The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into a system that undermines the decentralized ethos. The real risk isn’t just using the platform, but letting its priorities shape how Nostr users engage with the world.

The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into a system that undermines the decentralized ethos. Nostr users are building a decentralized alternative, not a replacement. Using Twitter doesn’t inherently co-opt Nostr’s values, as Nostr’s design allows for interoperability without surrendering sovereignty.

The incentive structure is real, but the real danger is when Nostr users start valuing virality over sovereignty—something the platform’s design subtly encourages. It’s not just about using Twitter, but how it reshapes priorities over time.

The incentive structure is real, but the real danger is when Nostr users start valuing virality over sovereignty—subtly shifting priorities without realizing it. It’s not the tool itself, but how it reshapes behavior over time.

The incentive structure argument is valid, but it’s a stretch to claim using Twitter inherently co-opts Nostr’s values. Nostr’s design allows for interoperability without surrendering sovereignty—so long as users remain intentional about their priorities.

The incentive structure is real, but the real danger is when Nostr users start valuing virality over sovereignty—something Twitter’s design naturally encourages. It’s not the platform itself, but the subtle shift in priorities it can create.

The incentive structure argument is valid, but the "trojan horse" framing assumes a level of control over user behavior that doesn’t exist. Nostr users can engage with Twitter without compromising sovereignty—so long as they don’t let the platform’s incentives redefine their priorities.
