How can we make #nostr grow faster than centralized social media platforms, onboard more people here and open their eyes? In my opinion, besides censorship resistance and bitcoin, it is missing something. What could it be?

The fiat aspect. People are still addicted to the buzz. #Nostr is real, but these folks are flying high in the imaginary world.
Have a celebrity who uses it. His millions of followers will come.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m what’s your friends feedback on the nostr ? I bet you tried to peach it to them.
Influential figures like future POTUS Robert F. Kennedy Jr. initially joined during the #Bitcoin2023 Conference and expressed enthusiasm for engaging with the #nostr community. However, despite ten months passing, his follower count remains at a mere 4,500. Consequently, he and his team continue to invest their efforts primarily in centralized platforms like Twitter.
What steps can Nostrich leaders take to enhance their welcoming approach, especially for individuals who are hesitant or unable yet to fully transition away from Twitter?

I’m really loving the ability to login from one nostr app to another with the same account, but without all my personal data being siphoned by an SSO provider like Google. I think if we get more high quality content across different apps, it will go a long way.
THIS - the interoperability #nostrability is the differentiating feature of #Nostr
It’s missing content. It’s a good place for bitcoin content but not for much else. This stuff takes time to build.
Agreed, and the current community should be welcoming to that content. Bitcoin may be the Apex, but there is a whole world of financial opportunities out there. Real ones. Let's talk about them.
I would like to see more macro, health, AI, robotics, security, etc. I miss that content from Twitter.
I personally don’t want any financial / investment content. I’ve realized that there’s no point in investing in other assets because nothing really outperforms bitcoin over time. I’m not a speculator so I don’t gamble with my capital. I just buy and hold for retirement.
Just continue to derive & provide value on Nostr as you see fit while remembering that value is subjective.
It's a 10x better protocol that the centralised bullshit other App platform's use.
We don't need to do anything more than that for Nostr to become the dominant protocol.
More clients & features will come as we discover & scratch our own itches.
I don't think that this process should be expedited.
I like also Organic 🚀 what i feel tho our responsibility is is to present the information that Nostr exists to as many people as we can or want or feel (no obligations). Rather is a duty just to inform and remind about values and principles by walking the talk. Meaning being the example. 🚀
Good things can die if no one uses them. Don't just assume you won. Its a massive battle to displace big tech
I keep saying this and I feel no one cares. Most people don’t like to talk to strangers. Twitter and Reddit are really low on the list of social media platforms.
We still don’t have a friends and family first client. Non of the people I know care about Twitter, Reddit or similar open social platforms.
We need solutions for private social media.
Black markets like Silk Road
Maybe whats missing easy to set up private client, where i would be able to fully control my feed what i see and how i see at the same time it would be my safe heaven. I would say it has to be more user friendly. More basic. I don’t know if thats even possible.
What I noticed when i talk to strangers about is zap function that we can share wealth on v4v principle. I like presenting opportunities. But what I notice as well that people are tired of moving to the new platforms in this case protocol which is even more complexed to wrap the head around and most of it means a lot of unlearning to do.
Since Atlantis i became Nostr exclusive. And still going through the shift of letting go and transitioning to Nostr only. At the same time when i meet new people I easily state that they can connect with me on Nostr or something like whatsapp. I like Peer to peer connections. Quality over quantity. So I state to my pears that i share myself only on Nostr publicly. In that way I inspire people to think, I believe.
I think what would be great to remove is “like” function since that is fiat mentality. It’s noise. It’s pleasing. So what i am saying to ground it even deeper in principles of Bitcoin.

Also when people will realize that all their content that they have created through years and worked on will go down together with those big organizations. We will feel the wave of content creators searching for alternatives.
Also to make the last step can be very difficult for many people. From centralized to decentralized shift is a big step. Big shift. Transformation if you will. Even metamorphosis.
And we all know that Nostr is that last step for long time. For whole humanity.
And we know the beauty of it. Because we have experienced and felt it. And Nostr is a experience that has to be felt. Understood only when it has been felt.
Onboard 5bln people it’s something. Why 5bln not 8? The fact is that 37% of population has not used or interacted with internet yet.
One by one. Peer to peer. It’s a fun way :)

A social media, simply a place to share stuff one wants to share with ability to target audience one wants ( for me would be potential art buyers, for someone else their friends seeing their cats pics) with ability to avoid content one is not interested in. For many people it’s nostriches and bitcoiners
