Tried. It's like bringing non-bikers to a biker bar. Just doesn't work. No matter how good you tell them the beer is they take one look around and go 'cleary not for me', then see ya.
Discussion
I think this highlights what social media has truly become for a lot of people; entertainment.
If it was about connecting with friends, the "Following" feeds would be all we need, but the "FYP" dominates.
There's no difference between turning on the TV and opening TikTok/Instagram for a lot of people. They want stimulus and entertainment.
I don't think so. It's just a question of people not being interested in bitcoin, but when then check out Nostr bitcoin is absolutely unavoidable. If you don't find bitcoin, bitcoin will find you. There's no escape.
Would you stay around if you found a new social network protocol but everything on it was people discussing Warhammer 40,000 and there was no way you could escape it Warhammer 40,000 no matter how you tried?
Yeah I get what you're saying but I think it still ties back to what people expect in a social network nowadays, which is near-immediate satisfaction upon arrival.
Agreed it's impossible to avoid btc convos regardless though, which makes switching to nostr hard and retention even harder
Yup, feels like if other communities are to take root it'll have to be in a space where they are fully insulated from the hyperbitcoin community here, as in a technical barrier. Maybe even a soft fork.
All the bitcoin talk on Nostr is a turn off. I try to keep my following feed to what I want to see, and so far it's tolerable.
I onboarded my mom, grandma, boyfriend, friends that paint, knitt, photograph, juggle, slackline. I also gave all of them some sats so they can zap so now they are bitcoiners or what 😂
How active are they now is the question.
More active than on Bitcoin network 😂 and made more posts about their trade than about Bitcoin - active enough to make my point :)
List thenpubs, I'll happily follow!
Check #artlist first, I didn’t onboard them but that’s non Bitcoin content I aggregate

To make your point I cannot find a few more npubs quickly cause that’s how inactive they are. This reminds me to do better. And for you: do better :D if you don’t try you don’t succeed. Gotta go to work now:D
