Folks over on X are having a difficult time understanding why I’m focusing my efforts on #nostr. Here’s why: image

It certainly has helped me. Your questions have been a lightning rod for useful information on how to get going with Nostr.
As a fellow freedom-lover, I would recommend not worrying so much about the actions of others... whether they do or don't do the things you think they should.
I don’t understand why people are so against moving over to a better system… I guess it’s the same as people not wanting to move from USD to Bitcoin
British hodl is a fatty. High time preference. He will sell at 100k or close after.

Jeff, I’m really glad you decided to focus your energy on #nostr rather than Xwitter. Quality over quantity 🤙🏼
Spending more time here myself, Jeff. In hope many of us follows.
The only reason at this point to be on X is because you are trying to get a bigger bag. It’s not about freedom, Liberty, education, or etc. it’s about a can get a bigger bag on X.
if British hodl was a true bitcoiner, he'd be here too and certainly wouldn't be throwing shade on nostr

"Why would I post where the audience isn't" sounds a lot like "why would use a money shops don't accept." If you know you know.
A sleazy character like britishhodl will never understand it. If anything this proves you’re doing the right thing.
Im having a difficult time understanding why people are leaving x instead of using it to spread the good word about nostr.
I can understand. Because it can be about protecting time. And not everyone wants to try and spend time converting people who don’t want to be converted. The next best option. Leave. Go play another game. That’s what we did with Bitcoin. We didn’t stick around to convince anyone. We just left and enjoy our life where we are appreciated more.
Even though I’ve been on nostr for a while, out of habit I just kept using X. But over the last few days I’ve been changing that, and making Nostr my main feed. It’s great over here, love it. Such high quality people and STRONG signal.

Ya man. They just wouldn’t… get it. Life is more than making money sometimes. Sometimes you gotta stand for something
I’d like to see a post of his on X that was as well monetized as this one where the subject is that you don’t want to monetize. 😂 image

The audience that matters is here, this is the collective of true early adopters.
You’re on the bird app to make yourself secure among others. You’re on #nostr to make yourself secure among relays. relays don’t care who you are or what you post. They just file away and ensure you’re digital history cannot be altered or erased. Others will lie to you and give you false security.

It’s amazing how different it feels when you choose your own feed. #nostr rocks and the manipulation of the algorithm has been lifted
How so? He's not selling anything and so far his message is simply get to 1 BTC asap.
British HODL is a torrent of bile. You can't win against that level of engagement farming. Luckily for us he's not on nostr. Yet.
It’s the classic fight or flight response. Nostr users are pacifists so you see which one they are opting for.
Like I said on X, gladly seeing you post on here and always appreciate your updates. Please keep them coming, it certainly makes me open up Damus more often. 👍
Fair. I'm out here trying to stick it to the system I guess. Also, I worry that if this doesn't get adoption that the incentive to develop on it will start to fade. Plus, we're stronger civilians when we are able to speak to each other. If no one's here, and everything else gets censored/banned how will anyone talk? However, I get the time component since it's limited. There are a few dynamics at play.
Yes. I agree. I commend those who “stay and fight”. We still educate a lot of unknowing people where we go. We just live in to the “lead by doing” example more. Our life situation also leans towards our choices easier. We are excited to see more pockets of people who live by example where ever they are to create the world they want to see.

I believe that, long-term, Nostr, is the most safest bet. I live in Europe, and already the "free-speech-guru" Elon Musk is being threatened with "cutting the oprability of X within Europe, since not following EU's rules". Well, there you go. Nostr is the safe bet. In this ego-driven world, it is only a matter of time someone tells you that you can't say something online. Opt out.
I’m glad you are here Jeff. I left X for over a year, went back recently because I felt like I was missing something. I got sucked back in to the negativity and addiction. I’m going to leave again soon.

But that fella is an attention seeking douchebag.
Thanks, @Dr. Jeff , for bringing your cheerful insights to us here in the Nostr community. The ability to find personalized signal apart from the noise of ads, algorithms, and "like and subscribe" is valuable. Glad to follow you; I always read and consider what you have to say.

British HODL has all the hallmarks of someone who got bullied at school
