Every other social media company hijacks their users dopamine receptors. The user works for the platform instead of the platform working for the user. The user is unaware of this. It’s hard to compete with that and people coming to nostr wanting the same treatment eventually find out that’s not how it works.

Think my dopamine crashed from the algos never showing my posts anymore. 😂
It’s hard to be discovered as a new user here. I’d recommend first engaging with others.
Sorry I assumed you’re new but I don’t actually know since this is the first time I’ve seen you.
Think it’s been a month now so I’d say I’m still new lol. I love it on Nostr. 😃
Yeah it’s really fun once you find your tribe
Good to have you! I guess this is the first time I’ve seen you pop up on my feed and I try to say Hi to folks.
I had several years of no social media before joining Nostr so this experience seemed totally fresh to me.
It really is cool when you post something and you have a group of folks that you recognize pop right up with comments. It’s like Cheers but, you know, not everyone ACTUALLY knows your name.
I think currently this stands true but it’s not unsolvable. Demand for new social media platforms is arising. Especially given the fact many countries are looking to require ID for social media as well as limit consumption by legal means. Not to mention the censorship issue everyone is becoming increasingly aware of. If Jack Dorsey for instance began promoting a new client with a killer user experience, the ability to chose your algorithm etc on social media as a sponsored campaign I think it would really start kicking off.
Of course we need to flatten the learning curve while still keeping the platform decentralised and redundant. Before this is done though we need to implement a tried and tested set of protocols to deal with the security issues Nostr faces. I was supposed to be publishing a paper this week but I’m very ill on holiday so it might be delayed. Give us a follow for updates - and also because I’m trying to get followers because Nostr isn’t very fun if nobody hears you!
I know you’re quite busy today, as am I but when you have time check out my post from 3 weeks ago on this: nostr:note1s3scknjhp3dj3vxgdz7m9gkmgd7e04qfmt6hpjyj5rrfgfdggmkqw05ac0
