Spending it in Twitter jail still?
crazy
You helped make the world I grew up in suck.
In return, nostr will someday help make the world suck for you to be old in
If Twitter wasnโt invented, nostr wouldnโt have been discovered.
Without Twitter, there would not have been so many social software.

All rely on copy Twitter products. That's why social media thrives today.
History will remember Twitter.
History will also remember Dorsey's contribution.๐ซ
It was a before and after ๐๐ผ Tnk @jack
Happy Tday

It's been a helluva ride...
How does it feel to have been the captain for a long time and now to have let go of the helm?
You have given the world a master-piece. Itโs a shame what it is now.

Twitter's product structure is well designed.
The true "ancestors" of social media.
you are really great ๐.
Been there since October 2006! ๐ฅ
I think Twitter is more like the "excellent child" you raised.
These 19 years of Twitter have made you a public figure.
Now many media reports that you must write about the founder of Twitter.
News with Twitter must mention your name.
huh. imagine that. ๐๐ค๐ป
I created my Twitter account in 2008 (17 years ago), and it quickly became my only real "social media" presence.
One highlight of mine on Twitter was tweeting about bitcoin in 2009, the first tweet on the platform with the word "cryptocurrency" (yes, Satoshi used it on the SourceForge page where the repo was originally hosted).
After a couple of years, I decided to switch the account to pseudonymous since years before I had emigrated resolutely into anarcho-land, and was becoming more vocal with my radical (I use this term positively) views. Mainly, I didn't want to cause strain in meatspace relationships, nor unnecessarily draw the ire of state agents. Also, nyms are just cool.
At some point in the past 6-8 years or so (pre-Covid) I started noticing less engagement across the board. People would tell me they couldn't see all of my posts or replies, and had to navigate directly to my profile to see anything. I was shadowbanned.
My hunch with no proof is it was voicing my anti-voting opinions; I do this every election cycle, but 2016 was a particularly difficult one for the statists. Of course it could be even with my account longevity, having a nym handle and no phone # associated with my account tripped the algo eventually. Whatever the reason, I wasn't even that upset, since I couldn't care less about dopamine hits from follower counts or likes. What I do care about is disseminating ideas that strive toward truth.
I spun up a npub in December 2023, essentially migrating my nym from Twitter which I wasn't using much by that point, anyway. After maybe less than I year, I decided to throw caution to the wind and created a meatspace account, a small window into the complex and strange ecosystem that is my psyche.
A part of the Nostr dream for me, among many other things, is that heterodox thinkers โ who live (and thrive) in the margins of polite, intellectual society โ can't be silenced effectively, even when what they are saying might be uncomfortable to the status quo. I control my data, identity, and voice, not a corporation or state.
The Ditigal Age is upon us. And while there are still dark storms in the distance, the horizon is slowly getting brighter. A new dawn is coming, and I'm here for it. #Nostr
Thank you jack. 19 years is a personโs youth.
The next 10 years belong to Bitcoin, Nostr and AI, letโs keep moving forward.
Without Jobs, no one in the world would have used smartphones. Without Dorsey, there would be no current "rising" of social media, and Twitter would break the traditional media monopoly on "the right to speak" news and information. Anyone can express their opinions and ideas on social software.
2 years OFF Twitter this month.. #nostrONLY ๐๐ซก

Iโm glad we found nostr cheers to that ๐ฅ
It's wild how the original mission got perverted and hijacked

do you still use the old app anywhere?
I joined the bird site 18 years ago, and while it wasn't really anything exciting to me for the first few years, I had fun with some folks on there between 2011-2018-ish, then it started to drop off a cliff, even for the anarcho-liberty crowd I had somehow aligned and cavorted with. So I have no regrets, and if it wasn't for twitter, I'd have not likely shifted my views to anarchism/agorism online as easily as I did. Cheers to the old bird app, I wouldn't probably be on nostr had I not had you first ๐ฆ๐
PS - I haven't really used it since September of last year, and I don't miss it, just maybe some of the humans I connected with, whom I'm trying to switch over to here.

15 years ago we were using Twitter to tell parents the softball game was over. We had no idea what else to do with the 140 character limit.
I am a bitcoiner because of twitter. My news was twitter. Now I am a nostrich san X because of twitter. Loved the journey along ๐๐ผ
Thank you, Jack!

Twitter was THE social network for me. Providding exactly what I looked for. Now I am finidng those dame vibes with nostr!
Mr. Dorsey, itโs called X now. Twitter exists only in your memories. Is it really so difficult to fully embrace Nostr? Why?
I know ๐ right???
#nostr is the best place to be ๐ช๐๐ซก๐ช๐ช๐ช
Nostr is a state of mind.
Testing for this noteโฆ we made seven attempts toโกzap this note, at evelin@getalby.com, over a period of 1 minute. All seven attempts were successful. Average zap time was 4407ms (4.4 seconds). We consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (Other Nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) We recommend you receive zaps with a well-connected, cloud-based Lightning node to maximize zap speed.

Congratulations @jack !!๐๐ฅณ๐ฅ๐พ๐คIt is truly remarkable how Twitter has fully bounced back. You made the right decision for Twitter darling. Now, Twitter is thriving and doing well. So is nostr, differently.๐๐Elon just raised *$1 BILLION* dollars for Twitter in just a few hours last week. And now, nostr is the future.๐ฃ๐ชบ๐ฆ๐ฉต
