can explain the problem right now
and will do so
Getting people to try out Nostr isn't as much of a problem as getting them to stay.
How do we fix this?

got a lot of top down
got too much top down
got too much dev
mountain peak stuff
not base of the mountain stuff
what makes any platform worth staying for is the people
the: 👀👀👀👀👀 users
sure the users who are using for free
but for free contributing what?

the culture problem
means a people problem
means a political problem
when everyone is a dick
who is gonna spend all day sourcing good answers and doing a whole write up for a dick
as in, why would i, as a gardener, tend diligently to this soil, add nutrients, to grow herbs, plant seeds
if i cant imagine wanting to meetup irl
people have to like people enough
gotta at least be at: it'd be cool to bump into you at a bar for at least 1/12th of the people here
we do not have that currently
i am an outlier case
i severely like extremely am on the very rare end of never minding wasting an extraordinary amount of my own time for absolutely no reason with slimmer than powerball return on investment
did that on fb, did that so intensely on ig, did that on twitter several times, have done that on nostr several times
is not the platform, is not the people
it is me, my outlier thing
pearls before swining like the world is my oyster
anyway, unreasonable ask of others
is all im saying
and so, gotta calibrate for heavy respect and appreciation of the ground crew, any ground crew

in simplicity: nostr is fucked without the left
when nostr doesnt have the left, it instead conjures imaginary left like echos of twitter phantoms

the left talks about acab
says: kill the cop in your head
says: gotta kill the colonizer in your head
the right? do we not know, are we not processing yet that you all have inner commies and inner lefties up in that noggin?
in the absence of one in the digital territory you will just write a comment to soothe the imaginary antifa who lives like a yeerk in your brain
