if normies are ok with being spied on and censored, then it makes no sense for those who don't like being spied on and censored to lust after having them adopt nostr.

not the same equation as getting them to adopt bitcoin and lightning at all. bitcoin is a maze of traps for normies because of the government, they mean to keep them out of it. lightning is another thing. lightning seems like it could be a permeable membrane that brings normies to the real world where they learn slowly about how rigged the system is.

the only interest i have in seeing normie adoption, therefore, is LN.

they eventually swamp everything given enough time, no need to wish it to happen faster and kill the intimacy of a small, aligned group.
