I used to spend three hours a day on Twitter.

One year ago, I deleted my account.

Now I’m only on Nostr, and I spend maybe ten minutes a day scrolling.


The difference is extraordinary.


The noise is gone.


The manipulation is gone.


And when I leave, I don’t feel drained, I feel uplifted.

That’s when I realised something important:
the new system isn’t just technically superior. 
It’s psychologically healthier.

But the real question is this:
how do we help people transition?

The answer is monetisation.

When creators can earn directly from their audiences, without platforms, advertisers, or banks, they will come.


When they come, they’ll bring their communities with them.


And when those audiences can earn by promoting what they love, the migration becomes inevitable.

That’s what Fanfares makes possible :
a media economy where the network itself becomes the discovery engine.


Every person who finds something valuable becomes a paid promoter of quality.


No algorithms. No ads. Just trust, consequence, and value flowing peer to peer.

Decentralised, open networks are not just better technology.
 They’re the next phase of human communication.


They are where attention becomes aligned with meaning again, 
and where we finally reclaim our time, our minds, and our freedom.

Love it, realised I deleted my Twitter slightly over a year ago. Maybe spend more than 10 minutes a day, but every so often, what I write here actually means something to me, rather than me writing something then self censoring to prevent the rozzers turning up at my door at 1am in the morning. http...

Anything that can bring in more artists and creators is a good thing 🫡

This will also mean that a bunch of people with "huge followings" will come here thinking their content has immense value, when in fact it dosn't 🧐👍🫡

Totally agree! 👍🏻

Awesome. I have wen the extra mile and deleted all social media; Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok. I am more productive and my mental health has improved tremendously.

Noticing how you feel is so valuable. I also remember when I’d get off X I’d often times just feel like dog shit.

Still can't get a working wallet that can send and receive zaps. Still need lots of work, but there's hope

I can get behind this. 🫡

This. Exactly this! Nostr is your experience I wish I would have deleted Twitter when you did. I’m a noobie, only a few months in

Reading this makes me nostr bullish.

#Nostr is the best.

Nostr is great

So far I have only blocked the X feed on my desktop. Never visit it on my phone anymore because I know how much it will drag me into doomerism

Have to agree. Still have some X accounts, rarely go on there. Many have been deplatformed, mainly for incorrect AI judgement and then we find out that their AI automatically rejects appeals.

I deleted my account last week. All in.
Iggy · 50w
Agree, been comparing the two recently. Twitter is way more addictive and Nostr provides way more value ⚡️

Most content creators monetize their advertisers, not their followers. With that premise it is not profitable for him to come to #nostr Still 👀

That's why I deleted my tweeter...nostr is home 🏠

There is nothing better than aligned incentives that result in better mental health and community connection 💜 #nostr rocks

Deactivated my account on twitter for similar reasons for the second time this year. I think I might just manage to stay away this time.
