Should we make March a Nostr only month? No Twitter. Nostr only. That gives you exactly one week to get your Twitter fix in.
Who's with me?

Who's with me?
y’all still using twitter eh
People still use twitter?!
I’m in! 🤙
I am down Sir ✊🏼💜🔥
Say less
No Twitter, Nostr only?
Gladly. Fuck twitter. Just have to convince #[3] to deal with only DMing here, 😂😂😂
Tempting. I just got on and while Nostr is amazing I can see myself doing health and other searches to find new things to explore on Twitter for a while. My Bitcoin fix will certainly be here just after 1 day.
Down! We still need to bring our favorite creators over as well though, certain people I can only follow on Twitter.
I haven't logged into Twitter in days. Don't plan on returning. Too much noise there, I don't feel the need.
I use it as a news aggregator.
just burn a few RSS feeds with rsslay.nostr.net and see if that can get you by?
I have an incredible multiple RSS newsfeeds through feedspot.com and can create my own from almost any website using rss.app all scrolling across my multiple screens using Desktop Ticker, but thanks Bro, I'll check that out.
you can add new ones :) I've added a few.
I checked out the available feeds and they don't hold a candle to the feeds I get but thanks anyway.
Can anyone offer guidance on how to do this please? If i can have news feeds on nostr I'm totally done with twitter.
1) find your favorite news rss feed
2) visit rsslay.nostr.net
3) add them if they are not found
4) add wss://rsslay.nostr.net to your relays
5) follow the pubkeys that you generated above
boom instant news on Nostr from your favorite news websites. (or twitter users if they aren't on nostr. just use nitter.net to get their rss feed.)
I dont use rss feeds but I guess I have to start
This changes everything. Thanks, time to explore…
This is the pubkey from rssrelay

Do I need to wait before I search?
Nothing found at the moment.
oh shit i have a lot of RSS feeds.
I use Nostr as a news aggregator. It gives me all the news I need, which is approximately zero. 😁
Sure.
Have fun being uninformed.
It is quite blissful
I've heard the saying that ignorance is bliss.
Never really believed it.
serious question, where do you get "informed" from? i am constantly on the search for fresh sources
Here is a list of my rss feeds which I run in a scrolling program called Desktop Ticker:
I don't know man, February has kind of already become no twitter for me hahahahahahaha
look at you, Mr. Early.
Hell yeah. It'd be really cool if we could put some kind of sats pool (like 1000?), where you only get it back if you make it the whole month. Other wise the total gets split evenly among the remaining participants.
Already deleted my twitter account
Count me in✌️
Yep

Deleted the app from the phone last week. Rarely checking it recently and every time I do I regret it because of the bad emotions it evokes.
I guess I'm ready.
Elon should of implemented bitcoin. He screwed up and well now we have a new toy. Or toys. I am trying Zion out as well. Not near the users as nostr yet but some cool features
Nostr only maximalist here!
Sure, I'm in, but 90% of my posts on Twitter are just posting my npub anyway
this is the best use case to be honest
Started early in Feb. Gonna continue for the rest of the months as well. And years.
What's twitter, I came here straight from irc.
irc.efnet.org #mp3hq represent!
efnet! taking me back to the days now!
And count me more than in. Already disabled all twitter notifications and wiped it off half my devices. Life is much better. Much much better.
you're ahead of the pack.
I think the big question on people's minds when the March on Twitter is coming to an end might be...
Should I go back to Twitter?
or
Have I moulded enough of a home and community for me to use Nostr exclusively?
I have a feeling March will be a very busy building month! The tools and clients available to the layman will be getting improved and updated so quickly I feel as the field of dreams line comes to fruition.
If you build it. They will come.
alex, what is twitter fix for 300?
i dont know, i follow like, 80 people there, none of them ever talk anyway, and i've had the account for 13 years. LOL
I forgot my password awhile ago, so I feel like I’m kind of grandfathered in already.
congrats? 🤣
Haha, I made the account in 2008! But I do still remember my landline phone number from when I was a kid, if that counts for anything? 😆
i remember all of the landline phone numbers from a kid. family members, friends i haven't called in 30 years, you name it. i remember those, but i have no clue about any phone numbers that people have gotten in the last 20 years.
Already on the nostrian calendar. Zero Twitter.
I have not use Twitter for days since I diving in nostr ocean, keep going.
Go ahead and we are with you
once damus gets a ‘trending’ section that’s a wrap for me ✌️
LETS DO ITTTT
I’m down
Pretty much nostr only already
🫡🫡🫡, pretty much already there
I’m in! ⚡️
Been in 💜🤙
I’m good with this
🤙🏾
I'm in!🫡
✅
Should be fairly easy for me. I will miss some folks buuuuut also not the end of the world
In
Me too
💜
Easy for me - every month is 'no twitter month'.
I left twitter after 1 day of using Nostr on Iris.
I still need my spaces fix. But I'll shill nostr guides everywhere I can
OK, no posting on the bluebird for me in March. Are Beeple & Jason Williams on Nostr? (asking for a friend...)
Don't know, don't follow them anywhere. 😉
Let's start with a week..
lol Mastodon is way better than this shit. Twitter users hated Mastodon and this is way worse
🍼
Mastodon is kind of horrible and has no features compared to Nostr.
You are right but all the clients suck here . Mastodon is at least usable and has many apps and users and less spam. Federation is also more automatic and better than here. Manually choosing relays is lame. Normies will never use this.
Nostr is definitely worse in terms of features and content, but it’s probably better overall. Soapbox is better because of emoji reacts and quote posts.
The twitter refugees that went to mastodon and gave up likely never even tried soapbox or the good mobile apps. Search Engine Optimization for the fedi has been fucked since the media blitz of 2017. Also the walled garden instances joinmastodon.com funneled them into probably didnt tell them about soapbox on purpose.
Also, a lot of the people here came from twitter and in many ways nostr is more similar to it than the fedi is. We can't really compare instances to relays because there's no real loyalty to them here. People publish to as many as they know about and (hopefully) pull down posts from just a few. Whereas on fedi people identify with their instance and the instances close to them and communities form. Communities on Nostr are more like twitter. Just like minded posters in a giant public pool with no clear boundary. I'm not sure nostr will ever replicate what the fedi has, and I think thats ok

The pool is not that giant here because you have to choose what relays to see posts from and the web clients don’t work with many relays. Federation and user discovery better on fedi
Thats kind of the idea behind posting to several. We may not read from the same relays for each feed but my posts are still highly available
Finding people for me so far hasn't been too big of a problem
But at least if they ban you you also lose your identity!
New server, who dis?
Just move to a better instance
what about your followers and followers? you can't take them and your identity with you. nostr is censorship resistant. you can't be banned.
You can export and import people you are following. Nostr maybe better in a few years. Right now this isn’t good for the user
if you get banned, how are you going to login to export those? both servers need to be active to transfer things.
Good point. I want this to be the future but it has a far way to go.
agree. it's not perfect. most clients are 2 months old 🤣
Any idea when uploads will be a feature ?
many clients already do this like snort.social, coracle, iris.to
Where are uploads stored
Depends on the client, some of them use nostr.build
I want to try mastodon months ago and it was imposible to me to join without knowledge. On nostr protocol literally takes me 5 seconds to push events.
Come to https://poster.place , my instance, and tell me which is better . Do it on mobile and desktop
Should be easy for me. I was never on Twitter to begin with 🤣
Tried Mastodon but found it lacking. Nostr is much better.
Fixed my twitter timeline with a js script to block algorythm and only read my follows in cronological order. This is a must.
Gonna nuke mine very soon.
I deactivated my Twitter a week ago so sure!
Been considering doing the same, but I have been cloned a few times and worried that if I don't maintain a presence on Twitter, more people will get scammed. Perhaps it's time to let go of that concern....
Might really delete the app then. I still open it sometimes out of habit. Only posting my npub and nostr stuff though 😅
So on board with this!!
Today my family is celebrating fat Tuesday, the day before lent and I will be deleting every social except nostr. I know it will be worth it, and I encourage everyone religious or not to join no-twitter-march!

I nuked my twitter account at the weekend and am coping fine, prob miss some of the news stuff that I used to see but other than that most of the people I like interacting with are here now.
👏
I am with you Derek 🫂
I've been doing that since December
🫡 sir yes sir Reporting for NostrMarch
🫡done
I’m so freaking in!!!
You got Zapped for being brilliant!!!
⚡️⚡️⚡️
DOWN, was planning on deleting at end of week anyway.
Love it, count me in
Absolutely no way - most of the clients are still alpha grade. If Damus was available on Android / Web then we'd be in a much better place. We are half baked at the moment! #Onwards
The real question is who are we going to send over there to spread the Nostr ostrich memes?
I would support it 💪
I'm down! Already silenced all twitter notifications on two of my devices and life is alot more serene and tranquil... as it should be.
#MarchOffTwitter #RunningOnNostr
Starting in one week: #MarchOffTwitter
🥁🚶🏻♀️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏻🚶🏼♀️🚶🏽🚶🏿🚶🏾♀️🚶🏻♂️🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♀️🚶♀️🚶🏾
Spread the word.
#[1]
This should include posting links to Twitter, here in #Nostr. SHAME!
Reminder: #MarchOffTwitter begins in less than a week.
#[0]
I’m in. Sounds like a good reason to officially remove the blue bird app from my phone.
Every month is nostr only when you’re ready to make the leap.
Whoever came up with the tag #MarchOffTwitter deserves a raise
🏃♂️
i want to tag maybe: daniel but i cannot. snort is being difficult with tagging this morning.

It would be awesome if in April we could see the usage stats on Twitter for #MarchOffTwitter to see it’s impact!
This won't be a hard challenge. 🤣
I’m in 😎
There are people here who still use Twitter? 🤔
#[0]
By golly, I'm in!
I’m already there:
I no longer worry about macro, munger, or macron.
Instead, I follow dudes with gifs of their dong.
I don’t give a shit if Trudeau’s socks are nice
I don’t ever check price
I keep twisting my kids tits
Because I’m obsessed with nips
Instead of an algo showing me five crimes
I’m watching Will update Damus nine times
I used to need a mid day nap.
Now I zap, while I’m taking a crap.
I no longer here screams
I fall asleep to purple dreams.
I support this idea!
#MarchOffTwitter brilliant, I'm in!
Give up Twitter for lent
Qq ~ can we call it the “March off Twitter” movement?
#dadjokes
that's the hashtag that we're using actually :) #MarchOffTwitter
Never liked blue.... , purple for me, im in
you are still on Twitter? 😜
yes⚡️💜
#[0]
Yes. I'm in.
#[1]
yes #[2] suggested this idea like a week ago. Let’s do this.
Sure 🤙
since i discovered nostr i almost don't go on twitter anymore. Then around here there are no newspapers and news from my part of the world
What is a twitter? 🧉🤔
I'm in
LFG!
