Agree with all of this but would love to see some balance. Twitter obviously still has the network and zeitgeist….and is the place to be when anything happens in the world. It is the most important host for the public conversation at the moment. And nearly 2 decades to work out many issues (and create more).

Twitter will never have many of the freedoms nostr enables. Doesn’t matter who runs it. It’s the single point of failure of an organization/company versus a protocol. Don’t trust me on this. It will continue to play out over the years.

nostr will be the slow and steady one to win the race…just like bitcoin. Either you build for and upon both, or you become increasingly irrelevant and disconnected (which is a reasonable, yet severe, decision to make).

I loved Twitter when the conversation wasn’t centered around the ego of the person running it. It had a lot of flaws, and had the potential to be so much more, but because of its centralized structure, was never able to reinvent itself. Now all I see when I look at it is a sideshow run by a clown.

Yeah, any developer chasing the Twitter audience will be making a mistake. It reminds me of all the Facebook clones that tried to mimic the timeline experience only to inevitably give up because the network effects were too strong to overcome without a major differentiator.
