There is Super-Node term in network theory that describes how very few nodes connect to everything else, so creating the network effects that are so important to the health of the network.
When people call for those influencers, they are intuitively calling forth those supernodes to the new network. It does make a difference.
To me, you are my supernode (no homo)
I like your framing of Supernode 💗.
I am in full agreeance, but it has to be someone who is socializing here.
NOT (only), copy pasta content.
I believe Supernodes will surface here, but they will come from unexpected places.
It could even be a place for big names to come & be part of the "regular people" discourse.
For ex, Eliza came here & she can just have normal conversation - I bet on Twitter that feels less so - as she has a very large following.
I know for me, with only 10k followers I was definitely censoring a lot - that's why I nuked the account to the garbage 🗑️.
I would posit that I'm one of the only ppl here who willingly disposed of that type of following - before Nostr existed no less.
Odell was shadow banned & uses Marty Bent / RHR handle for sure - but imagine if they just came here to copy pasta content?
Wouldn't work - they have an actual presence here with socialization output. This is why they're successful in monetizing their audience.
Sure, I barely post any content myself, but I reply a lot. That is where conversation grows and feels real. There could also be new supernodes here and there without us noticing it.
