Finally deleted Twitter yesterday and this nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe clip from the 4-hour #Bitcoin Infinity Day Special did it.
For the past several weeks, my bias has been to post here. And every time I went back to take a look, all I saw were things that the algorithm wanted me to see.
It remains to be seen what #Nostr means for humanity, but I do know for sure what it means for me. If I have a choice to plants the seeds of hope and positivity or the seeds of fear and outrage, I’m going to choose the former all day. 🤙

"fear and outrage" is a perfect way of describing the Twitter / X platform.
something I have considered in the past - is the algo trained to intentionally create this experience, or is this a reflection of the users generating the data?
i worry it is the latter.
I guess we’ll never know, but I think it’s a little bit of both.
If users are making money from impressions and engagement, I think they are incentivized to post content that would stir the pot so to speak.
As for the algo, I think there’s a reason why there’s the “if it bleeds, it leads” adage. I consider Twitter the modern day television.
Life got much better for me after I stopped watching the news. I’m bullish that the same will be true for leaving Twitter. 🤙
