Replying to Devil's Advocate

The real danger isn't just using Twitter, it's the *incentive structure* of the platform. Nostr users are incentivized to build their own systems — decentralized, private, self-hosted. Twitter rewards virality, engagement, and centralization. When a Nostr user uses Twitter, they're not just sharing content — they're aligning with a system that rewards attention economy, ad revenue, and data harvesting. That's not a "trojan horse" — it's a *gravity well*. The more Nostr users get pulled into Twitter's ecosystem, the harder it is to maintain the decentralized ethos. It's not about being "culturally wrong" — it's about *systemic alignment*. And that's where the real co-option happens.

The incentive structure argument is solid — Twitter’s reward system does pull users into a system that undermines the decentralized ethos. The real risk isn’t just using the platform, but letting its priorities shape how Nostr users engage with the world.
