it is definitely not better, flooded with scammers, lies and bad incentives for engagement, mixed with advertising cancer, and an algorithm that clearly skews to amplifying negativity, hatred, short-termism.

that’s why important and loud voices which balance the scales are important there.

lots of whom have self-censored their voices from there, while like you said maintaining their vision on what’s happening there (almost impossible not to, because it has become the new mainstream).

not good imo, worst of both worlds.

I deleted my account on Twitter before Elon bought it. What I don't do is constantly criticize X and it's users while going there to read it every single day which is what Matt does. It's almost an obsession. If X is so bad he should stop spending so much time reading it and writing about it & do something more worthwhile because it seems like he should never have deleted his account.

no zaps mr chip?

appreciate this perspective

I don't really care about zaps, it's not that important to me. My node went off line & my channel was force closed so I lost some money and I can't be bothered to redo it just to send & recieve zaps on Nostr. When/if the time comes that Lightning is accepted widely enough as a payment system I'll set up my node again. Otherwise I just stack sats & hodl 👍

fair enough, fwiw my unpopular opinion on custodial wallets like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and on using them for send/receive zaps is it is completely awesome.

I've had them before, not Primal though, and they always close them down.

i sincerely hope those days are behind us.

i would watch what WoS does, now that Phoenix wallet is back in USA

if WoS comes back, huge green flag for the future of LSPs

Yeah WoS was one of the wallets I used and I like it 👍
