I have 20x more followers on Twitter compared to #Nostr and yet the engagement level is similar on the two. In other words nostr is 20x more signal. 📶

On Nostr I can also send and receive zaps. ⚡️

And I own my own key. 🔑

Pretty awesome experience overall. Well done folks! 👏

Twitter is dead to me.

Wen ln+ nip-05 support? Could be a very cool way for node runners to communicate

I hope you can educate me about it. Got a link to read upon it?

here are a couple good links:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/nostr-account-nip-05-verified/

in the case of LN+, I could see each node runners profile having a field where you can enter your npub. This would automatically setup the Nip-05 verification on lightningnetwork.plus. Then node runners could communicate over nostr and have verification the node runner they are interacting with on LN+ is the same person they are interacting to over nostr

Thank you! The field for npub is already done and being filled. Will get the rest done soon.

oops, missed that! awesome stuff. Keep up the great work

Using Twitter is like asking for permission to congregate with your social circle. Giving private overlords the power to control your speech, reach, and reputation.

Nostr is the opposite.

i second that. when you post something on twitter you always have to watch your back. there is always the threat of being censored or banned. this threat alone makes most people obedient and submissive

I like Nostr but it needs to evolve and persuade other people to use it, and become more intuitive.

This as it can become something like an echo chamber for Bitcoin ideas, and to grow it is essential to get opposing points of view.

Twitter is not even an option because you have to link your phone number to the account.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention how cool it is that you can get verified (on my todos) and post long format notes without paying the $8/m. 🤩

what’s twitter?

I look at centralised social media they way I look at fiat.

No NFTs here on Nostr which is great. Twitter is so toxic with web3 things…

The only thing useful about Twitter is going there to blow up establishment narratives

The reason I joined Twitter in the first place was to not allow them to have a safe space
