I’m really struggling with the idea of nuking my twitter but I’m 50% more likely to do it this month than I was last month.
The more breaks I take from Twitter, the more I realize was a toxic cesspool of mind poison it is.
It is a source of unhappiness.
Yes, I am trying to jump ship too. Elon's Folly isn't just about the Cyber Dumpster™. 
I have been out for a year and I feelson much better
“Toxic cesspool of mind poison and source of unhappiness.”
And you’re struggling?
Do it.
Ask them to make it better
Be the change you want to see, Brad. 🤙🏻
My process was to change my main twitter handle to a new one and then take it private. I then created a new account to take over my old Twitter handle with a single post saying to find me here when I was fully ready. This way I still have my old profile name reserved away from scammers but was able to leave it all behind.
I'm finding that id rater be on nostr than facistbook, though still waiting for enough to adoption, gotta check in on FB every so often for family posts or marketplace listings
Whenever I take a look at X, I'm struck by just how far it has fallen from what Twitter was. Oh well, I'm happy here.
Be the change you want to see! Let’s make nostr the intolerant minority, not Twitter.

I logged in today the first time in a week and it is just a toxic mainstream filled cesspit with propaganda and grifters. Most of my timeline isn't even my followers... Its utter trash!
You likely had a much bigger account going on there than I did but I nuked prior to X, and I didn’t skip a beat.
It’s just night and day better on endless levels on Nostr. There is no comparison between the two.
No signal comparison.
I had a sizable LinkedIn account and I recently closed it if that helps.
Sometimes the boats are worth burning. 🤙
Do it. The quality of your sleep will improve significantly.
I’ve already got that under control thankfully because I stopped using Twitter, 90% less time on there now
Share your sentiment with Twitter on Twitter and do a #zapathon for those that follow you to #nostr. Set a date to leave, remind people who follow your content multiple times and back up your commitment with zaps to show off nostr’s virtuous feedback loop.
I bet you won’t.
Do eeeeeeet!!
I left. Total garbage. Divisive. Toxic. Designed to make you mad and irritated
You can always just leave it in limbo. I only go on there when I'm searching for specific Twitter information.
Maybe this helps you:
EXIT.pub is a tool by @pablof7z that allows you to import your tweets into nostr.
Leave Elon's walled garden and take your goodies with you.
You should invest in more shitcoin projects, sir.
It is okay for these decisions to be journeys rather than snap decisions. Freedom tech in general has both a learning curve and an emotional curve, at least I’ve found. I was very scared of adopting Linux, but after watching enough tutorials on YouTube I eventually got comfortable.
It took me over a year to finally do it. Thought about it many times, took several breaks, then would come back and feel awful every time I used it. It's 100% a drug. Best of luck sir 🫡
DELETE IT. NEVER LOOK BACK.
NOSTR ONLY. 🫡
#nostronly
Do it! My wife and I did it and now we’re full time #Nostr and never felt better. We need to be the world we want to see!
You need to curate your feed
Indeed it is..
Try to do just a month #nostrONLY, and you'll see that deleting or not using X will be a natural resut.
Pura Vida 🫂🍀💜
Twitter is nothing but rage algos. It's unhealthy.
Must of been a reason Jack left.
Anagous to a drug addiction. Do the right thing and nuke it.
Great call. You won’t miss it.
Especially this week on bitcoin twitter. 🤦♂️
The further the exodus. The more exposed the virus.
Do it...
Brad, I hear ya. You're choice but the best thing that ever happened to me was getting banned from Twitter. I finally got a new account and when I go to post something I realize just what a toxic cesspool of hate twitter really is and has been.
Nostr will have all of the problems you see on Twitter too.
Do you want censorship and algorithims here too?
Social media in general is a negative thing for most ppl
Been off for a couple of months. After a while you don’t miss it. And if it has anything to do with bitcoin, there’s no news that you’re going to totally miss if you’re on nostr. You may miss truly breaking news, but later in the day you’ll see it on nostr.
Same. Largely a waste of precious time there - no value in attempting discourse, possible value in continuing to provide Bitcoin signal for new twitter peeps .. but algo’s appear to be choking reach so 🤷♂️
When i joined Nostr, i deleted the app from my phone.
Last month, I deleted my account.
I have zero regrets.
Try uninstalling the app from your phone
Delete. Never look back.
I not only deleted twitter, but stopped consuming news too. Really surprised at how much it improved my life.
it's a curated reality, deleted my x account 5 months
I definitely recommend it. However I understand the difficulty if you have a long history and a big following on the platform.
