I deleted my account before Elon bought it. I used Nitter to checksome accounts after that but Elon has blocked every access to the site apart rom those with accounts so there's no way for me to see anything now. It's a shame but I'm not going back & it's been a couple of years I prefer life with less social media anyway.
Get a graphene os so it will get harder to go back to twitter, as the clients on fdroid sucks.

Grow up. Leave your x
I'm considering to quit X also. I will definitely not miss any Bitcoiner here 😂
rather than delete it why don't you tweet that you've moved here and leave it like that, change the banner to a nostr ad, i'm going to do that with my twitter
Other than YouTube, I'm all in on nostr. Never looked back. I'm about 3mos in. I using Odysee to help ween me off of YouTube. Then I'll slowly phase over to lightning.video you're gonna love it here. Hello and welcome 💪🏾😁👍🏾
🔥 I’ll be following to see how it goes! I’m likely not far behind.

You’ll head back to Twitter. They always do. I’ll be amazed if you make it 10 days. Oh, and welcome.

The big accounts. They always go back. The pull of the algo is strong. Small fish like us, we stay. We good. You good.
Define big? I bet I'm taller than him. Maybe even weigh more. Plus my kids do what I say. I'm the big account round these parts. I've got the signing devices. I've got the UTXOs. ;-) The pull of the freedom algo is stronger. Eventually they'll come here. Maybe also for the zaps.

There is a line that separates the mans from the kids.
I am positive that once you try #nostr, you are going to stick with it. It's better than any other social media and protocols. Welcome 😊

Some tips: use invidious to ditch the youtube website, there are alot of big tech alternative front-ends to use to resist their abusive terms and conditions. And alot of freedom here.

Less plates less problems.
It's a little odd the withdrawal from the algs... But believe me. You are relieved once you're through it.

Just find one friend and follow all theirs? Follow widely and then post use the ones that bore you. After coming so late you need to be putting more work in than this. No one owes you anything, go back to Twitter if you want algos
Welcome to Nostr. Congrats! I know the feeling, I deleted my somewhat large main account in 2022 and haven't looked back since. Though I have noticed many do keep theirs around (Snowden and so many more) so I do have a "reconnaissance" account there. But that should be started fresh with no attachments to you. It's good to have around for OSINT, not for actual use. Enjoy the "free" trial. Nostr is awesome. I recommend using a VPN to keep your IP from being exposed to the relays. Just like the internet in general 🤙💜

Almost all people here are 👀
Welcome. The road is still under construction so the scenery isn't great, but the destination is immaculate.
Yeah man, I'm here too, not very much interaction. Not that I post anything phenomenal but used to be we all followed other bitcoiner accounts and talked the shit. maybe just not enough people here yet but I get hardly any follows and hardly any interaction. I've tried this a few times so far with similar results. I think it gets a little better each time

You won’t regret the decision. Welcome, looking forward to your notes.
I guarantee that your experience will be much pleasant and constructive here on Nostr, I deleted X 3 months ago - it was the best decision ever made, here I can earn #Bitcoin, no post limits, no community notes, no troller in chief, no ads or campaigns, no clickbait or bots, no politics propaganda and surely no subscription payments. You can use Damus on ios or Amethyst for android, including Primal for web.

Day 3 I woke up this morning and didn't automatically reach for my phone and start scrolling through my twitter feed. I didn't realize how much that consistently affected my mood and mindset for the day. This feels like breaking a severe sugar addiction. Sometimes I still reach for my phone, searching for the app (now deleted). Dopamine and outrage is the product. View quoted note →

Day 4 Still here It gets quiet from time to time and that's ok Learning to accept the tides rolling in and out, instead of a the constant stream of content through a firehose

It’s nice to have little breaks
I find this interesting. I singed up to twatter when it was first released. Decided not interested within 48 hours. I got on it in 2022 for curiosity and followed people that popped up on both sides. Both sides of whatever quite frankly. From Covid to vax to climate change to politics and economics. Whatever. Just to watch. I tried interacting with the odd innocuous question to posts. On one viscerally abusive response from a tenured professor I actually responded asking why the abuse considering I simply asked a question on a technical elaboration. His answer was “I’m really sorry, twitter does this to me sometimes”. I found it easy to close the account. It’s very sad as without the toxicity, it had the potential to be a global commons. Nostr certainly has the potential to rectify this division creation matrix. Good luck with cold turkey detox and enjoy mental freedom. Maybe best to leave the phone alone for a while too. Go for a walk in the morning instead. Smile and talk to those you come across

Day 5 People have started to reach out to me to check on my wellbeing. "Suspended, surely. It was a matter of time." They're stunned that this is a voluntary decision. As I learn about and discuss Nostr, I feel exactly as I did on the topic of bitcoin a decade ago - mostly blank stares, confusion, and eye rolls. The sparks of understanding and insight are addictive. I want to share it with the world, though I know from experience most will not be ready. In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to true prophecies, but never to be believed. We, as bitcoiners and nostriches, have the curse of Cassandra. Right, but early. Most won't believe us and it can drive us mad if we let it. I'd like to believe we can always play the role of touchpoint, even if we're not the ones carrying someone across the finish line in every instance.
