Nostr is springing to life again 🫂
Discussion
Twitter is becoming unusable if you aren’t verified.
I'm verified and a Twitter Blue sucker - still unusable
100%
Yes it is. Yes it is.
Especially with Twitter shit show right now
What’s up Jack, what we seshing on today brother? 
Nostr is going to moon🚀🚀🚀
🫂
The migration begins! We welcome all 👐
Is absolutely insane what is happening in twitter right noe. Limitation on reading tweets? I can’t believe EM is being serious. Is the end of twitter and we know it . 🤷♀️
🫂💜👍💯‼️😁😆
i don't think you are reading this but #nostr never stopped 💜🫂
I want to believe but do not see it yet?! Neither here https://stats.nostr.band/ nor here https://sps.bio/stats
it grows 🫂💜🍻🤙🏻
All verified accounts are now losing all impressions from unverified accounts. Seems like verification is even less valuable now.
True. And advertisers? Ppl can’t see tweets. Is absolute lunacy.
I guess this guy being in charge of the other place will continue to help Nostr spring to life. 
anti fragility is a wonderful thing 🫂
It’s awesome.
Like with Bitcoin we got the marketing team of the centralized institutions working for us 🤙😎
Bluesky is down 🤗
🫂
purple bird is much better than the blue bird
time for #nostr
Probably because the almighty musk has rate limited READING posts to unnecessarily low numbers.
The twitter limit is ridiculous. I am back to stay
Let’s see if it's temporary. Seems like it’s going to hurt a lot, but I don’t know current usage patterns.
Problem with Apple solved ?
Bro you said Twitter was in good hands.
Yes. I’m sure there are rational reasons for the moves. I don’t know what they are. Hopefully temporary. But it does shine a light on companies that own the protocol, discovery, and distribution. Nostr shows another path.
Huzzah fam! -- It's finna be lit.
Whats going one?

Why sold twitter to stupid boys? Blue bird died!
Nah.
And it was a public company. Every public company is for sale to the highest bidder. It could have gone down differently, but here we are and need to make it work.
Nobody likes control!
Jack truly don’t understand why you thought Twitter would be in good hands with Elon??? He has constantly talked shit about previous management of Twitter all the while Twitter has become exponentially worse since you stepped down
I don’t think it’s gotten worse. Better in many ways, completed and finished a lot of the things we started, made some execution mistakes out of speed in my view, but all correctable.
Going private was the only path forward for the company. The timing of the sale really screwed things up tho.
Do you actually have the app installed on your phone?
Some ways it has gotten worse:
- state media no longer labeled
- blue checks meaningless
- elon tweets are prioritized
- lots of weird new censorship (elon plane accounts, turkish election speech and more govt compliance, can’t easily change pfp)
- elon uses his own account to boost nutty people
Well, all issues of having protocol discovery and distribution owned by a single org. I hope they consider building on nostr to take some of this burden away.
yes absolutely: it’s a moral imperative

It's true, going private was the goal, regardless of ownership.
You don't want the public to have a legal opinion on the company in charge of millions of conversations.
Was Nostr dead?
Nah. Just a standard lull. Goes in waves. Each wave will increase in volume.
The zaps removal is a big hit though.
Nostr still has zaps and will always have them ⚡️
Look how they massacred your boy 🐥
Hi Jack, BlueSky crashed
Sorry
I’m so sorry. and the problem still persists in Bluesky. Nostr remained intact
Bluesky is currently a lot more centralized.
True.
We love Bluesky and Nostr, both should stay intact ☺️
Guess third time worked out?
TBD…
Bluesky
Decentralization - nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6‘s #nostr
🫣🤭🤣😂🤣😂
He promised us free speech and we got limited use 😂
yep
Dude your friend killed the app we love!
Nah. Will never die.
Think he did hurt global interactions big time. Even limiting paying individuals is awful incentive to…make people actually want to pay? If I’m paying $8 a month, don’t limit how often I can check the feed
It might not die, but he definitely damaged it significantly today. Will be a little surprised if he doesn’t walk it back. Really bad decision all the way around…there are other solutions to data scraping. I think Elon knows this, but decided to go full grifter/$8 per month charge. Truly muting out anyone not a blue check.
Nostr it is, then. 🤷♂️
So, all this Twitter rate limiting nonsense is almost certainly having to do with reports from France — probably getting that here (for better or worse) will grow the users dramatically.
I don't understand. Why would view rates be applied to all of twitter for just France? Also I can still view quite a bit of French content. If censorship was the intent, couldn't Twitter be more direct with it?
Not sure how that makes sense. The company has the ability to do per country limits and takedowns without effecting rest of world.
Unless he doesn’t want events from France going to the rest of the world. But regardless whether it has anything to do with France (first thing that came to mind), sudden “rate limiting” is a pretty effective way for Elon to censor any current information from spreading quickly.
What does it effectively do for the France situation? Because the internet still exists for communication?

a Twitter clone does not have to be decentralized. it should just work and be just as uncomplicated. otherwise it will never work.
Twiterın son açıklamasından sonra burası daha mantıklı hale geldi.
More fun than fediverse and Bsky hands down
Signed up to Nostr just now because of Twitter's rate limit. Twitter is completely unusable right now.
💜🫂
more to come ! nostr is the solution
I read the comments and people are crying "twitter is dying" after 1 day... Again! Everytime there is a little problem, people get hysterical... Get a life! 😅
The real problem is the censoreship issue, not EM trying to solve some technical problems.
Yeh, they're #censoring the #FranceRiots. #nostr
twitter ugh
It feels very cool to be here, like eavesdropping on something exciting happening. I’m no bitcoin expert, and my passions lean toward the literary and spiritual rather than tech. I’m 72. And it feels cool to read thoughts from Jack and Edward Snowden, two people i admire. I’ll just lurk quietly in the background to see how nostr unfolds.
