There is definitely an element here who want and want to keep it as bitcointwitter. If you say you want something more/other, it's usually when some people say you should find somewhere else lol
But I genuinely want Nostr to succeed:)

This is the epitome of the issue with maximalism.
It's sort of mutated into something else on nostr lol, but it is probably derived from the same place. It's no just 'no shitcoinery' it's also a bit like bitcointwitter culture is the gold standard or the only standard to emulate or something (I genuinely think some people don't know wider twitter exists outside of BT). I don't know lol.
It's got a bit better. Until there's a price move, and then it's unusable and indistinguishable from bitcointwitter.
It's been ok lately, Christmas has helped, no big price moves also helps.
No real ecosystem has just one organism.
Bridges may help nostr somewhat, if/when implemented properly. Or at least add some random injections or topics.
It also means that you have other participants who are outside of the reach of the zap-reward meta system... thingum, which somewhat shapes the place.
I now see BTC as a sacraficial lamb, and so am fine with maximalism.
