Again, all fair points. The last couple days have been a continued downtrend for twitter, and it seems obvious that elons ego will get in the way of the platform being everything it could be. You know, when I look at fiatjafs timeline, I have serious disagreements with what he believes, but it doesn't matter because he doesn't CONTROL nostr in the same way.
I still think the lightning integration into twitter is a stretch, cashapp would be an option, but then we haven't decentralized or censorship hardened anything. Lightning, as far as I understand, in any of its implementations, is still very alpha/beta, promising, but not particularly trustworthy (emphasis worthy).
No question nostr is doing more for its users, and that the cost is far cheaper than that of twitter. Just to clarify, I am not saying nostr is any one app, I understand the difference between relays and clients, my point is that from any angle twitter is more fluid, aside from micro payments I suppose.
Nostr is catching up quickly, but I think people here tend to assume we are immune to problems like bots spamming; I think its more like this platform is still small and its userbase is difficult to deceive, once the first factor changes then the second follows naturally, and the problems will become apparent.
It is certainly the time to burn the bridge to the old world though. Whatever problems this platform has, and whatever good qualities twitter has; my soul is wounded by the lack of self reflection/intellectual honesty that ends up in the trending/news tabs.
I appreciate your offer, this account is temporary though, its nice to get on and like some memes, talk smack and vent until I'm ready for a proper nym.
