Twitter has seriously started paying users more to reply to tweets than post their own that's how fuckin desperate they are they to keep engagement up while they turn the platform into a social credit system πŸ˜‚

For real tho this is another reason Nostr wins. Zaps are democratic. You get paid solely based on how the community responds to the value you add.

Twitter is using an algorithm that encourages the behaviour they want from users, ironically paying for specific types of engagement exactly like a bot farm.

Concerned about constant push for social credit system. What if they start pushing that on decentralized protocols like nostr? Will we opt out?

It cannot be forced onto Nostr, that's the beauty of it. No single party owns or controls it. No state can claim jurisdiction over it.

But it'll get pushed subtly like digital ID and adding CBDC support to existing faster payments systems used by pretty much all banks.

X is then just an attempt to market the whole thing as cool because that's what Elon does. He even did it successfully with brain implants.

They're paying users?

Yup but only ones who pay for Twitter Blue and tweet state approved speech.

Omg that's hilarious.. they basically a bot farm

Yup haha what a way for Twitter to die

The beauty of Nostr is free speech.
