My take: We should've never left Twitter.

Nostr is great for us, but this is an echo chamber and the people need Bitcoin maximalists.

If all the freedom focused Bitcoiners spend years isolated on their own protocol it doesn't help anyone.

We need to do a digital crusade and go push all the scammers, spammers, and shitcoiners out of the culture again.

Should Dagny and Hank Rearden have gone to Galts Gulch ?

We're on a micro-blog app bro this isn't a soveirgn citadel

Also that's a book which while incredibly powerful is still just ideological fiction

Lol agree, on both counts 😂

Just saying that sometimes you just have to find a safe place while the rest of the world burns itself to the ground. It's not like we aren't inviting them here.

I agree with you too. Nostr will always be here though, it's not going anywhere.

The fight we need to be fighting is for Bitcoin and Bitcoins principles and we need to be doing that in the public square.

We tried to bootstrap this for a few years and its been fun, but the rest of the space has lost something in our absence. We must return and set things right.

If looking more ideological fiction - checkout:

Mysteries of the Bitcoin Citadel

Bitcoin. Secrets. Betrayal.

Yep. I've been thinking basically this since I joined nostr about a year ago. I could never get on twitter because every time I tried, they banned my account with no reason given, so I was very happy nostr became a thing, but I don't think its been good for the bitcoin community.

Very bad. Too much brain drain out of common spaces. We wonder why Twitter is so dumb, look at the vaccum we left.

I can't imagine

**"The Glass Bunker"**

We built a skyscraper of purity—-Nostr, the stainless-steel desal plant with only crystal-clear flow. Our procedures? Flawless. Our frames? Unbreachable. Our water? So clean it’s sterile.

Meanwhile, Twitter’s sewer system is backing up, flooding the streets with s***coin sludge and hot takes gone septic!

Problem? We’re not a bunker. We’re bottled-water, sipping perfection while the world …

What do you suggest ? Pray for Jamaica ?

The fix?

Stop admiring the pipes. Grab a wrench, crack the mainline; and flood the system with something drinkable.

you never change things by fighting the existing reality.

to change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

Agree. The energy used getting angry at the existing system is energy that can used learning freedom tech that makes the existing system obsolete.

Very Buckminster Fuller …and advances are made by outlaws;)

If we want to change the world for the better using bitcoin, why do you put so much effort into funding politicians? It’s the one position I can’t agree with you on

You work for a nonprofit which does work furthering Bitcoin, you're a public figure who has influenced thousands of people, and your voice was important in setting the tone of our culture from 2019-2023.

Building a new model was Satoshis job.

We need to bring Bitcoin to where people are.

This is a misconception. People will find you when they are ready. Seeking is part of their heroe's journey.

You are only compromising yourself by spending more time and energy on a platform that doesn't want you and that you don't like for good reasons.

I think everyone should just do what they want. If you wanna argue with shitcoiners or whatever, do it. Can’t make anyone do anything. I actually have an account again as of like a year ago now. I just missed muh stackchainers though… no noble cause really

Also i am quite befuddled to be grouped in with these OG/whale/legends 😂

You're one of the real ones bro

I have no idea what's happening on xitter and I like it this way

I still have Twitter, and although I hardly use it, I still post there occasionally only to remind people I'm on nostr, and not using Twitter, and if they want to engage with me or my content, that's where to find me. Only one person out of the 300 or so I was mutuals with came to nostr since I joined last September 🤷🏼‍♀️

Couldn’t pay me to use that shit

On contribution side, agreed. On receiving side it’s been a tough few months, but reclaimed time, sanity and reduction in stress has been worth it. My experience is the growing number of news contributors on NOSTR provide adequate coverage. It has helped to have a willing like-minded friend forwarding highlights from Twitter but I wouldn’t throw anyone under the bus just for this privilege.

we never should have joined twitter. we thought it was good enough because it had an open API. eventually they even got rid of that. Freedom lovers need to use Free Software. You can avoid the echo chamber by connecting to wss://relay.mostr.pub & wss://relay.momostr.pink and following folks across the bridge.
