I am doing things that dont scale, as are many on nostr.

Having an auto generated shortlist is like outbound sales lead gen. There is some basic criteria, for instance:

1) banned from twitter

2) minimum X followers, Y years account etc.

Then we get nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 and other somewhat active nostr accounts on twitter ( for social proof, if no other reason ) to reach out.

Only the first step is automated (seems trivial to my non dev eyes). Unless nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 you volunteer your time for lead gen.

I believe this thing you think is trivial is actually absolutely impossible. Even if Twitter voluntarily gave us programmatic access to their stats and a way to query them (which they probably don't, even if we pay the elon price) then how would we get the data for accounts that were already banned? These would not be available.

In any case I think automating the first step is also not very good, if you're going to approach someone with a crazy idea it's probably better if you know them at least a little bit instead of just having taken their name from a list.

Agree with you. On all but the last part.

People are on nostr today not because its a 10x better experience. They are on nostr because of the ethos, and the potential of nostr.

Between ten to a hundred missionaries the world is smaller than you might think.

In four words:

“Do things that dont scale”
