Chicken/egg problem. Influencers want a larger installed audience before moving, but the audience won’t be driven to move until there is more action here.

Personally I like the relative quiet and intimacy that Nostr offers and will be sad when it outgrows this phase, but I understand it can’t be like this forever if the goal is to render Twitter irrelevant.

the peak value time to go hard on nostr has yet to be reached.

If you go hard now youre going to benefit from adopting earlier, but you have to wait longer for the big rewards to come

The real reason to be early is to start establishing a record of yourself, if who you are matters. Nostr allows me to keep facts and proof available to discredit people who lie about my public positions or stuff like that.

After being banned from places like facebook and reddit without having good backups, I notice the importance of this

Yeah, I do get it if someone’s income or business depends on some degree of Twitter engagement…but it seems like at a minimum, influencers wanting to move but holding out could start posting first to Nostr and then elsewhere a few days later where the post won’t inherently be stale if delayed (eg reacting to breaking news).

Incentivize dedicated followers to move.

there is a big opportunity to steal contents and crosspost on nostr.

I'm not an expert but you can crosspost all your favorite influencers from X, reddit, telegram, mIRC, and gain followers without work ;)
