People have mentioned that nostr adoption is slowed because newbies freak out about all the bitcoin talk. I think that is correct. But the solution is not to try to change what people want to talk about. Bitcoiners gonna bitcoin. The solution is for newbies to be able to find their people, people who talk about whatever they are interested in... .flower arrangement... or motorsport ... or midwifing... or whatever.

Maybe people should express topics in their metadata, and clients should help people find other people to follow via those topics... although I'm not sure exactly. Just a thought.
