We need to start drawing in from outside the bitcoin crowd, but I completely agree.

Yeah, I think once we get some more apps and use cases, this will become easier.
The Twitter-like text messages are cool, but I hardly know anyone IRL who uses Twitter and would appreciate this.
On the other hand, almost everyone in my friend group uses Facebook for scheduling in-person events with friends. Not because they like Facebook per se, but because everyone else is mostly on there, so it’s easy to coordinate.
With Nostr, you just need everyone to have a key pair and they can use whatever UI to do what they need to do without having to set up another account.
Can not wait for the Nostr event app!!
Yep! The story around privacy and forward secrecy at the protocol level probably needs to improve a bit, so someone’s key being compromised doesn’t doxx everyone else involved in the same events etc. Other than that, I think Nostr is perfect for something like this.
I feel Nostr architecture has the potential, and the power, to disrupt all social media
perhaps a lofty vision
