1. Who gives a fuck about Twitter

2. Twitter's failure to be a public square where everybody could freely express their opinion predates Elon's acquisition by several years

3. People here, right here on the Nostr itself, continuously complain about spam and bots. They often propose things like

a) Payed relays (supposedly to pass on to them the responsibility to filter and block spam/bots)

b) Proof of work to be allowed to write

which have an effect identical to paying a subscription, in addition to:

c) Client-level hardcoded censorship

d) Relay-level hardcoded censorship

There is also the consideration that Elon needs to make Twitter profitable. I think this is only a secondary goal of the new subscription model. But in any case, how often do we here people on the Nostr complain that they can't make money off it?

a) Relays should be paid

b) Content hidden behind zap paywalls

c) Constant bitching that people don't engage in zapping

Let's criticize Twitter in and because of itself and because the Nostr simply offers a better way. But let's not be hypocrites. nostr:note1ykgf8aycxesccwdmrklm8s7ah4v0azu7jgaskswng89lt08f4c7qqls2s0
