πŸ™„ PEOPLE WONT SEE THE VALUE OR UNDERSTAND NOSTR AND BITCOIN UNTIL THEY TOUCH THE PERSONS LIFE IN A POSITIVE WAY. For Christ sakes FB is paying folks to upload videos, while I have to pay for a service to be able to do that here on nostr. Have to pay to go live, the fucking list never ends... Once freedom and privacy become easy and convenient, that's when nostr wins. Until then, yall have fun building shit the general public will never pay for or use and keep wondering "why don't we have more people" πŸ™„
Well while most of the times with almost any startup thats true, in this case it seems to me its not and maybe not microblogging but nostr needs more features. Or some kind of a killer feature Its interesting to build for nostr but tbh I still can’t find anything interesring to consume hete
I am already bugging all my whatsapp friends :-) though i think nostr would ramp up slow cuz the people are really really saturated with social media .. general vibe is how to leave the ones they already have not to add more That said , i believe nostr would gradually scale because the sheer number of clients and the communities that each client brings .. for example , i got hooked to yakihonne.com for long posts and ended up joining their community .. thats giving me traction .. i am sure there are lot of people like me who are on nostr because they contribute , or create for a particular client ..
It's difficult to bring new users in and have them stay. People don't want to manage multiple social graphs. What I do is to highlight the experience of leaving Facebook and X, focus on that, focus how the algorithm is playing with everyone's mind, keeping everyone addicted and not thinking straight, and how liberating it is to be free from that. I find that to be a better approach. Just like when talking about Bitcoin, it's better to just show how the Fiat monetary system is ruining everything. View quoted note β†’
I’m not sure. Maybe better feed algorithms are also very important and necessary for mass adoption. I still feel like my feed ain’t as curated as it could be. And I think average x.com users would have higher expectations about how meaningful their feed should be (more hot and popular notes first, more personalized)
I believe nostr is doing more than fine.. these things take time and new users will only come when more infrastructure is added to suit their needs or when most of their network is already in. most people don't understand the need for nostr, they see it as just another platform and they see no benefit in it whatsoever, only those more involved care and understand the need and benefits it brings. we haven't even met all the early adopters needs, to cater for the rest is still a bit far down the line..
