how to say i am under 30 years of age without saying i'm under 30 years of age
i used BBS on dialup in the late 90s and IRC in the noughties, i even figured out how to run Hybrid IRCD, i was running icecast, i used Hotline
nostr is not just kind 1 notes, twitter style short messages, there is everything, and other uses than shitposting, believe it or not
You think I’m under 30? 😂 I wish I was 30 again …
still too young to have needed to use IRC tho obviously
I was using mirc
lol this thread is hilarious. you are forever young, Kat. I think the bigger question is - right now and in the next 6 months - who is nostr for ?
the likehood of early adopters are
- bitcoiners
- those who struggle with freedom of expressions in their countries and
- those who struggle with freedom of expression on centralised systems.
When we zoom into these people are, their behaviours, lifestyle, interest and condition of living - we would understand better the ease of adoption.
Only then we can find a middle ground between what's sacred to nostr and what is appetizing to them.
Agreed.
However those people you listed are already here. Freedom tech fans are the first layer. Second layer is happening also right now. These “friends of freedom tech fans” are sticking around not AS MUCH for the freedom tech and MORE for the friends found in this space. Other layers will be even more friend dependent and less freedom oriented.
As developers in a decentralized ecosystem, we DONT NEED to imagine the details of what an “average” user across the ENTIRE network might want. To your point, Pam, understanding will grow as usership expands. But, in each case, the results of user research will only ever be relative to the audience measured.
The only constant thing that users will ever want in decentralized social network, the same for walled gardens also, is friends. For people and business alike, users want to build trust and relationships with each other. So if one IS looking for a single user story to design against “I would like to find new or connect more deeply with friends online” is the one.
All ways to design for this story are valid. IMHO
