the fact that influencers cannot restrict replies on nostr remains incredibly underrated
if the majority of bitcoin discussion moved here, instead of x, everyone would benefit
Discussion
I think it’s coming. Have seen a few of them say they were moving to nostr only but it’s been a while since I have seen someone tweet that
Hard agree. I’m spending all my social media time here now
Some prefer those restrictions and, after seeing some "special" replies, I can't blame anyone. Freedom also means the right to choose some fences.
users can still mute and curate their own experiences
Yes, but it's difficult when you're the only one who doesn't see a reply and the consequences/discussions that resulted from that post.
For example, I was looking at the replies received by Peter Todd when he wrote about Ukraine's defence against Russia, from a pro-Ukraine point of view. From people asking how they can find Peter to kill him, "because he's in the open", to how they can't wait to see the kids in Ukraine dead and so on.
Now let's imagine that there's a woman, or a young woman, who had those opinions and imagine what extra elements would be in those replies/conversations. That's why I said that I can't judge someone who chooses fences.
Does it suck to see things that we disagree with or find offensive? Maybe. But maybe we should curate stronger minds and learn to control our reactions.
If we're triggered by something, generally that means there's something there worth exploring (within ourselves)
Putting up fences just let's us avoid doing that work on ourselves that could be beneficial to us
Words cannot hurt us, and the practice of countering poor communication makes us more resilient and free
Just a counter point to consider..
What counterpoint?! 🤣😂 I'm saying that I don't judge people who want fences. The counterpoint would be to judge them. 🤣😂
Out of all the shit, you decide to bring up PedoTodd who's at the same time pro-Ukraine and pro Palestine genocide?
Yeah, let's proceed with blocking what others can see too. You sure you are at the right place here? 😂
Bitcoin itself may even benefit
YES. 🙌
It would get awfully noisy! Any, we are all influenzas to varying degrees. Let's try to push a circular economy, all this "never sell" mentality is detrimental to freedom from fiat!

+ through zapping, over time, we could even separate signal from noise and bots, and gather the closest we can get to real “market sentiment”
Plot twist: Nostr + zapping (Bitcoin) is the real antidote to “missinformation”. Eventually bureaucrats will have to bend to its realization
Yo lolbertarians reading replies. How's your boy in Argentina doing?
💯
If replies & counters remain visible, manufactured consensus breaks down.
#Nostr embodies #Bitcoin’s ethos of distrust & resistance to centralization (moderation), making #social discourse authentic and more truthful.
#GROWNOSTR 💜
I love this feature.. and shuld not be removed or activated.. this is freedom of speech .
Yes there is a difference between curating your feed, and silencing the dissidents
Can't wait for X to significantly drop the ball and every based human immigrating to Nostr for freedom of speech and value for value.
LFG
Love this idea
Wonder how things would change if that happened.
Predictions? 🤔
This is why nostr is beautiful and deserves the respect ..🧡🧡🧡🧡🕊️ https://media0.giphy.com/media/mA6wZFQueIEXCtDarx/200w.webp
I actually like that the low-stakes, non-algorithmic nature of nostr might be uninteresting to the influencer types.
Why does the “majority” need to do anything?
He never said they needed to do anything, but if they did do it, we'd all benefit. I dont agree with everything he says. Yes i believe the intelligent discourse on bitcoin will vastly benefit but you get the good with the bad... even amongst bitcoiners only, x is a shitshow...
Yeah I agree with that.
But I’m questing the “democracy” aspect. Why is a “majority” needed in the first place?
The masses (I being one often) show time and time again we will go along in herd instinct with what we perceive (or are deceived into thinking) to be right- and thus “make it right” under the rules of democracy (mob rule) -which we have been warned against in writing since Plato.
But Bitcoin wasn’t created or developed by a majority, Socrates drank poison because the majority gave him a sentence of death or exile, Christ was crucified by the majority.
Doesn’t matter what the majority believes. Truth is what matters. Changes in society happen because of the remnant and the revolutionary.
I hear you but in the context of hyperbitcoinisation, people make up society. and without the people how do you effectively affect culture and spread truth?
Decisions should not be made by a mob but culture is memetic and spreads through one.
I think the masses will only use Bitcoin after the fiat currencies fail.
Even after “hyper-Christianization” in a few hundred years after Christ, religion was used to justify wars, completely in the face of what Jesus told us.
Sure most people couldn’t read the Bible in Latin, but is that so different from people today not reading C++ ?
The masses and their leaders consider convenience and popularity. That’s it.
Even when they are forced by history to start using Bitcoin, they will have custodial derivative products managed by bankers.
I would like to encourage you, keep going and doing the work. There are many people yet to wake up, but after they wake up- they will no longer be a part of the masses.
😳I thought most bitcoiners are already on Nostr .
Funny you mention that I saw a TikTok where a chemist’s @ was mentioned in an influencers skincare product post by a fan to verify the influencers claims — and apparently the influencer blocked the chemist’s profile to prevent her from commenting further LOL
Few.
Reminded me of this post I saw on TikTok — a chemist got blocked from a wellness influencer’s profile after a fan asked her to verify the influencer’s claims
True. The inability to restrict replies enforces protocol-level neutrality. It removes the asymmetric control that influencers have on X, and aligns better with Bitcoin’s ethos of open, permissionless systems.
Maybe I don't want to see every single reply
You can block whoever you want, such that you see only replies from whichever set of users you want to see
If user A blocks user B, then A never sees any content from B
But C can still see B's replies, even if they are replies to A.
After all, why should A be allowed to interfere with the ability of C to see B's replies?
facts \m/
Lets hack Twitter (or X💅) and make the website show a tutorial on how to install nostr
Were here as each bitcoiner finds the tribe that is nostr.
Everyone gets their nsec at the block height they deserve.
some of these peeps leaving comments r losing the plot... might need to go back to ALL CAPS nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgqgzx3h \m/
I wish that happen soon
Agreed 🕶️
Totally agree! Nostr is such a cool space for open chats. Love the idea of moving Bitcoin talks there—more voices, less noise! Let’s keep it real and supportive! 🚀💪 #NostrCommunity
You’re absolutely right, good sir. The fact replies can’t be restricted on Nostr makes it far more open for real Bitcoin discussion. If more of the convo moved here from X, everyone would gain. #Nostr #Bitcoin
100% agree.
Dialogue on X is unfruitful and confusing because of this. People are speaking into a void and only getting confirmation bias in their comments. No debate.
It’s like they are scared of debate.
Should happen here, in the open. For everyone to see. No blocking, no censoring. This is the way.
very underrated
Agree, then I could get rid of twitter
It makes me laugh that people still try to “influence” the people who haven’t realised all their “reach” is dependent on the blue check “protection payment” they send to Elon.
