every time I open X they shove the most stupid US culture war into my face. feels like that has become the main purpose of the app. every post in "for you" is some form of degenerate left vs. right propaganda and the comments are both sides dunking on each other in the meanest possible way. erosion of civilization.
this is not how the world works but an ever growing number of people experience reality exclusively through social media. when you feel upset consuming media, question the source of your anger. any information you absorb on X is filtered for maximum engagement. any emotional response you have is pre-programmed. you're not making your own decisions. you're a bot.
the Internet is designed to trigger you. In this game of humans vs machines, you lose if you get triggered.

Nostr only💆
Few steps away from pod filled with amniotic fluid.
Leave X, get alive. 

*this Internet*
We can and will do better. ✊

Make sure you’re playing the right game.

Don't open X?
it's either that or porn. Shitty content no matter where you look
Why do you keep using twitter? Sadomasochism?
GM wonderful #nostrplebs
A wonderful post on a sunday morning from @calle
Let's get out of the exposure of social media algorithms! It's a matter of life or death for our souls!
Life without algorithms is possible - #nostr

This is why we left Twitter, Facebook, Television, Radio and others for NOSTR a couple years ago.
It's not the real world at all but it is what the real world is groomed to be by those who generate income from turmoil. It's a public toilet. It's the equivalent to shitting on the side of the highway.
"Fr fr, it’s wild how the app's turned into a battleground for clowns on both sides 🤡. But real talk, how do we break free from this echo chamber and see the world for what it really is? 🤔 #StayWoke"
yeah i mean just put the phone down and walk around your town and talk to local merchants
i think it's ok to confess that i use X to mainly watch Japanese AV...

yeah it’s pretty bad over there
This is why I will never go back. Ask yourself why you still do.

> "In this game of humans vs machines,"
I'd say it's more like *"a game of humans vs humans with machines."* 🤖💡

Delete your X account. I don't regret that I did it myself.
Luckily I don't use social media. Except for nostr 😁
Why are still there though? As my uncle @less would say "don't feed the system that feeds off you"
*maximum enragement
👌😊
Staying away is only1 decision away, for each & every one of us 🤩
🎯💯
Truth bomb ☝🏼🧡💜
Not humans vs machines, but humans vs humans using machines
i think if calle was nostr exclusive more bitcoiners would use nostr and less would use x
This is exactly the main purpose my friend.
They want us to live in fear and to fight each others while they are looting the system to a limit.
Bitcoin and Nostr are not optional; they are necessary if we want to remain sane in a sick world.
Im having problema interacting with real people in Nostr, its nice to read you
because its hard to find real people in this platform, for newbies at least
It's weird that more bitcoiners haven't just swapped over at this point.
I've long used lists on twitter/X to see what I want on there (namely intelligent posts from ppl worth following). If you do this (+ an ad blocker) then it vastly improves the experience.
Yea it seems lots of people like “ATTENTION” in various areas of life and X gives them fiat from ads and dopamine hits.
It’s all rage bait I can be on for like 3 posts before I have to close it
I think of Nostr like a forest monastery. You're mostly preaching to the converted. If you believe the message can help people then it's important also to spend time where the people are. It is possible to have a compassionate and productive presence on X.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
🎯Antisocial media
you were once just like that, a part of it
That's the problem of communicating through a screen. Not sure how Nostr can fix that.
I decided that it was an insult to my intelligence and left
I lose IQ points every time I open X.
Regain them every time I reply on nostr
More bitcoiners would use nostr
is getting criminally worse now that the algo is obviously working to push elon's new found political agenda and persona

I am incredibly glad I gave nostr another go I've been feeling the same., every post is bait, everyone is trained to bait and it's just all so tiresome. This place feels like the internet in 2003 and its amazing

100%. it's becoming unbearable!
I know larger accounts on X and honestly you don’t have to give attention to it. It’s not easy but I still use X as it has its purpose.
the reaction economy
I've used X for signal. Remain anon and refuse the blue check.
My opinion there doesn't matter.
Then just don't use For you, and listen only to sane people who don't know Nostr yet
Centralised media is designed to obtain people’s attention and maintain them obsessed with content. More like a political tool than a freedom tool.
With #nostr and #bitcoin we are capable of being direct owners of the information we consume and publish. More like a commodity for everyone.
Not sure masses can become immune to propaganda. Asked AI and the answer was interesting:
Understanding Immunity to Propaganda
What is Propaganda?
Propaganda is communication aimed at influencing an audience's beliefs or actions, often using selective facts or emotional appeals. It can be found in various contexts, including politics, advertising, and media.
Why Are We Vulnerable?
No one is naturally immune to propaganda. It exploits our existing beliefs and emotions, making it easier to manipulate our perceptions. Techniques like simplification, exaggeration, and emotional appeals are commonly used to bypass rational thinking.
Building Resistance
To build immunity to propaganda, consider the following strategies:
Critical Thinking: Always question the information you encounter. Ask yourself about the source, intent, and evidence behind claims.
Education: Learning about propaganda techniques can help you recognize them. Educational programs are increasingly focusing on this topic to equip individuals with the skills to discern truth from manipulation.
Open Dialogue: Engage in respectful discussions. This can help counteract the effects of propaganda by exposing you to different viewpoints and fostering critical analysis.
Psychological Inoculation
Research suggests that exposing individuals to weakened forms of misinformation can help build resistance. This concept, known as psychological inoculation, allows people to develop cognitive defenses against more potent propaganda.
Conclusion
Immunity to propaganda is not about being completely unaffected; rather, it involves developing awareness and critical skills to navigate a complex information landscape. By fostering open-mindedness and engaging in informed discussions, individuals can better protect themselves from manipulation.
Most people are brainwashed and don't even realize it. Everyone thinks they have their own opinion, but in reality it is forced on them one way or another. Rarely are there people who think and come to their own conclusions.
still better than talking about sats, zaps, wallets, apps nobody wanna use all day lol
They still hooked on that titty
delete it
I uninstalled X for this reason. It maximizes engagement by rage-baiting.
this post triggered me
I delete after the claimed my knife and tool Sharpening business violated there community standards. I think Elon has been compromised. There is clearly a huge attempt to seed a civil war in the United States.
lol he can't
his entire personality is based on clout chasing
