Maybe we can point them to a nostr-based Slack/Discord alternative that they can use for team-based assignments. When I was in college I project managed a student group that focuses on OS rocket and satellite designs. We didn't initially get funding from the school. We started out using Slack but for a while switched to Zulip as a free alternative that doesn't delete old messages.
The zoomer generation is trapped in the Apple and iOS universe. It's the biggest proprietary digital prison you can imagine. With the zoomer, we have a generation where technical skills are declining. They can't program in C or Assembler. You can shut down the Bitcoin app with a click of the mouse, and the zoomer are powerless.
I presented on it once at a Young Americans for Liberty meeting at UC Riverside once. Unfortunately there wasn’t much interest. I probably didn’t do the best job pitching it, but it was still interesting that what I thought would be the target audience didn’t want it
IMO colleges and campuses are the places where students live that are overseen by a centralized system. So they like centralization. I think there is a high risk of them not being interested in Nostr because they like if someone oversees and controls them. It's according to Sri Lanka. But the effort is always good. :-)
