Just unsubscribed from Twitter Blue. Everything @ODELL keeps telling us about that service is true. It's deeply disturbing. Nostr and Bitcoin are our hope people!

You are literally the best man, always walk the talk, always opening to changing your mind and adapting, and always willing to bring relevant information forward to your audience! You have done so much for my mental model of life.

Big and important move! Thank you for your leadership on this matter. I am with #[1]​ #[3]​ you and so many others who are committed to put there time and energy into freedom technology.

Happy you’re here, your content is legit the best , thank you sir!
And it’s only just beginning if Elons aim is to build a copycat of WeChat speaking as someone who uses that app on a daily basis. You can’t operate here in #china without WeChat (or Alipay).

Obviously we know the phrase “if it’s free, you’re the product”… Wild how Twitter blue has people paying to make themselves into a better product

I did the same thing last night. I felt like an idiot after listening to Odell 😅 thanks Matt and Preston for all that you do, I learnt a lot from your recent podcasts.

#[1]​ you owe Preston a hat now 🤙🏼
*Jesus is our Hope bro. :) But, I think he gave us these tools right in time.
I subscribed for only a month and after I cancelled it my blue checkmark was still there, I’m assuming you are going to keep your checkmark as well.
Twitter suspended my account for no apparent reason since he changed it to X.
We already live in parallel worlds: those with Bitcoin and Nostr and those in "main" stream.
Yeah #[0] told the things that I knew somewhere deep in my heart. Elon started with a good hero giving hope for the future and now he is revealing his true face. It seems he doesn’t care about humanity. 👇 #[0]
I feel you are right! What are, in summary, the disturbing points you discovered (from yourself and/or others) Thanks... and cool - just found out primal.net allows copy-paste of images to notes (small aside there)

If you only listen @odell and @saylor you'll be free. And no fees.
Way to go Preston!! And thank you @ODELL for constantly shedding light into dark places!

I am just playing with terawatt now - its just like one of those N-E-S-W text based games i really enjoyed as a nipper; .Go into Cave .N. .Fight Wizard .E. .Take Bridge to .W. .Return to Sunny Glade .S.
As soon as I DL my data today, I'm putting my profile on ice for at least one year waiting to see how the X thing implodes. Elmo is about to get his ass sued off by other x copyright brand holders. Wait and see. The Blue Bird may be a phoenix, or it may just have been a gas fire.

Ditto, but once a Xitter account is identify-verified, can that be undone?
Respect. Surely it ain’t easy given the follower base you built over the years. But you are doing what’s right, not what’s easy
yeah i was riveted by the podcast with Pete - am totally on the same page! Blue check marks are the first slippery step on a very slippery slope... and by fixating on price and not identity-checking Elon is one super-sneaky motherfucker...
i love the way i can say motherfucker without hesitating. I found myself always hesitating, wondering whether the Twitter algo would "tell me off" and suggest I edit the post... THAT is what freedom is like: not having to worry about a word you use...
