im nostr only. only way i use X is, i see some tweet somewhere like on a yt video or a screenshot on nostr, etc. and i go and reply or like the tweet or follow people.

Someone mentioned this to me the other day: Repetition compulsion: The unconscious tendency to recreate past, often traumatic, situations or emotional dynamics.

Humans look different on the surface, but are pretty similar under the hood.

I also quit X long ago because of the banning and shadowbanning. After my 3rd ban I created my Nostr keys. I think after the 5th ban I stared using Nostr regularly. After being banned couple more times I completely abandoned X. @Erik Cason X algos make the experience shit. There certainly are interesting people on X and I would recommend to you using Xcancel to just read people on X who are interesting to you. That way you route around the fucking algo and the bans too (if you have had problems with it). Nostr is the place 🤙

I wasn’t shadowbanned and had a decent reach on Twitter (4k+ followers). The wake up call for me was when one night instead of chatting with my wife about nice things, I was busy arguing with anon retards for *hours*. The next day I deleted my account, and I’ve been on Nostr ever since.

My problem was not about the reach but about the suppression of free speech. I often got banned after posting about Bitcoin in ECB or similar thread or posting something about Israel. And I had more hope that Elon will fix even better the shit that Twitter had turned into. I actually joined X after Elon bought it.
