damus has like 50k followers and I barely get any engagement. either my posts suck or something changed

Gotta stand up and protect/support your wine guy. Makes me feel fancy having that connection.

Bots. 🤖 lots of bots 🤖

I think I saw someone say that “crypto” content has basically been hidden on X. Which I believe because when I do go to X, I am going to specifically search for bitcoiners who haven’t onboarded here yet and their name is much harder to find even though I already follow them……

Interesting. I noticed that in a search just now but didn't put it all together

You're my Joe guy 🤝

I bought wine because of nostr. I'm not on twitter.

I can never rule out my posts sucking as it's the only thing I can control, but they expressed that things were changing and man I can feel it

X tends to boost content that sparks reactions and encourages conflict. Conflict, conflict, conflict. Conflict gets more on line time, conflict creates more content, more clicks, more views and that creates more money. It's bad monetary incentive.

Not a Hoe, not a No, and never caught in the snow but the one and only Joe

Twitter is not worthy of your time 🚁😁

Unfortunately it is needed rn

You were waiting for this moment 💪

To be fair, the engagement based algos on Nostr do the same thing

I didnt know i was at the time, but im glad i was there and capitalized on it

I would love to be able to ditch Twitter, but we need more nostriches

Engagement is fine, but X is tuned to extreme conflict all the time. I came there for tech and Tesla FSD news and for some time i got what i came for. Months after Musk took over, those topics disappeared and all i get is total opposite of what i want to see. Flat earth content (i shit you not), extreme religion, extreme politic, extreme forms of US politics (even tho i am from Europe and i do not use VPN so algo knows exactly where i am from) etc. I fix it by muting people that spread certain content and algo does not return to my original thing, no, it throws in another non related high conflict topic. Not so long ago i started getting extreme local politician themes on my feed. Like WTF?! I never searched for that content i never looked at that content i never did anything that would let anyone think: "he is interested in this extremist local group". But X algo thinks so.... I have feeling that X algo is set up to provoke you and to create maximum conflict no matter what, because it earns money on interactions that are created in that kind of environment. Yes i do get topics i am not interested about in Nostr too. But those are rare occasions and i don't mind it. It's ok to throw in something new now and than, who knows, maybe it's gonna be something you don't know you will like. Nostr is far from perfect, but it is light year away from X....no..not one....light years. For example, there is no chance in hell i would have interaction with winemaker from US on X....algo would never ever connect us in no way shape or form. And here we are....talking, exchanging our opinions....and i'm not even angry 🤣

Nostr is always there for you

There's a new "tier" system as of recent. You can look it up there

I understand. I’ve got no business to run or product to sell so it’s easy to say nostr only. Someday maybe.

You're in the best place. There are many like you who haven't made the jump. Kudos for taking control 🫡

I def got dropped a tier

Only I have the power to rug me by losing keys

We all got rugged. That's why we burned the fkkr down and re-re-rebuilt here in the promised land

not only Twitter, but also YouTube has meant that users who talk about 'nostr', bitcoin and monero do not reach many people, although it is understood, both Google and YouTube work alongside the US government, it is not convenient for them to go viral systems that can cause them to lose control over users.

The NOSTR deboosting has been consistent for a while, but the Bitcoin one potentially seems massive now

tell me about it... trying to market a business on nostr only is rough at the moment.

Seems like you gotta be everywhere possible for that, but really focused on one or two

And why everyone should delete X Class of summer 2025 View quoted note →

most of engagement comes from quantity and replying these days it's a numbers game reply early to a big players fresh post with high potential of engagement, spin that into a controversial convo (insighftul, if possible :)) and yeah, play to people agreeing with you to gain further followers and traction this is bc of x ppl earning money for engagement now, therefore it being a quantity and not a quality game anymore

Nostr is the place

Now that I’m getting my news here and engagement more than twitter. I might finally ditch it

I even thought there wasn't any algorithm here on Nostr. BTW I share the same experience as you on X.

Same.

Yeah algo change on X seems to shadowban any Bitcoin content it sucks fr

Reborn

Here to rescue you through engagements💪

You're not alone mate 🤙
