I mean we should choose to use some of the OpenSats money for PR. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but we have resources.
Honestly I’d rather use it to fund non-dev non-bitcoin projects who want to try and bring communities of users on to Nostr. Discord grew to be huge without much mainstream press. Getting hype leads to the boom and bust cycles like happened with Threads.
hmmm that gives me an idea to make some tiktoks about nostr.
how would you do PR for nostr? it’s kind of complicated.
love my girl carla.
have you seen nostr:npub1stemstrls4f5plqeqkeq43gtjhtycuqd9w25v5r5z5ygaq2n2sjsd6mul5 ? it’s an app for music creators to collaborate and create together. there’s a huge addressable market of music artists on closed networks.
Maybe we could engage with the folks at SimplySecure.org who have already been studying UX and decentralization.
if you're going to use money to advertise you have to focus your advertising on people who would be interested in this product.
for example it would be total waste of time to advertise to boomers on Facebook or to shit-libs on Mastodon.
on other hand there is quite a lot of transplants from GAB here on Nostr.
GAB is much bigger than Nostr right now so you could pick up quite a few people from there.
not every person on GAB is a nazi too. for example Dr. Robert Malone is currently under attack on GAB for not being a Nazi:
https://gab.com/RobertMaloneMD
he was smart enough to invent MRNA vaccine perhaps he's also smart enough to use Nostr if somebody got in touch with him.
if you want to advertise try to do it through Joe Rogan - that would ensure you're tapping into the right audience.
Alex Jones is an option as well.
Personally i am here because of nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyvhwumn8ghj7ur4wfshv6tyvyhxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcxqkwf0 and nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wddhkcmrfv3jhytnc09aqzxrhwden5te0wajkccm0d4jjumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2cfkckq
If you can get big names in the freedom movement like Rogan, Jones, Stefan Molyneux etc. to join that would attract a lot of people
just don't waste time and money advertising to people who aren't interested in freedom ( liberals ) or technology ( boomers )
I think advertising would be a HORRIBLE use of money. That said, personally I have zero interest in seeing Joe Rogan or Alex Jones’ audience when I use Nostr. I’m not saying they can’t use nostr, it’s just not who I want to see. I strongly suspect we have little in common socially or politically.
I liked talking to nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn because he’s looking at creating community space for christian nostr. I’m a militant atheist and want a nostr to be a place where we can have both church groups and nostr:npub1k27tyhsg9hqqy2zm7lgxk9n3kafsy8e7x6du6hnes8q65mr2aslqn3vmmj style hard core gay porn. Both communities should be able to use it, see the kind of content and community they want. To do that we need to let people setup some boundaries and space.
get rid of global and just show kinds from people you follow or interact with
we have more in common sociopolitically than you realize. no i am not gay and i don't have purple hair but actually i am on Nostr because i'm sick and tired of all the Christians on GAB. and i have links to Tranny porn on my own website.
i don't see the value of attracting Christians to NOSTR because GAB is already a paradise for Christians. GAB CEO and Kanye West is as close as Christians will ever get to the 2nd coming of Jesus.
also when i signed up with Coracle i was asked to agree to not post any porn, which i find disappointing. i love porn and while it is debatable whether porn is speech to me it is NOT debatable that porn ban ( a ban on something voluntary that doesn't hurt anybody ) is antithetical to freedom.
Gab is awful lol
I banned uploading porn on coracle because I was personally hosting and moderating the content. I've now switched to nostr.build, so as reluctant as I am to have people use coracle for porn, you now only have to abide by their terms, not mine.
