The August 2023 Twitter experience :
-“For you” feed is high noise, low signal experience intended to manipulate your feelings to you think in a certain way.
-“Following” feed now has Ads every other post, posted through blue checked shills advertising pure scams (NFTs/shitcoins/drop shipped crap).
-Every semi-interesting post has replies filled by ultra low value posts from blue checked shills farming engagement/views to get their $100 wire.
Until a few weeks ago I could still curate a “following” feed with interesting people / high signal posts, but these days are clearly over.
It’s a shame because I’d say 80% of the people I follow on Twitter aren’t on nostr (or they’re here but not active).
I hope we can get more “famous” people like jack (npub1sg6…f63m) LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a) and others using nostr as their “genuine” social media platform so we can get more traction and go for a snowball effect, so we can finally ditch the panopticon Twitter has become.
