The thing that made Twitter good was the character limit. Without that now it is just Facebook.

Go in hard. Go in fast and then get the fuck out.

I still have a character limit.

It is possible to have a good or a bad time on any social media. The key factor is how we curate our individual feeds and I feel like it’s the same with Nostr as well.

Twitter was never good, social media can’t be good.

Correction: what made Twitter nice was the cyber hornets moving out of Reddit to avoid theymos moderation on #bitcoin topic. Before that Twitter was only boomers running for elections.

A short character limit promotes a certain type of writing and trains the author to write in a certain way, leaving little room for nuanced takes. This way of communicating has some advantage but many pitfalls as well.

yes make it short and to the point, nobody wanna read book https://media3.giphy.com/media/10PcMWwtZSYk2k/giphy.gif

Two things which made Twitter so polarising was the rage & engage algorithm and the character limit which made sure no one could be understood properly.

But this isn't twitter or facebook, it's nostr. Freedom tech to do as you please, post like twitter, post like facebook, start your own node with limitations of your choosing... isn't that on you?

I thought we were against regulation here

Does Nostr have a short character limit?

How about big posts optionally appearing as short TLDR 140char snippets (edited by author), and the read more button revealing the full post/context. Instead of big posts showing the first few lines on most apps and Read More revealing the rest.

No, this is what made Twitter so horrible, because you were only able to do insults and short gotchas. So everyone would do that rather than write something meaningful and well thought-out. Eventually people become totally insane from all the harassment and low-quality replies. This can be observe...

Speak your mind. Long and short. The current state of the world is to train everyone to be ADD and reject anything longer than a 2 second sound bite or phrase… It’s intentional to make us stupid and make us forget how to converse.

Time is scarce, keep it concise.

That's what i'm saying.. read-filters = boring, write-filters = fun

honestly, we could create a client where you could filter on char length ^^

Twitter isn't good tho. Its just a bunch of insane people yelling at each other all the time
Dissident Sound · 148w
what made twitter good is all the abuse that used to take place there separating the wheat from the chaff. now it's just facebook. character limit is only useful for making subhuman illiterate apes feel like they're equal to brilliant writers.
SwissNode · 148w
not quite... what distinguishes Facebook from Twitter is the audience. On Facebook it defaults to "people you have added" whereas Tweets are public for all to reply to. That's the big difference, not really the character limit...
Fabricio · 148w
Nostr need better algorithm to filter and what show Way too much garbage and translated(bad) posts Be possible to choose the languages you want see the posts will improve the usage
Tanner Silva · 148w
Correct.
