scrolling X on the damus account feels like scrolling linkedin. such a strange feeling when twitter used to be home. It’s equally strange seeing most of my IRL bitcoiner friends still on there. Most bitcoin core devs post there, even though there is a libsecp256k1-secured network right here with mostly bitcoiners!? Network effects are *immense*. hats off to the people who took the leap regardless and are still here. Ya’ll are the real ones.

Probably a stupid question but....you xan view X on Damus? 🤯

Damus has an account on X.

Yeah damusapp, basically just use it to promote nostr/damus and to follow bitcoin core devs since they don’t post here.

Oh. I was getting excited thinking he created a bridge so people can view but not comment.

Yes

You bluffing too much

I made the leap! Found out about Nostr through txitter so thankful for that. Never looked back. My last txeet was my npub 🤙

No other place to be.

If nostr isn't good enough, we make it better, there is simply no other option, I refuse to bow down to the hopelessness the controlled and coopted world wishes to sell us.

I left Twitter in part because it felt very fake- a ton of generated tweets and people obsessed with growing their accounts. I hope that doesn’t happen here but starting to see some of those lame tweets here.

Only people that interacted with me were bots… on twitter…

I had real followers who behaved like bots and everyone else was as fake as they could possibly be. It became unbearable. People being fake for the sake of appearances.

I have to admit I am a bit less guarded on #nostr not concerned about offending people.

damn.

Are they really Bitcoiners if they don’t use nostr? JK

I couldn't fucking agree more. Will 🫡

nostr is real and it’s happening. good things take time

Nostr will never be a town square, and bringing more bitcoiners won't make things better

Yo

💯

Most people will only change what they're doing if they are forced to.

You should spread a rumor that Jack is zapping whole bitcoins randomly

Dopamine addicts are worse than crack heads, I got jacked by an X user once. Nasty bastards.

Five years in, and this platform is an echo chamber with no real progress. Devs dependent on Jack’s proxies and HRF grants. Recycled features from other centralized social media, and privacy is still nonexistent. Unfortunately!

what would non-recycled features and real progress look like to you?

Original UX innovation, key management, strong default privacy, decentralized discovery, relay incentives, rich media support… at least !

We all live in jails of our own design.

You should be proud of yourself for contributing to nostr before anyone else believed in it

eh i just like shiny new things. same reason i found bitcoin in 2010. nothing special really other than being an adhd information spunge

You still chose the right things when you could’ve easily went to ethereum and mastodon/blusky 🫂

well i’m not retarded, well only a little

You made it possible 💞

🫂

thank you for your service

twitter is fun

nostr is fun

🫡

Twitter banned us.

Trash. 🤷‍♂️

Wtf?
