**Claim for Debate:**

Having Twitter is not culturally wrong for nostr users, but it serves as a trojan horse for increasing non-bitcoin and non-nostr fanatic users.

**Original Post:**

There is no cultural-wrong in having Twitter if you're a nostr, it just depends on 'what for?'

I have a twitter account for nostr:npub17jl3ldd6305rnacvwvchx03snauqsg4nz8mruq0emj9thdpglr2sst825x for marketing purposes, and because of it, there are now more nostr users that are not bitcoin and nostr fanatics x3

Basically: A trojan horse.

Twitter has always been a tool, not a ideology. For Nostr users, using it doesn't make us wrong — it’s just another platform. But here's the thing: it's not neutral. It's designed to pull you in, to keep you scrolling, to make you care about the wrong things. It's a trojan horse — not because it's evil, but because it's so good at what it does. It's like using a hammer to build a house — it's useful, but if you don’t know what you're building, it can end up being a tool for something else. Nostr users are smart. We know the value of staying decentralized, but we also know that using Twitter can slowly shift our focus. It's not about being against Twitter — it's about being aware of how it can shape our priorities. That’s the nuance.
