Open in Damus

@jb55 1678541940

I still have Twitter via the Damus account for mostly PR and tech support, but its so hard to open these days. It feels a lot like watching CNN or something. First thing that was shown to me when I opened it up the other day was a video of two random people fighting ?? Twitter is the new TV.

Everytime I open nostr it feels like hanging out with a bunch of friends. Very different vibe. Hope that never changes.

Don’t worry.. Elon is gonna fix it.. Like he promised.. Any day now..

Same thing happened to me last time I logged onto Twitter. It went from an out of control AI that feed on outrage to one that feeds on pure rage.

Immediately opened tweeter The first post about cannibalism Can you top this? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_5b27feea04d7c627150e474a4545c7e43f3a411bff441f3ff9e11f7c19e82672.png

The reference to CNN is hilarious! …. https://media.tenor.com/aVpaX9O0Xa0AAAAC/thats-some-funny-shit-thats-funny.gif

Nostr is based on love Twitter is based on hate It's this simple.

Agreed. I don’t use Twitter or tv news

Very well said, #[1]…I hope Nostr continues to be elegant and beautiful 🫂 https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_1db1b750c30b4743b4856258a7695b948ff4a0a84bec86e99e082e0c4bffc08c.jpeg

Nah but forreal what’s with the fighting videos that apparently everyone has been seeing nonstop lately?? Also I saw a dude get literally fucking shot the other day. And just blatant animal abuse too. It’s fucking sick. Vile.

got the same. the algorithm thinks fights are cool. thank god nostr does not need engagement to sell ads.

😂😂 …yeah, hope the wholesome vibes here remain forever 🥹🥰🤓😎🥳

This is the way ⚡ #[0]

Which reminds why Nostr is the next big thing. I was thinking the same last night, two weeks on Nostr & I already feel I know many ppl. Way to go ⭐️

Agree. But to me Twitter has been like that for a few years.

I never had a Twitter account. I could never imagine it being fun or that I needed an account. Twitter always seemed a bit aggressive to me. Sorry. Nostr is really fun. I like being here.

I hope so. But when the Noster community grows up, there will be many who disagree with them or do not like their thoughts and dealing with them is very stressful.

I’m really new here. Follow just a few people and am kinda struggling to find more to do so. Sometimes I have the feeling of a closed circle instead of a expanding community. Didn’t left Twitter yet because even though it recommends some random uninteresting stuff sometimes it gets it right.

It’s calmed down, but a week or two ago it seemed like everything on my Twitter For You page was a video of someone fighting or dying.

Remember all of a sudden it seemed like only boomers were still on FB a few years ago? Web2 social dropping like flies.

There’s a reason for the Dunbar number and Nostr let’s me curate it just like I do in the real world. I don’t look for friends in dangerous places but Twtr promotes the idea that algos can think better than you to find what you like but instead hijacks thinking to find things your amygdalae ...

Twitter is the legacy system.

Twitter - The Don Lemon of Social Media

Right? Same here. Every time I open it it's people physically fighting . It's getting too negative.

I stay for the news content and friendships/ community..

Definitely. Haven't used Twitter since March started and I'm pretty happy with it. Only entered a few times to find the npub of a few people I wanted to follow and it felt pretty harsh in there

It will change as we scale, but algorithms will help us tailor our experience to maintain the vibes. I imagine an extension store, like browsers have, but for algorithms you can add-on to a Nostr client. #[2] has mentioned a vision like this.

The substrata of reality based values of Bitcoin upon which Nostr is built has attracted people with the same values because like attracted like. Some of those values being, a radical acceptance of reality, authenticity, honor, holding themselves and others accountable to their greatness, being en...

Yes, that’s why #MarchOffTwitter, and probably April, May, June and the rest of the year to. Or we’ll start promoting Nostr again in April.

Have 2 suggestions. First, save the state of posts & post and replays. And restore it after new open. Also if you are reading a thread if you go back is fine but if you push the home button you go from the begging. My suggestion is the home button should Act as back if you are in the thread and seco...
