I’m gonna give X a break for the next month and focus my social media intake only on nostr.
I feel like I already know it’s going to be a healthier choice, but I really want to compare what it’s like, as I’m pretty sure X and all the other SM companies are harvesting our data to elicit emotions that are designed to make us feel unfulfilled and craving more doomscrolling.

Great decision. You wont go back 🫂🤙
I'm doing exactly the same, starting today 😋😎🤩🤙🏼
I ended up deleting Twitter, but I also benefit from taking time off Nostr too.
You made the right choice!!
The memes are better here anyway
I think I'm one of the few that really never took to X / Twitter. I deleted my account when they booted the sitting president and ended up coming back when Elon bought it. I mostly use it for Intel when things are happening as well as the low signal bitcoiners that haven't made it here yet.
Personally I have no real relationships on X.
All my relationships are based on Facebook.
This is the way

Welcome Erik!
Stick around, it’ll be fun😎🙌🏼
still on Twitter, but deleted Facebook, IG and WhatsApp in 2018, thankfully never found out which of my childhood friends wanted to put me in a camp the last couple years.
It's a lot nicer here with a much clearer signal. \m/
Been doing exactly this for the last month and I am feeling much much better already.
X is a brain rotting cesspool, unfortunately.
There is amazing aloha signal on X, but it is a fulltime job to filter out the noise.
YES
Between dead relative memories, and new grand babies posts, clients and customers, real friends... I would be hard pressed... Lol
It does my "x" Twitter account is gone.
GOOD IDEA
FOCUS YOUR ENERGY ON THE WORLD YOU WANT TO SEE
Why be fuel to the fire when you can be be like water and extinguish it?
This is how good people win. 🥇 truly.
Facebook is the biggest harvester of information ever. 🤣
Created to harvest information to feed AI 🤖
PROJECT trends, forecasts etc
Brainwashing & more
But I didn’t “take” to any social media like most people. More of an eye to eye person. Online specifically to benefit others. Prefer being offline completely. Facts.
OK BUT WE NEED MORE CAPS ENERGY WILL HUE ANSWER THE CALL??

X is 💩
Break the X.
Exactly! When I share a meme I got from any other source, my friends are more likely to say they've already seen it. If I share a meme from Nostr, it's more likely to be new to them.
I come here to detox from Xitter and FedBook.
The x algorithm is horrible because feeds from hate and rage
A month is a good break.
It's enough to realize that you're not actually missing out on something valuable.
It's enough to feel the effects of no algorithms on you.
This is Galt's Gulch man, enjoy. 🤙
nostr only ✌️
Currently figuring out Nostr after you mentioned it to me at the conference. BTW thanks for being apart of the book space with us. It was an amazing experience!
Selfishly, I hope you don't go back to X. The more time you spend outside of their platform, the more likely for your new book to come out sooner.
Same vibe
Was just thinking the same thing
WTG!
Great idea. I might do the same.
I’ll do it with you. Tried Nostr-only 6 months ago & somehow X got me back (tough addiction to break)
Nostr only.
Why walk through a war zone if you can stroll through a garden in peace.
all i want.

Good choice 👍
People tend to switch over for good when they run this experiment 😅 its like ejecting a brainworm
such an apt analogy
The portal in on the horizon 💜
wise decision
It’s like quitting smoking cigarettes from what I hear. Good on ya.

But isn't it just a matter of time till companies build the same thing on Nostr? Like relays that feed you addictive crap, right?
