We both know that. But someone totally new won't know that. They probably won't even know how easy it is. They may just want the private messaging app, not joining a whole new microblogging platform. It seems to make total sense to give out all options for this sort of company update/troubleshooting thing. Whatever people are already on. Twitter, nostr, Bluesky, whatever.

No need to add a another step.

And let the app speak for itself as a longer term advert for Nostr. It could bring in more people if it did have mass appeal.

I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic on this. I am now a white noise evangelist

-'hey you know that private messaging app we all use? you know you can also do that to sign up to microblogging'

-'woah I didn't know nostr did microblogging I thought it was just for messages'

This is my unrealistic scenario lol. But I live in hope lolol

Nah. Karnage is right. Don't go where the people are if you want your app to be successful. Stay exclusive to the niche micro-blogging protocol that has a user count that's a rounding error. That's the ticket.

Only on nostr will people are for reasons not to use nostr 🤦‍♂️

This protocol deserves a slow and painful death.
