Nostr is a great technology but when people post stuff that isn’t related to bitcoin or nostr itself they struggle to get traction and build an audience.

Other platforms have algorithms or tools to cultivate multiple communities of users and interest. We’re a bit stuck with just one at the moment. Solving this is essential for Nostr’s future.

yes, I’ve been using for less than a month and find the ubiquitous self-referentialism borderline intolerable. it’s akin to sitting at a dinner table and the ONLY thing you hear is people talking about the table, the cutlery, the food… the WHOLE night. what a pleasant dinner. 😂

nostr:npub1xehqy6pugnw2vhjqw0a2kr92zw8fmf8g7f9yuuqrnk8tjmvya0zqmefw23 it’s a common problem of early social tech. We used to hear the complaint that all people talked about on Twitter was Twitter itself. The difference is that Twitter was able to eventually grow beyond that.

Well to be fair that was when Twitter had a dozen users through a few million. While people still talk about Twitter on twitter, it’s a small percentage of the conversation and has been for the last 15 years.

Except now there are dozens of twitters and they are somewhat gathering reputations as special-interest, or ideologically demarcated platforms/protocols.

Luckily (or not) nostr isn't very well known so it hasn't got much of a reputation lol
