Hey #nostr, what’s driving new user growth right now? What’s your guess?
Discussion
Guerilla Marketing on Twitter posting their npubs
hey mark. welcome. i'd take a bet that it's a combination of a social platform CEO getting arrested, realizing that it could happen anywhere, seeing another social platform CEO admit to working with governments to censor speech, and FOMO from seeing others talk about joining nostr.
Hey Derek, thanks for the reply! A nostr legend. Love it! That makes sense. I wonder how these people heard about nostr. Sounds like an opportunity for user growth.
haha, hey, thanks. you're welcome. someone had to start the conversation, right? im not sure what happened on twitter to kick things off, but im loving it.
Twitter npub posts have gone semi viral the last few days.

4. My impression is that the userbase is growing because content on here has breached a critical level
You are living proof, cheers 🍻
desire for freedom
The Fourth Turning.
Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. Came for the bugs, stayed for the hugs. 🫂🤙🫡
Everyone is feeling the need . . .
The need to be freed!!
Covid really woke some people up!
Zaps are a very new concept for normies. I’d lead with that
Zuckerberg's letter 😅
We knew this based on the Twitter files when that dropped. The timing of the letter is interesting. A shift?
