If I download a private messaging app and I want to just do a quote perfunctory task of troubleshooting, I'm not really going to also want to have to download yet another microblogging app just to do this one task. When they're already on twitter and most people are also on twitter. It makes total sense. It also makes total sense that they should also put their nostr link there too tho

They should also probably have a Bluesky tbh:)
Primal.net, jumble.social work perfectly fine without downloads.
We both know that. But someone totally new won't know that. They probably won't even know how easy it is. They may just want the private messaging app, not joining a whole new microblogging platform. It seems to make total sense to give out all options for this sort of company update/troubleshooting thing. Whatever people are already on. Twitter, nostr, Bluesky, whatever.
No need to add a another step.
And let the app speak for itself as a longer term advert for Nostr. It could bring in more people if it did have mass appeal.
I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic on this. I am now a white noise evangelist
-'hey you know that private messaging app we all use? you know you can also do that to sign up to microblogging'
-'woah I didn't know nostr did microblogging I thought it was just for messages'
This is my unrealistic scenario lol. But I live in hope lolol
Nah. Karnage is right. Don't go where the people are if you want your app to be successful. Stay exclusive to the niche micro-blogging protocol that has a user count that's a rounding error. That's the ticket.
