Nobody cares. Even with all the 'Online safety act' stuff going on; you can scream in their face you have a sensible way out of this mess....they don't care.

For the most part humans will double down on their strategy untill they are downright forced by reality to adjust; and in some cases they rather go down with the ship.

Not long ago i contacted the developers of 'Beyond All Reason'; an opensource RTS that leverages discord heavily. I showed up, asked if they knew about Nostr, parried all their lazy remarks that disguise themselves as critiques but are actually just excuses not to think. They dont care.

Any existing community, unless you already have a sizeable controlling influence in that community, will do fuck all, they won't even consider it.

For the foreseable future, all Nostr based communities will have to be bootstrapped; build from the ground up.

And many, if not just most, will die off again . NIPs will we written and forgotten;

but those few that remain, will be the added context and marginal value gain for the next wave of attempts; less of them die off, some more take root: roots deep enough to survive any winter and ready to bloom again when conditions are correct.

I would love to see a Nostr killer-app, and it would help out a lot, but don't count on it.

Now most of us are Bitcoiners, so we sort of know this dynamic, but this time we are not all going to get rich eventually in the process, so this one is a bit harder to keep your conviction in.

And remember, the only communities on Nostr are the ones you build yourself.

The fact that things are open, free to develop and use, is a motivator for absolutely nobody except for the dozen people already here:

Community is the motivator to use and develop;

An open protocol reduces the barriers to do so, but by itself is worthless.

Fuck 'build it and they will come', nobody is comming, they are already at the place someone build years ago.

Rather, make them come and they will build.

TL:DR

The only way a 1000 flowers will bloom on Nostr, is if there are a 1000 Mozesses leading their tribe to plant one first.
