“We’re early”—this message has been part of the narrative for some Bitcoiners who moved here two years ago. But I challenge you: try onboarding non-Bitcoin normies to the clients and watch how quickly they leave. Then ask them why they left. That will give you a much clearer picture, rather than simply repeating the same mantra that people like Gigi are pushing here.

I just gave you the reason for why we are early; even a lot of developers don't fully grasp things yet.
I also told you i dont care about those non-Bitcoin normies; ofcourse they much rather stick to the environment that has a bazillion $ of funding and decades of development history. Where is the value add for those people, there is not any. At best they feel the current platforms getting shittier, but that is a push, not a pull, and for now same-old-same-old-but-with-bullshitmarketing stuff like bluesky will get those people before we do, and then fail regardless.
We are not building a social media alternative, we are building a whole new web, a whole new compute paradigm, its all new, its all different and it all has to be figured out.
Tiktok blew up in no-time because it is the endstage of a paradigm; the bestest fanciest horsebuggy.
Nostr wont win by competing on those terms.
