One should really keep in mind, how non-techies see the world. I've once seen a statistic that most people wouldn't be able to tell you what they use to access the internet. They just use what's there - the icon that's familiar.

Not sure how this has shifted over the years, but it doesn't mean that these people are stupid; They may have in-depth knowledge in other fields, which they like to share with others.

It's certainly easier to jump on Twitter to share, than to find the right Mastodon server, or figure out which app to use to access Nostr. Twitter is Twitter - on iOS, Android, the Web. Yes, that's a disadvantage, but it's also a tremendous advantage.

Custom branding has worked out really well for some Fediverse servers. Poa.st is the only big one right now, but others have come and gone. It's just a matter of getting the word out and making onboarding is simple and easy.

I just made an account tonight and it was a nightmare. Clients overwriting each other's relays and follows, things not working that were just fine on my other keypair, etc. Things that have to be solved.

Once that's done, you'll start to see more overlaps in the strengths of the two ecosystems. Nostr just isn't ready right now. It's annoying to use in a lot of ways. The only people who will stay are people who are okay with alpha software.
