I don't understand how you don't have anecdotal evidence that beats any data
If Facebook says the majority of its users have never posted or replied to anything, I know based on the time I spent on Facebook with my classmates and other locals that Facebook would either be lying or misreading their own data (taking bots as humans? idk)
But I do have anecdotal evidence as well. I am the main customer support channel for Amethyst. I end up talking to a lot of people. The passivity is quite visible with many users.
They don't want to post. It's a whole different mindset. They are here to learn and observe. Not to post. It's actually very interesting and the main reason why so many of Amethyst's features are dedicated to readers instead of writers.
As I said, the goal should be to have Amethyst trade places with Facebook
You shouldn't want nostr to be the place so empty even the average nostr user has never posted here
But that is the goal. And if we are going to replace it, we will have to make it good for readers most of the time.
Forcing people to post is not good. They decide when they are ready to post. We can guide them there, but part of being the "freedom platform" is to allow users to be whoever they want to be. Otherwise, they will end up hating us in the same way they hate Facebook.
So you developing faster horse drawn carriage’s ? Giving people what they think they want now , not what nostr needs ? Who’re these people learning from ? People who post ?
Nobody is developing what nostr needs. Ever.
We develop what users want. Nostr is just the current combination of those features.
What are you gonna do if someone actually starts developing what nostr needs 🦇
Let them develop? I don't know what you want me to do with them...
I just hope you're prepared 🗽
I will always be on the side of users. If majority wants it, I will develop. Other people are happy to develop whatever they think is good for nostr. Just don't complain when they don't have any users.
Readers need nostr to have notifications so the people who fill threads with replies can find the threads and reply
