One thing that keeps the network effect over on twitter (or 'X' as it might be called soon), is that the interactions are over there. So it's not just about cross posting things across platforms, it's also about who's interacting and in what ways are they interacting.

Of course i'm longer term bullish on nostr vs Twitter/X, but it'll take time.

That might be the case for bigger accounts, but pleb accounts have no interaction at all. So, plebs should come first to #Nostr as they get a much better experience here. Then imo the so-called "influencers" will follow.

Yeah I second this. If you’ve been around on Twitter for a while you may get the engagement, otherwise Nostr might be bigger engagement for the small accounts who were on Twitter (anything is bigger than 0 right?).

I too second this. Also it applies to FB too.

I had accounts on Fb since 2009 and Twitter since 2018.

As a regular pleb, I don't get barely any interactions on anything I post on my own. Both of them give an unfair advantage to big names and make it very hard for us plebs to get Independent traction.

On Twitter you can randomly blow up occasionally, if you can curate your posts to comprise more or less of hot takes. Otherwise it's pretty much a roulette.

On FB, organic content outside of focus groups rarely gets any traction at all. Surprisingly enough. that also applies in part to the big names.

In about a month of using Nostr, I have double the amount of followers I ever had on Twitter. And even though I have spent 14 years fairly active on FB, I get more interactions here.

When I shout into the abyss, Nostr gives a regular pleb like me a much better chance of the abyss shouting back.

We just need to prioritise Nostr for interaction. I’ve stopped using Twitter for anything except spaces.

Its the quality of people (few).

Ive actually got financial advice from billionares.

Wild.

Wait, what is this X thing you speak of?

Tell me they aren’t changing the name because that would certainly be the dumbest move yet. And that’s saying something

Guy - I cannot tell you that, because Elon did all-but announce it last night! In the middle of this chaos. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Soon to be Xtinct 😅
