1 sat = 1 sat Vires in Numeris

chronological order of who you're following is an algo. being able to choose other ones from time to time is useful. being able to see the source code is very different than a company creating their own algo to make them more as revenue

In my latest very dumb experiment, i’ve gotten a Xitter™️ account again. Firstly, gfy i’ll probably delete it soon. I have my reasons, gfy again.

Here are my initial thoughts:

1) the onboarding experience is terrible. You must curate your feed heavily, same as nostr just centralized and it shoves elon’s account in your face immediately lol

2) the algo is appalling. It makes you choose at least three interests while setting up an account. I think mine were finance, food, and nature… and then it shoved tiddies and public fights/people dying on camera in my face. I had to seek out bitcoiners to get any semblance of reason on my feed

3) it immediately locked my account twice and made me prove i was a human by entering a second email code (already did that initially) and solving a weird puzzle

4) i had to say “not interested in this” repeatedly on tiddies (despite not not being interested in tiddied. I’m civilized ffs) and war and street violence and politics, and all of those still pop up anyway

5) didn’t let me “be seen” or have dm’s until i interacted with the piece of shit timeline enough for its arbitrary and opaque liking

6) Xitter™️ still can’t distinguish what a degen vs a bitcoiner feed should look like, causing me to be exposed to dumbass shit like “alt season incoming, load your bags!!” in response to shit like dan held

7) no one engages when you don’t have a blue check and lots of followers. Again, no better than nostr in this regard - in fact it seems even worse

After these Seven™️ highly insightful insights that nobody could’ve known without me doing this, i have come to the conclusion that Nostr is better and look forward to it growing since we all know open protocols and interoperability WIN

The only way to make it sufferable is to have a group of friends already, or else you’ll probably become politically radicalized, addicted to tiddies, degenerate shitcoiner. This comes as no surprise to me, as the only reason i ever really used it back before it became Xitter™️ was to stack sats and shitpost with my friends on the Stackchain™️ (who so far don’t even know i’ve done this, because this is an experiment you fucks so don’t add me to tard chat or anything)

I’ll keep it open until i can no longer bear the Xittiness of it all, could be today or in a week or a month, i have no idea tbh

The only benefit seems to be that if used carefully you can see what’s going on out in “normie” land better than here… for now. I also can’t help but notice how many nostriches are still on there, but who am i to judge (nobody)

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading, dan

tldr; nobody relapsed, saw tiddes, then justified actions because science. GFY 🫂

did the WoT work that well or did reply guy quit his shit?

there's no such thing as allowed or not allowed. follow, unfollow, and block liberally to curate the feed you want to see. if you get the vibe that you aren't allowed, tell them to go fuck themselves

👋

it's available on zap store?

dipping a piece of dark chocolate into some almond butter

calm down dude and read my whole first sentence. what I meant by someone begging for cash and then getting in their bmw is that is someone that is pretending to be something they arent to scam well meaning plebs.

I just didn't see it as a reason to launch a campaign to shame people into changing their zap behivor because I personally haven't ever seen it be even close to this effective. sounds like you've seen a shit load more of this grift than I have so I asked directly if you've seen anything close to this effective before?

not asking for a catalog but if you can even think of one scam like this that was more effective

is the homeless guy going to take all the cash he made begging today, get into his bmw l, and drive home cackling? I don't give a fuck. it felt good to give and I like to live from a point of abundance .

yes scamming is not ok and yes it sucks that it gets promoted from time to time. at the same time, I don't want to discourage people from zapping

this is by far the most successful I've seen. Have you seen anything even close to this?

a and c take more work while b accomplishes the exact same thing without needing a dash or shift key

if I gotta verify every time I want to send 21 sats, us it even fuckin worth it?
