NOSTR needs fewer posts about NOSTR and more posts / profiles dedicated to macro, hobby, and even news.

Coming over here from twitter I am struck by the (1) lack of content and (2) the noise from the smaller accounts I follow.

If the profiles generating the most valuable content are being distracted from and displaced by the “GM” and “PV” and “🫂” crowd then there is very little incentive to work hard to post content in NOSTR.

Network effects are difficult to achieve and it still isn’t clear to me how decentralization and decentralized protocols play out in a world obsessed with network effects. Some of the dynamics limiting NOSTR adoption are directly applicable to the FOSS vs. network effect paradox.
