I think it's more about if people are ready for Nostr and take responsibility for their own freedom, than if Nostr is ready for them.
So, is Nostr ready to capture people that are fed up with the age-verification locks killing their biz and free sharing of ideas?

I think it is, though I'm disapointed with the current state of Nostr desktop apps. By this time I expected there's going to be a bunch of sleek, super customizable and very powerful apps (nostr browsers).
In any case, go and find the homeless refugees of the centralized platforms and tell them Nostr exists.
Discussion
The real challenge is cultural diversity. Nostr needs more than Bitcoin and freedom tech content. People migrate where their communities are, where they can discuss their hobbies and interests. Right now it feels too monolithic - we need art communities, sports communities, niche interest groups.
There is an opportunity to free some poeple and show them the solution to their problems. Their audience will follow. Esp. if the current platform just doesn't let them view the content.
The worst case would be if everyone just caved to the digiID thing and it became normalized.
Worst case is already here. Show people freedom and they'll reject it because they're too institutionalized.
They don't want freedom - they want benevolent control. They'll flee one platform's censorship and immediately demand the next platform replicate the convenience features that enabled it.
I mean this is already happening in the US and they're exporting this doublethink to the whole western world. Very soon we'll live in a fully post-factual world, where truth means whatever serves power, freedom means approved speech, and safety means ideological conformity.
