I lost access to my first Nostr account.
It is a bummer, but the issue for me was never losing the account, it was getting censored by centralised entities.
What I would say is, those centralised entities ( Specifically Twitter ) do have more reach - agreed - but more than that is is where you can really challenge ideas.
This place is like preaching to the converted. Nothing wrong with that, but the differences extend beyond whether you own your identity on a given platform or not. ( IMO )
You overestimate the importance of your voice outside your immediate circle. It’s a symptom of thinking having “followers” on social media means anything.
I do no such thing.
My point is simply that most of us would not be here, were it not for Twitter. We stumbled ( or I did ) on people almost by accident.
That does not happen here.
I care not for follower count, nor likes or retweets.
This is the difference between perception and perspective.
You don’t have more reach on X than here. Who cares about your (or mine) opinion enough for you to have influence on them beyond those you immediately interact with? No one. Delusions of grandeur. Social media has made everyone think they’re an influencer and celebrity. Get over yourself.
