I've talk to a bunch of friends about #nostr. Most of them developers. I said about decentralization, middleman, algorithms, shadowban on twitter bla bla. Most of them said yeah we have heard that but never experienced any of this personally so why bother. One of them made npub, posted a few messages, no one replied or one-two. went back to twitter. because a lot of engagement there. you know being noticed is better than use freedom tech but alone ) Interesting that only one of them actually did action. Most said - yeah, interesting and then forgot.

I don't expect nostr to grow in months, maybe years. it depends a lot on whether or not there are major twitter fuckups. After which probably big twitter content creators move to nostr or at least try.

As example - there were a lot of info that telegram is not secure. there are info that Durov is still connected to russian oligarchs and take money from them. and I'm talking about ukraine telegram users and war with russia. so what? everyone still using telegram , because - "I am decent person and I don't have anything to hide".

maybe we shouldn't worry so much about nostr growth. just make it better and then will see. And I don't like when we constantly reassure that yeah nostr will win. maybe yes maybe no.

most of the people just react, you can't expect that many people will take action in advance based on someone else knowledge
