Wow.
Big move.
Discussion
No point in being there and writing into the void.
PS: it was like my impressions/engagement was turned off with a switch pretty much immediately after I had a couple of tweets about nostr š¤·āāļø
Crazy.
Itāll come around someday.
Or all the people will just come around here and the blue bird will become a relic of the past, replaced by the bigger badder nostrich
The trumpet of a head-on battle has been blown, although bluebird is nothing in our eyes
When the blue bird sees the purple bird it cowered and didn't dare to come out. So, they have to cover their eyes and pretend not to see
Twitter will end up like AOL
Too late I think. When people keep falling back to the purple bird because the blue bird stops working itās just a matter of time before the backup becomes the main.
All good thingsā¦
I have noticed the same.. even though imma lil pleb, definitely noticed almost zero engagement since I been tweeting about nostr.
Been asking others to promote the Basic Bitcoin Tech and Bitcoin for Beginners spaces I co-host as they don't get seen anymore otherwise
at least at this point Calvin won't be trolling your posts here either :P
Well I finally made a nostr account after you disappeared. Anyone got a link to some tips for how to use Damas? Ehatās NIP 05?

The really big move is if Elon deactivates his, packs his bags and makes Twitter a Nostr client.
Must feel weird watching Twitter go down in flames.
I donāt think it is.
The idea is resilient to all.
But thereās going to be a bunch of noise along the way. nostr shows a path that helps everyone, including Twitter.
Nostrās existence raises the standard for Twitter. Super positive for users
Hopefully, Twitter will recognize this problem sooner rather than later, instead of sticking to its old ways
Yeah, I think twitter will stay a player, like Yahoo is still a player.
so what happend to bluesky twitter? does the project still exist? why don't they settle on nostr?
Bumping this. Would love to know. Nostr is what I originally thought Bluesky would be - but am I right that they're now focused on algorithmic choice?
How do you see a benefit to both, like why not just have nostr?
Yeah I see no reason why Twitter couldnāt become a power house in the Nostr landscape, not sure I really want that, but I donāt donāt know why they wouldnāt want to.
Twitter can become a very good Nostr client.
The great migration is underway
