It's just hard to compete with the network effects of established players like Twitter.

The product needs to be easily 5 or 10x better in the eyes of a normie and I dunno how this could ever be that. Maybe if this whole thing can also just import X posts into it or something that might bootstrap things.

Or perhaps just the various other services and products that use nostr also gaining traction might help...

But yeah I dunno, atm it is just too niche and it will remain niche imo due to the barriers and challenge of network effects.

Yeah, nostr is a slow burn. As governments get more desperate they will make traditional sites worse. If nostr keeps improving and growing a decentralised Git and app stores with web of trust it will provide a sound alternative when the time comes.
