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

haha dont insult E.T. ya bastard...

Name a psyop that failed faster than this, I'll wait

Didn't peanut butter kill 13 people while Trump was president?

🫂 wish I could offer more

My sympathies. I've had my own ailments, which are, for the time being resolved and I remember being disappointed that my body would let me down. I hope there's a way you can get help one day.

With the fiat state of medicine most medical professionals wont be it for you.

Hope you find *the* expert or few on the specific ailment you have 🙏

Knees are such a pain in the ass where not working as they should. 2 operations at both my ACL, so I can understand a bit the struggle, but can't imagine living constantly with that for years. Stay strong fren, hope you'll find a way to fix it or have some relief 🍀💜

Don't apologise for a rant, we all need to rant and sometimes someone to hear it🫂
