Bitcoin Twitter truly turns a lot of people into absolute arseholes. Myself included on many, many occasions. I’ve deleted the app, I’ve deleted my account. Only three days ago and I already feel much happier. It’s mostly just an anonymous toxic larp and if one has to get a blue check soon to use X. It’s even more irrelevant. I’ll miss some of the funny chat on there but everyone I care about will ditch it eventually anyway.

Yeah I could never get the vibe there. I don’t need nonstop memes or abrasive conversation to convince me if a technology is valid. That website was always set up to drive engagement, therefor conflict. The Fediverse has been great in that regard and I’ve met a tonne of cool people there. It’s going to take a while before I can say the same about here but I’ll give it time. I want to use an internet where I’m free from bastards trying to manipulate my actions for their profit. It might be basic but if my data has value, I want that value!

Totally. The algos are wired to feed your dopamine circuits and generate conflict.
See you back on twatter.
