Same.
Once you see it for what it is, it’s hard to spend time there without proceeding to claw out your eyeballs.
Combination of it all.
Haven’t been there in many months and do not miss it at all.
Elon has to make his money back somehow.
It’s a stew of toxicity
The same group will be here one day. 🤷🏻♂️
Probably both. For me the beauty here is that what I see is what I get.. no hidden algos ‘choosing’ for me, ‘directing’ my attention, or attempting to manipulate me into a narrative.
It’s a very different feeling viscerally here and I love it! 😄💜
You can certainly feel them trying to program you.
I would like to dump it completely but I do feel like there is good value in the macro content as well as the diet and fitness content. Not too much in the way of quality #Bitcoin content like there was several years ago.
Agreed. I think the juxtaposition with nostr is increasingly striking. The more I use nostr the less I use Twitter (and the more excruciating I find it).
They do all the feelings there.
The positivity at #nostrasia is the only way.
the disposition of the people still connected to the declining vestiges of U.S empire neoliberalism is getting worse. and as the illusion of empire dies, its flaws become more apparent
And it doesn't even have zaps.
For me it feels like a place I spend 5-10 mins "getting up to speed" but don't engage with much. Outside of dunking on Peter Schiff etc.
I have to say ever since I deleted Twitter, Facebook and Instagram I have been much happier. Life just feels better without all that noise. #Nostr all the way best part is that I'm her because of your
@Guy Swann so thank you very much for introducing me to the world of decentralization
For the love of god, DELETE TWITTER!!!
Got on X for a few minutes yesterday, immediately got into an argument with a complete starnger over trivial matters totally unrelated to me.
Yeah, it's bad.
Same goes for Facebook.
Not giving a shit… it’s an art, one that takes practice.
Tired of seeing fight videos and nothing but misery and suffering on the app.
I just see dead bodies and zionist propaganda, don't know why I bother anymore

Yep. Deleted my Twitter account this week. Finally had enough.
If everyone is uniform in their opinions there is no inciting incodent that cause debate, rage, laughter or engament to happen.
Nostr is chill cus everyone here is a bitcoiner.
If all the bitcoiners are honey potted, bitcoin adoption will be considerably slower.
My account got locked for “suspicious behavior” and they wanted me to jump through some hoops. I took that as a sign that I don’t belong there any more. I spend more time here now. Although I do miss a few accounts over there, it is much better here.
its like you detox and you suddenly become aware of twitter's toxicity..
Loving chill Nostr. I just wish there was more engagement. It’s lame to post and have zero replies here.
I don't understand why waste time in a place where everything is fake. The algorithm masks everything you see on the platform. Honestly, more and more I find the place boring; repetitive.
Agreed. I deactivated my account over the weekend. Haven't missed it.
Yeah the vibe on nostr is just unmatched. It feels like everyone is here to help one another.
Part of me does wonder whether the culture on nostr will transform as adoption expands, or if things will mostly stay the same.
xitter is the nefarious act.
get off the shitter
Clinging on to twitter because it was once good is like clinging onto old friends you no longer have anything in common with. Same with reddit. You wouldn't go there with your Bitcoin questions anylonger.
Let them go and move forward.
First time in 3 years: i logged out of twitter a week ago. Feel liberated.
Yep. I just shut my account down. Then I realize I’m missing out on a lot. Oh well.
For real. I've seen more violence in the last 12 months than the rest of my life combined, bc of the For You feed.
...delete it? 🤷
#nostronly for 2 months; never looked back
View quoted note →Lol I feel you I've been feeling like that for some time, and I randomly got logged out this week and never bothered to login again and its been great
Several accounts I have engaged with regularly over the years have monetized their accounts, and now seem much more into rage-farming than useful posts. It's surprising, to say the least.
Closed my account, never going back to that cesspool.
Agree!
Lots of posts are all the same. Every time.
If it weren’t for the quick news search I wouldn’t be there. Even then it just seems to be getting worse. 🤷🏻♂️
Probably a bit of both. I haven’t missed it since I left in January. The signal can be found elsewhere.
The best thing I did last month was to tweet : Bring back the guillotines
Perma ban I'm out foreva
The X thingie majig throttled us, don't ya know?
:D
But hey we can all go Full Tilt here LOL
You'll have to prove that there was ever a good faith conversation on Twitter in the first place.
That is s very hard thing to do. I cannot recall when I last saw that anyone being challenged by an opponent, on a core point of their beliefs or implications of said beliefs not having responded with a red herring or non sequitur.
View quoted note →You never know who sees your posts!
Sounds like I'm not missing much 😂
It's pretty negative & angry.
I felt myself falling into the drama.
I had to shut it down.
Not a good way to be.
It is much different (and actually good) experience when you browse it passively (via nitter) and just check out the interesting accounts.
Seriously I see the same annoying posts for days and they keep popping up and I never see the stuff I want.
