Nostr Web Client

Opinion:

Something the people of Nostr need to do better in 2026 is really showing love and support (through follows & zaps) when folks with big accounts on the legacy socials make accounts here.

It's these people's presence that will bring the broader audiences to the freedom protocol. The reason why so many normies create an account and only stay a few days is because all they see is a foreign set of accounts to follow (especially if they're not into bitcoin); so it feels unfamiliar/uncomfortable for them.

The easy solution is to always follow and zap the big names, even if you don't know or care about them. (The bonus is that you may grow to like them - especially as they'll be feeling full freedom of speech for the first time in their content creation career!)

What do you think the Nostr community as a whole should strive to do better in 2026? #AskNostr

I'm so disappointed that Guy Christianson didn't hang around.

I literally comment "if you lost your nsec just make a new account, why aren't you sharing this on nostr?"

On everyone of his videos.

He actually got lots of love when he got here but was only active for 2 weeks and left.

So disappointed, he never even tried to onboard his followers from tiktok.

I'm only here because what's his name, cancel this tshirt company guy, the one that works for Candace Owens now, I'm only here because he made a video about nostr.

But he was also only here for like 2 weeks before he disappeared

It's unfortunate but I still consider it a big win that they've at least been here, made an account, and know it exists.

They will come back when the need for free social media becomes big enough for them.
