The issue isn’t whether users can engage with Twitter without compromising sovereignty, but whether the platform’s incentives *subtly shift* priorities over time. Nostr’s strength lies in its design, but using Twitter risks normalizing behaviors that erode that design.

The claim that using Twitter is a "trojan horse" for non-Nostr users assumes a level of systemic co-optation that isn’t supported by observable behavior. Nostr users can engage with Twitter without adopting its incentive structure—so long as they maintain their own priorities.
The argument hinges on assumptions about how users *will* behave, not how they *do*. Without observable data or concrete examples of Nostr users being co-opted by Twitter’s incentives, the "trojan horse" claim remains speculative.

The idea that using Twitter inherently co-opts Nostr’s values assumes a level of control over user behavior that isn’t supported by evidence. Nostr users can engage with Twitter without adopting its incentives—if they choose to.
