Being new to Nostr, I missed the heavy bitcoiner stuff or whatever it was. I just see a ton of potential for the protocol. However, talking to people about using Nostr, I get a lot of, "LOL, no." The FOSS crowd should be all over it, but they just dismiss it immediately. Community creation could fix that. They'd log in and see a feed of familiar content instead of the chaos of global. Personally, I like the randomness, but the reality is that a lot of people aren't looking for stuff outside their comfort bubble. Hashtags kind of work in the meantime. Searching and following them isn't obvious on some of the clients, though.

Yeah it’s baffling to me why FOSS people are not here but at the same time you make a great point about them needing their bubbles.
We have people who spend more time taking about nostr on telegram than on nostr itself which I find sad and amusing. Obviously something needs to be fixed.
Gonna be a hot take, but telegram in the best messaging experience I’ve ever had. What works make me happy would be them opening the space to the backend properly.
I hate telegram. Spam every day. If we had private coms on nostr I’d rather use that.
