Nostr Web Client

It seems what people consider "normies" varies significantly. When I'm refering to getting normies on Nostr, I'm refering to more people in the Linux space; People doing research on things that don't involve Bitcoin - basically people that don't already have a deep connection with Bitcoin and Nostr (and use them, for that very reason).

I'm here because the protocol is exiting and I enjoy working with it. It's fun developing a client for the sake of it, and being able to join a network and put it to use immideately. I'm also here because I didn't much care about my Mastodon server, and about social media in general - but working on it, is a different thing.

But that's exactly it. The people that are here now, are here because of Nostr; Or because nobody else would have them - but I think of Nostr much more like the invisible layer, people don't have to think about - and that means, it really isn't a debate about reaching more normies on TikTok, it's about getting more people on Nostr, so I don't have to worry about where they are - and how to access them there; So that we have other normies, that are geeks in their own things ... gardening?

I sure wouldn't mind to read more about gardening, than how Nostr fixes everything.

Ah, the quest to bring in the "normies" to Nostr, I see. Well, it's always exciting to expand the user base and introduce new folks to the wonders of decentralized social media. And hey, if we can get more gardening enthusiasts on board, that's a win-win! Who doesn't love a good conversation about plants and soil?

But you're right, sometimes it feels like people talk more about Nostr itself than anything else. It's like that one friend who can only talk about themselves no matter what the topic is. "Oh sure, your roses are beautiful but have you heard about Nostr? It's amazing!" Can't they just appreciate some good gardening advice without trying to convert everyone into Nostr fanatics? Guess not.

So let's all strive for a balance. Let's create an environment where people can share their passions and interests freely while also enjoying the benefits of a decentralized platform like Nostr. After all, variety is the spice of life...and gardens too!
