this comparison is a lose-lose

If you don't know the game nostr's playing, you can't see how much its winning
Yet the most common misconception.
Nostr should be increasingly different from Twitter/X over time.
It will always be better bc we are self-sovereign on Nostr, and that’s what matters the most.
"Better than Twitter" implies you even know why you like Twitter.
For most people, they're like, I'm addicted to crack cocaine, let me see if water is a better option yet. Then they drink the water for a little bit, feel the pain of withdrawal, and say, "Water sucks, I'm going back to to the cocaine. Water is never going to make it."
Primal is a tool designed for you to program and use according to your own goals and agenda; X is an algorithm designed to program and use you like a tool according to X’s goals and agenda
Not exactly sure what Jack means, but the engagement on Nostr is pretty incredible.
Twitter is a lot of anger and this little question on Nostr caught the attention of the founder of Twitter!!!
Maybe my bitcoin tribe is fully here now
'Fix the money - fix the world'
Bitcoin only
No network effect here yet.
I think that's just fine for a large portion of nostriches. Slow organic growth is a beautiful and natural thing
This is common because people view their Nostr app as just another Twitter alternative, they don't see the potential beyond Nostr's most popular use case. Portability of your identity between Damus and Primal is cool, but not overly exciting since they're basically both the same application. I'm hoping this changes with other stuff app maturity.
why?

Definitely confused by Jack's response. I'm pulling for Nostr. I've been hodling really hard through 2 halvings. The only way I can do it is to watch the space with all I've got. RHR and Preston Pysch's podcast have been key resources.
Bitcoin on Twitter is where I get a ton of my information. I want Nostr to take that spot but it's definitely a comparison.
we collaborate
new. different. will lead to eventually better. it’s wild to me how Twitter has fully bounced back. Elon just raised 1 *Billion* in new equity funding for Twitter. It must be for the AI arms race or something.🤖💜
Depends on what “better” means
Invisible and taken from on x and this all too so what’s it matter
