanted to be with other bitcoiners. Or at least people that value freedom.

#decentralization in action

#BeOG #Bitcoin #Nostr

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qdergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsxpqqqqqqzxksrmk

The toxicity on Twitter was making my life worse, not better. I hadn't tried Nostr at that point, but it was the obvious choice to give it a try.

To be with bitcoiners and because I want too choose what is on my feed, and not see ads.

Because I NEVER used twatter

I've never had a Twitter account. It asked for an email address and phone number to sign up.

On #Nostr I only generated my nsec/npub key pair.

Twitter is super annoying to me. Same format tweets. Also rage. Too much rage.

Twitter warped my mind and made me into a nihilistic psychopath.

It's simple 😁😅🤙 ...

(and I never used Twitter btw)

Freedom

Diversity - here and there and everywhere

Decentralization

To keep the dream alive!

Twitter has way more of my overall network but the quality here is better and the decentralization is important. I want it to be bigger.

I don’t know why but I was fascinated at first sight 💜

Never was on twitter. Never felt drawn to it.

Freedom to build, the comminuty, owning my data 🤙

Elon is a shitcoiner.

I quit Twitter 2 years ago. Because he did not allow me to freely curse the dictatorship. I've been waiting for a new platform for 2 years. The platform where I feel the most free.. Even if I have a language problem 😊 💙🫶

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczyphydppzm7m554ecwq4gsgaek2qk32atse2l4t9ks57dpms4mmhfxqcyqqqqqqgn7cxpu

Here for the signal.

nostr:note15l2f3pkluqgzcp3u6kf0vflfpxy7a5usu3qsc00mtdgweydd59mqhrup2u

I’m still on both…for now..

Purple bird - Friendly, fun, nourishing, relaxing, collaborative. Also, this is the future, self-custody, decentralization, free speech ftw

Blue bird - War zone vibe, yet still interesting discussion and learning every day. Also, plenty noobs to orange pill there and Spaces have more participation than Nests at this point. I always plug Nostr when #[2]​ and I run our Bitcoin4Beginners spaces. Will go back to running simultaneously there and on Nests, but I need a better setup to do that easily.

(Over there >> Gotta click back to ‘Following’ feed every time one logs in to avoid the heavy, manipulative ’For You’ algo.)

I‘ve never been on 🐥

Because my D!¢& won't fit.

Trying to find signal

Less BS. Zaps. It's exciting to be a part of a relatively small but growing community. The amazing dev community that are building cool things at an incredible pace.

But mostly because I don't feel like I was thrown into the coliseum and expected to fight to the death.

Tired of being the product on Twitter

Nostr is much better:

-no ads

-no CEO

-censorship resistant network

-lightning fully integrated

So many

After expressing my dissenting opinions I was put in read only mode. My interactions in life don’t have time to play games about being approved by mainstream society for my life to exist. Even if my (or other peoples opinions) are opinions I don’t like, They need to exist, Because tolerance is a crucial aspect of being a mature adult. People can not just pretend things don’t exist or treat people invalid to get their way and at the same time be honest with themselves. I am not talking to 5 year old children in the internet, I am not traumatizing people intentionally, I am just saying what I fucking feel honestly and If a computer algorithm can not handle that I probably should not waste my time on it (twitter). Information wants to be free.

This is a new one. I'm curious about it. What do you think of it here?

Das Gefühl bei:

Twitter = Regional Bahn 😬

Nostr = ICE 💜

Hier begegnet man nur liebevolle und wundervolle Menschen…

Ich hoffe das es hier noch sehr lange so bleibt. ✌🏻

I never set up an account on twitter and I want to delete my FB account since a long time now :P

No hottest 18 year olds on OnlyFans

Twitter suspended me for my below response. Twitter said I could come back when I delete my response. My appeal was 'reviewed' and denied in a total span of 6 minutes from time of submission.

This whole experience made me realize how much Twitter is manipulating users' mindsets and perspectives. I'd rather receive no information than support that propaganda machine.

i like to be zappid

Mostly because the content is better.

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycrqsqqqqqpxyltfr

They found out my parents were still married....

Twitter shut down their API after Elon sunk in. So my ad free Twitter App did not work anymore. Now on nostr & as happy as before.

Both.

Mostly because there aren't a lot of idiot influencers trying to mislead people to their own benefit. Less hateful speech. Less bots. Less scams. ...

I believe in Nostr. (I’m in twitter as well)

Because Twitter is a shitcoin

It’s annoying with ads and rage inducing with its algos.

To do this 🌎 🕺💃

To be a part of an awesome community.

The bots on here are so much better 😆

I don't have to pay to be considered by the algorithm, I can give my money to people who deserve it. ⚡⚡⚡

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpzemhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgq3qdergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsxpqqqqqqzxtj76c

Fuck Twitter

Fuck Big Tech.

I like the freedom to be me, warts and all. And nostriches get Bitcoin too 🤙

I'm a Bitcoiner, is it not obvious? 😉

Because it's exciting to see apps being born & be able to give inputs and feedback on the app using the app itself.

Also

1. Most users here are not too quick to judge (this can & probably will change )& there's less chances of being mistaken when there's no word limit curtailing context.

2. Self-curation is great, though discovery is a bit limited

3. Has fun bots like nostr:npub1qchantk7w04e4kwp4lt078cm4gk84d9qaxymakg9kyx85mppy8dqneyzjs & @dave

I'm not mad at Twitter as they've chosen their strategy given their beliefs but I found the TL curation to be worse than before for me.

I'm here pregaming the endless free speech humanity liberation party.

no ads, no algorithm, no unnecessarily angry people yelling at each other

Here for the vibe and saving toxicity for twitter. When I need to dump toxicity, I go to Twitter.

No censorship, no shadowbanning and not propagating some posts over other.

If you sum it up, it's basically all different kind of censorship that is not present here.

Because Nostr is the first and only protocol protecting the digital fundamental right(1).

Because most of Nostr people want to change the world for good.

Because Nostr together with most of Nostr people, can change the world for good.

(1) The digital fundamental right protects existence (self sovereign identity), attention, data, intentions (the Internet economy fuel) and off-line life. Constitutional amendment proposal, 2004, Costa Rican Congress, #15890

I have twitter account, but I've never tweeted. Previously i used facebook for years, til I became a privacy fanatic and paranoid)

Originally I wanted to see the #nostr technology and protocol. And finally I've found a vivid community. So I'm here now - and can keep my privacy more or less, and happy with the free speech, thanks to this technology 👍 #ilovenostr 🙃

To do this

nostr:note1spcry3cjmq2w88y4yrkan89pcpajuk3wjjrdkf86w8v2srx3xz2qdssfyk

Came for the censorship resistant communications, stayed for the 'Other Stuff'

💜🤙🫂

To build a following while it’s still small haha.

And post about #Bitcoin

And freedom and whatnot

Best place to ask knowledgeable bitcoiners for advice

I feel free here, twitter is not safe yet… here the wef can try their games but will eventually fail…

I never was on twitter or anything like that... 😉

But nostr, why not?

I believe in voting with my money, my time and my attention/data. Nostr has a better value proposition than other options; I value freedom of speech and freedom to transact, and Nostr reflects my values.

Rise of the sovereign individual

Openness and core principles resonate abound

Trying to cut back on being addicted to hate.

It feels like early twitter

Because I deleted my twitter account

I got a divorce

BCS here is it more secure and this project is made in Czech republic

Peace of mind.

for me the answer is simple because of you and free speech 💜🫂

It feels more chaotic and random here but in a good way, like walking into a theater in the middle of a weird movie. Twitter is like sitting down and watching the trailers, waiting for the movie to start

Twitter is just not my vibe

im on both, but like nostr better

Freedom

I found my people

Evolution, not revolution

Because I care about my daughter, family and all of humanity. This is another branch of freedom and when we start linking these freedom branches together we have a chance. ✌️

Deleted my account already and all the good vibes are here. PV ⚡️🤙

I want to see it all and make my own choices about how to curate my feed.

I want to participate in a community where people default to support, positivity, optimism, and critical thinking. Not one where thoughtless people fight over their preprogrammed positions.

I value censorship-resistance.

I value value for value.

I believe in grass roots technological advancement, not publicly-held corporate LARPing.

#Nostr is going to win.

There is no second best.

Good source of signal, and Twitter made my account read-only when I wouldn't give them my cell phone number.

Because here I can be my true self and meet other likeminded frens, the frens I’ve made here are unlike the frens I’ve made ANYWHERE on the internet before.. & I’ve been apart of many communities.

But what we have here is insanely high signal & pure love 🫂

no KYC here!

algo and advert free

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqmjxss3dld622uu8q25gywum9qtg4w4cv4064jmg20xsac2aam5nqvzqqqqqqyphtzjq

I’m here cause it’s home.

Choice, freedom, and all you awesome plebs 💜🫂 Oh, and bitcoin, I've learned so much in 4 months🧡

True people and not scam bots ⚡️

You told to remove it. done right away and I never went back. 🧡🫡

Wow Gigi they all came out of the woodwork to answer that one I'm here cause here its like family on whereas on Twitter you feel isolated nobody listens to ya. Shitter can go to hell in a hand basket. Love all the #Nostrplebs see you tonight at the weekly Friday night #Zapathon 10pm sharp be there or be square 5pm eastern in the US of A ✌️🫂

I support decentralised protocols and applications for the good of humanity

Twitter? Never heard of it. 😂

In all seriousness Twitter has become toxic and more of a stress inducing experience. While nostr is way more enjoyable to share ideas and grow something much more open and algorithm free.

Because Twitter is worthless anymore

Network design and authentic culture

Simply put, building.

I like to build. While I may not be a full fledged software developer, Nostr allowed me to build both some basic services for the community and to help build the actual community too. I love marketing and advertising. I love community building. I love relationship management. I used to be a former entrepreneur and loved doing the relationship building as much as the technical work. I miss that. Nostr allows me to get the best of both of these words and get back into doing things that I love.

I feel twitter as social media has saturated. I am looking for a fresh start and new perspective to how people engage with each other.

More freedom, more ‚friends‘.

I don't like being told what to do, what to like, what to say, and what to believe.

I love people, not algos.

I love uniqueness, not conformity.

I love dreaming, not sleeping.

I will never be wealthy/powerful enough to speak my mind without fear of retribution.

In the end, freedom of speech is my only weapon.

Because of "higher altitude" Karen

Nostr is a total throwback to what so many of us all used to LOVE about the internet when we were growing up with it - real connection, fun innovations and most of all, meeting like minded people with similar interests.

Twitter, and the other mega-social media corps are all closed systems that all decided to forego the best parts of connecting... instead to prey off our wants, desires and insecurities, feed us siloed conversations and connections and sell us Ads. They commodified an experience at its own detriment.

Nostr and open source pushes are fundamental to equal opportunity, freedom and critical thought.

#Libertad #NetNeutrality #FOSS #Cypherpunk #Bitcoin

Só Deus sabe por que eu fasso qualquer coisa ou vou para algum lugar

Why are you on both, Herr Gigi?

Serendipity! I lost my phone and went cold turkey. Not going back. Please encourage valuable twitter follows to post to Nostr and refuse to feed the AI data funnel known as siloed social media.

Elon Musk’s Twitter property is really no different than Donald Trump’s Truth Social property at this point.

On both, but the energy and pace of development on #nostr is ballistically more exciting than Twitter and I'm spending time 💊🟣 as many people as possible there.

Native #bitcoin nano thru large payments built into the protocol is one of the most powerful things about it and between the twtr like clients and things like https://highlighter.com, https://habla.news and Nests I think we're witnessing the next sea change in how things are going to be in cyberspace.

I can't imagine NOT being here and backing it as hard and in as many ways as I can as well as loving the vibes 💜⚡🤙

Because we are witnessing the birth of a new protocol as significant as SMTP. This is a new topology and this brings power to each user. I can post things, you can do whatever you want with it. Freedom at both ends.

because in twitter there is so much fucking noise and much fake polarization

Freedom

Here to say,

Honk, honk!

without being thrown in the gulag

I scroll and laugh. Not scroll and dread.

nostr:nevent1qqspl456etvtpxrw6yuvxe59h26l9m6mcyjdzuydvfmwcld58ckcg4cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygrwg6zz9hahfftnsup23q3mnv5pdz46hpj4l2ktdpfu6rhpthhwjvpsgqqqqqqs7udhvl

Because of twitter xD

smells like freedom fries here and i'm lovin' it 🍟

Twitter cant decide what its supposed to be and Nostr did.

I also dont like spending time around censors and the perpetually fragile.

here are gm

I was on twitter and now here

Because most of the users refuse to "eat the bugs".

The future has to be decentralised.

twitter experience is kind of a downer lately. more signal and enthusiasm here

I prefer calm over chaos.

I stopped using twitter, the last straw was the doge logo that Elon stuck there for a while 🤦‍♂️

Kinda happened organically. Didnt even try to leave twitter.

The place to be is the place to be. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Seems like the future of the internet

No barrier to entry

I don't like Twitter

Twitter wanted my phone number

Twitter is adversarial whilst Nostr is familial.

I was never on Twitter, but I watched from afar as people got plucked out of that platform for sitting outside of the Overton Window which moves every week. Also, the character limit has a stifling effect which just leads to faithless drive-by posting and I saw this salty culture bleed into the Discord servers I'm in.

Nostr is a salve. It confers agency unto its users by allowing anyone to build on it and choose relays for whatever features they want. Over here, people can opt in to algorithms instead of being forcibly funnelled through them, and I find that self-sufficiency helps people be more kind to each other. Also, value-for-value is a potent antidote for shitfluencer culture, far less clout-chasing here. We are sovereign, not sheep, and the users drive the discussion. This platform belongs to all of us, like a true public square. I love the ride-or-die Nostriches here 😊🧡💜

I was permanently banned from twitter which was a blessing in disguise because it led me here. I feel the love. 🥰

just seen that tweet on twitter and came over!

Nice try, Fed

New and exciting.

Got banned for literally nothing and also was tired of the attention seeking behaviors and privacy violations

Who cares about twiter anymore, time to move on, that’s what I say

Decentralization and identity self custody.

I like the cypherpunk vibe.

Good question. I mean you are very active here but besides that there is very little content at Nostr since many Bitcoiner (OGs) only brag about Nostr but than are mostly posting on Twitter as usual

because this is #lamondastr 😎🧙‍♂️⛈️

Uncensored

Decentralised

Fun, exciting, helpful people.

Perma ban for not providing a copy of my driver's license. Pretty much just a glitch in the matrix and I lost all my posts and contacts. This is the nature of all services that control your data and social network, there is a good chance you will lose it just because.

Here I follow real-time Bitcoin and Nostr news and developments.

That affects more than this new technology, it involves many other areas in life. Thankful for this community and movement. Being part of the startup as a user is exciting.

i'm using both. But I like this better..

Just for your content.

And the resistance.

Intrigued by a few of the responses from your twitter counter-thread: the reason some are on twitter is their want for arguing with others.

For the censorship resistance and sole ownership of my account.

To learn
