Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind. image

Silence is one great art of conversation. We should use this art to grow nostr. Convert a centralized platform into ghost towns. Bit by Bit. Topic after Topic Country after Country Audience after audience. 3. Start with Bitcoin community. 2. Then developers 1. Then creators Leave platforms in batches.
โ€œWithdraw your sanction. Withdraw your support. Withdraw your participation in any way you can. Do not try to win the favor of those who have rejected you. Do not try to argue or explain or justify. Withdraw into silence. Leave them to their own devices, and let them see the consequences of a world without mind.โ€ Going Galt ๐Ÿซก

I like this. I was hoping to save my Twitter exit for when Musk installs Doge or some such, my contribution to next monthโ€™s report showing numbers down. Butโ€ฆthis is a good challenge to such an approach.
Good idea. It was odd to me how many people were mad when I left Twitter to return 9-10 months later. Me: Sorry ๐Ÿ˜ข I didnโ€™t realize some of you see online as real life. For that reason Iโ€™ve tried to be more empathetic.

If you dig that book try out A Lodging for Wayfaring Men. It is in the tradition of the cyberpunks. Atlas Shrugged + cyberpunks = ALFWM. You can find an audio podcast with it by @Max called Parallel Society that I thoroughly enjoyed!!
In a time when every other platform deleted my natural remedy video to cure and prevent Coronavirus, Twitter kept it. Jack did, he lost it because of that and it was his everything at that time. Leaving Twitter broke him and he couldnโ€™t do anything about it. I owe him keeping a proof when everything else was getting deleted. No one knew back then how I would develop my gifts, not even me. So I wouldnโ€™t ever leave Twitter and I wouldnโ€™t ever forget how he defended someone that he didnโ€™t know because it was the right thing to do. Once again, thanks Jack.
Itโ€™s funny. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a meme on Nostr. Yesterday someone posted my meme in Telegram, said they got it from Twitter. You donโ€™t even need to post on other platforms to have reach there. Other people will do the work for you.
๐Ÿ’ฏ The craziest example of this Iโ€™ve had was someone on nostr asking for memes for marketing leading up to an event. We started private messaging and they sent me examples memes they liked, including some Iโ€™d personally made. They didnโ€™t know Iโ€™d made them and said they got them from a telegram group Iโ€™m not even part of. I had only posted them on nostr ๐Ÿ˜‚
Fax ๐Ÿ“  People have been using my lifelong work for years to make a profit. All good. ๐Ÿ˜Š Then people want to speak to me about #love and #light ๐Ÿ’กโ€ฆ Bro-Seesters Iโ€™ve already spoke all that into the world. ๐ŸŒŽ Enjoy that role. Itโ€™s nice ๐Ÿ˜Š Donโ€™t come attacking me because I choose to be dance on all colors of space exploration ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ Evil psychopaths are being held accountable but many refuse to accept that. Kindly: donโ€™t speak ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ to me about game development nor theory. My lifetime is #proofofwork ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
Quote from โ€œThe Shape of a Pocketโ€ by John Berger. The pocket in question is a small pocket of resistance. A pocket is formed when two or more people come together in agreement. The resistance is against the inhumanity of the New World Economic Order.
There is something to be said about leaving a trail in your final posts so that people can can know where to find you. Leaving the breadcrumbs for other to follow on the way out ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿฅ–

Maybe taking it out of context, but Is be silent really what helps the hero on his journey to serve the greater good? Was one of Mcaffees last messages not โ€œraise your voiceโ€? Should we be afraid of using our voice?
Self-indulgence and self-conceit are way to heavy. Bitcoin can even reinforce it further because it is for EVERYONE. Surround yourself with people who keep checks on you and viceversa, not bootlickers.
