The issue is that people repost from Twitter to mastodon, but only interact on Twitter, which leaves mastodon full of empty statements and no interesting interaction.

This behavior should be shamed on Nostr.

I understand, I also understand why people do that.

I don’t think that is going to apply here. We are going to see a proliferation of clients (apps) built on nostr and they are going to be superior to legacy web apps for various technical reasons.

e.g. Imagine a world where there are 5 social media apps and each app has 10m unique daily active users.

If you built that same ecosystem on nostr, then each app would have 50m daily active users.

If someone built a 6th social media app on nostr, it would have 50m daily active users at launch. Why would anyone develop legacy web apps ever again?

nostr is just a much more connected way to develop web apps. The point being that on nostr there is a single massive user universe and and client merely plugs into that existing userverse (think I coined a term there?).

The app developer surrenders proprietary control of user data, but gains instant access to a huge user base.

This is very different. It is so foundational.

I expect it’s really going to change everything.

Exactly. Want users to switch to your platform? Provide value over your competitors, and people are more likely to at least try it out, because they won't be sacrificing their existing contacts in order to do so.

It's quite interesting to see that the majority of the initial batch of #nostr userverse is made up of bitcoiners.

Perhaps Bitcoin's open protocol and its ability to facilitate the free exchange of value online gives us the incentive to build communities where it is the native currency.

Who knows, magic internet money could be one of the keys to bootstrapping other open protocols in the digital realm.

Crazy that I’ve seen this nostr post of mine appear across multiple other apps in the last 48 hours.

I blame #[3] for boosting month old posts of mine 😂

Original point stands though and is an important one. nostr clients are not really competing with each for users, nostr clients actually feed users to each other. I can create content with client A and I can reach the entire audience of clients A, B, C, D, E…

When one client does well, all others benefit. This one nuance is a major difference v’s traditional social media.

It’s potentially a much larger monetisation surface for content creators, and there might be huge first mover advantages for those creators who become established on nostr before the herd moves.
