Gab is a viable alternative though, they actually follow what Musk only claimed he would do: as long as it's not illegal, you can post anything, and it's moved to an open source Mastadon fork. Better experience than Twitter, longer posts & videos than X, and a huge user base, stores, marketplace, businesses, their own parallel payment system, they accept and promote Bitcoin, and they block Israeli IP addresses (based.)
Is an open, decentralized social media something the world demands if they can post what they want and still use Bitcoin on the platform? Do Notes need to be Relayed and identities/profiles be public/private keys? I don't know but so far it's worked well enough and I hope it gets better. 🤍 The non technical will still struggle a lot to get started here and use Nostr to it's potential though, this is still a nerdy cypherpunk niche thing that I'm not sure is solving a real problem for a lot of people.
Bitcoin gets people rich and it's still hard enough to get people to adopt that and barely interact with it. I don't think it's clear which way the world is moving but I like knowing Nostr is always a backup option to speak, share, and organize, at the very least.
