I anticipate 75% of all new people will bounce back to X because they are hooked on the doomscrolling. It takes a good amount of time and deleting your account cold turkey to shake the addiction.
But, they’ll be back in 5 months wondering why they left in the first place.

I'm back after 5 months. I suspect the election will pull me back to X, unless there's an account here that publishes election news🤔

Politics is a religion, drop that paganism son
This was my exact path to Nostr only, for what it's worth.
You will stay once you realize, that is all theater and it's not worth your attention.
I don't understand why people use X or Instagram. Or even WhatsApp, all stupid people use those platforms, it's like login in with a vaccine certificate and they talk about politics and sports all day.
Only time can tell, but its def an exciting moment in history
Came back after a year of absence.
UI and speed improved a lot (Primal 👍).
But still network effects for X are huge.
That addiction connected sense of deprivation lasted a couple of weeks for me. 😉
Yes the addiction will definitely kick in and people will go back and forth. It’ll be a struggle, but hopefully we can kick the addiction at some point.
People get hooked on the drama.
It takes a while to separate from it.

Hm, dont think I will delete Twitter. Im still interested in whats going on in the world and not inside a sealed ecco chamber which nostr is atp. Not saying it wont evolve but ignoring the world outside bitcoin is not the way imo
Much to be said about this which will go unsaid.
So true
I don't watch politics to worship anyone, neither to uphold the political system.
Simply staying informed
doomscrolling is real
the emotional trigger addiction engineers over there do a good job
But you can doomscroll on Nostr
My feed usually ends fairly quickly with old content I’ve already seen below that.
Ah, right. Haha I nearly forgot that Twitter doesn't have that "feature"
You’ve got a point.
Sounds like you aren't following enough people.
