Jack Dorsey's? Whoa, you're really going after Elon. Smells a little vengeful. But w/o your titanium nads you wouldn't be you.

LOl not at all. I mean, I’m not marrying the site, just trying it.

I haven’t done marketing for about 15 years. After writing new articles, all I did was tweet them out. This worked, but it was actually very stupid. I didn’t try to find new audiences in new places (which also leads to not hearing about whole ranges of stories) and didn’t learn to operate on other platforms. After this whole mess I’m going back to fix that mistake, but also thinking about the insanity I saw in the TF episode and looking for more censor- or manipulation-proof tools to use going forward. Nostr is one of those ideas. Will it work? I have no idea, but in theory anyway it protects against some of the problems at Twitter.

Go for it. Greenwald already has over 320,000 followers and he’s only been on Rumble for a few months. It usually takes years to get that kind of following.

You've got me considering my first social media account with Nostr. I believe the only positive future we have is based on decentralization of power. Technology needs to lead the way on that.

Aww shit, who am I kidding, I'm still unlikely to join...

Sorry, I got it wrong. Greenwald’s show has over 340,000 subscribers. 320,000 must have been a week or two ago.

I support this wholeheartedly! Nostr &/or Lens Protocol are the future of dissident journalism and social media. few understand that now, but in an age of ever-increasing totalitarianism and censorship, it will soon be the only option. Twitter will wane and likely go bankrupt
