many of the ride-or-dies on nostr are refugees banned from the rest of the internet. the people who are not offending The Algorithm have no real incentive to stay, and so they don't.

#nostr is for freaks. always has been, always will be. except for primal, which will always be Jack's bleeding heart for the "old days" of twitter.

I stay not because i was ever banned but because I believe in what nostr is and could become. Also cause the ppl here are cool.

I was on a few of the social media sites briefly and dropped out because I didn't like any of them much. I gave Twitter a second chance after Musk bought it. I got about as far as following Musk, SpaceX, and a couple of space agencies, and reading a few tweets while posting nothing yet, before getting my account temporarily disabled, with a demand for pictorial ID, for "suspicious activity." (Reading is apparently a very suspicious activity to certain parties.) I told them they weren't getting any ID and they should kill off the account. They kept sending me new-user suggestions while preventing me from logging in to turn off the useless emails. I threw all Twitter/X email addresses in the spam trap. Curtain.

It was relatively early and I figured maybe Musk hadn't cleaned all the Lefty Censors and their systems out of his purchase yet. Maybe. But I was still radically unimpressed and untrusting. There will be no third chance.
