Subnostr

I don't think it's a horrible idea. It could be interesting if executed correctly. Not everyone likes hell threads or even understands them though. Having it be completely opt it could be fun for those that want to get in. However the issue with hell threads is getting out. You can't on most clients. If a noob gets overwhelmed they're stuck and have to essentially suck it up. Proper and thorough explanations would be needed too.

Thanks man, appreciate the thoughts. I didn’t realize most clients don’t offer a “mute convo” like Damus - I assumed that was widespread by now 😬

My thinking was that a bot could find the conversation, check that a user is real/not spam, and tag them into the thread with a brief explanation of why (and how to mute, ideally).

I’m thinking that a more social-forward onboarding experience, one that gets around the early discovery limitations and introduces new users to seasoned nostriches and vice versa, could make a meaningful impact on user retention, if people get off to a good start 🤔
