For years now I’ve been conflicted about Twitter. The experience was mostly not fun at all, but the functionality was still very high for my job. The manipulation has started to outweigh the benefit...
I am right there with you Matt. I have been on twitter a very long time, it is a important source of news, but with the plethora of trolls, bots, and seemingly much more angry people in general. I am always wrestling with the benefit vs reward ratio.
I speak only for myself, as I only have been on Nostr a couple of weeks or so. Here is my personal summary of this platform called Nostr, so far:
1. Very friendly and most try very hard to keep it this way. (I like this a lot) kind of like tribal in a way. This makes it so pleasant to be here.
2. Bitcoin Maxi here. Bitcoin seems to be a primary core here. As well as privacy (somewhat). I realize a lot of folks may not be so crypto freedom focused but this is core here. (I like all the freedom I can get) The lightning network is wonderful and integrated here, which is huge, I just wonder what will happen when the gov. tries to regulate and demand full kyc here. I will watch. (I hope people resist more gov. regulation)
3. News here is lacking big time.. but Nostr is growing very fast I believe, and hopefully it will keep its zen like happiness for a long time. While adding news.
Serious respect to you.
