build a client that no one wants to leave, on a protocol where everyone can if they need to
Discussion
Make your users want to stay, don't force it. That's called extortion.
a marketplace of algos will be amazing for this 💜
Everyone can leave the current platforms... Nothing is keeping them there. I don't understand the note.
imagine if all of Donald Trump’s followers on Truth Social where the same followers he had on Twitter
he sends his first post on Truth Social 13 months after being permanently suspended from Twitter and everyone on Twitter sees it and can interact with it
Yes but I guess I was saying no one is making them use the shitty platforms. It's just that nostr offers a huge incentive to build on the protocol because one clients or relays opinion can only affect your reach on their own systems, not your notes themselves on any other systems that may exist. This is a lesson people will only learn after getting burned a few times before figuring it out.
I would argue that there is something keeping people there, it’s either the content or the audience. Centralized platforms have all the incentives to be there at the moment. Very few people are able to make a living posting to the nostr protocol exclusively.
