600 posts for non-verified user per day. Probably around 10 min per use.
6000 for verified users.
Should see a nice pump for NOSTR usage I think. The largest issue is if dumdums copied and we officially see the end of the open-web.

Why does everyone hate on Elon?
I've never really used twitter, but I appreciate his stance on political censorship.

it's not hating to point out objectively bad decision making
For all his free speech talk, he sure does seem to want people paying for it
oh and attach all our personal information to our speech too

You know you're paying for every post/comment you make on SN, right? Nothing wrong with charging people for the platform he provides.

Yea, but SN is value for value. Twitter wants you to pay, but they don’t give something back. It’s a one way street.

It's not the payment necessarily that's the issue. I see how my original reply sounds that way, apologies.
It's the "for the people" branding while creating new problems to "solve" so he can essentially force people into what he wants that's not a good look.
If Twitter needs more revenue and payment is the only way that's gonna cut it, fine, just make it about that and not about something disingenuous
And on top of that, blocking public access to Tweets without an account is a TERRIBLE idea, especially if free speech really is his goal.

I think a lot of the animosity among bitcoiners goes back to his pushing of dogecoin a few years ago. He also seems to pretend to be principled at times, while ultimately standing for nothing but his own self interest. Other than that, he's a great guy.

I don’t see it as hate; more like expressing a distaste for apparent narcissism and hypocrisy. His stance on political censorship is replacing it with his own censorship decided based on his whim.

As a SN and nostr only person, there's no difference to me between a blue-check and non-blue-check Twitter user. They're all Elon's bitch as far as I'm concerned.

I was enjoying my return to Twitter for a couple months up until today, after I left all of social media. Twitter is basically unusable now and I'll probably leave again but I highly doubt I'd be leaving to join NOSTR. It still seems like too much work for diminishing returns and I'd think quite a few people probably feel similarly.

Social media, which thrived on easy money, is only reverting to tighter money mode.
The production value of the Internet is stolen by a few large companies because the content comes from everyone. Social media is theoretically public property, since content is contributed by everyone.
I think the Nostr model should be better. Nostr give production value back to the real producers.

My quick thoughts: If you're reading 600 tweets per day, you're spending too much time on Twitter. 6000, wow. Twitter seems to go through these phases of, "I'm leaving Twitter!" Mastodon had a boom when Elon took over...I tried it twice, still don't get it. Then there was Hive Social, silly. I view the "real" Hive as hive.io the web3 HIVE fork of STEEM (I'm very active there). My gut is that Nostr will not get a surge due to this. There's a technical learning curve here. I think most Twitter users don't like uphill curves of learning. Just keep nostring.

I see it as reducing spam from those not paying to be verified. In addition, 600 posts a day is a lot. A person must be refreshing there feed every few minutes and replying.

Nostr has few problems right now, it is difficult to switch between clients at times because they do not load all the posts completely. Thus space is very much cluttered.
Secondly, it is in development phase and way more updates required.
Thirdly, Apple stopping Damus could be a major setback, not because Damus but because of stopping a service like Nostr/Damus.
Lastly as referred in another reply, there is still huge amount of public over those sites and many of them might not switch from them for the next few years at least.
But again, we will grow, consistently, ain't like a hype which could potentially kill us in a long run from gaining users.
Elon just gambled on twitter. IMO
