If your goal is to increase your reach (not everyone’s is), by spending time on legacy social media you are actually diluting and slowing your growth on the future of social commerce (Nostr). Also, by participating in the other networks, you are enabling them to keep going. We are fuel for conversations. Put your fuel into where it matters going forward.

The same goes for apps. If you continue using the legacy apps when new ones are certainly possible on Nostr, you just enable them. By not having the necessary apps, this forces people to build them, thus growing our separation from legacy overlord-ruled platforms. Ask not what nostr can do for you, but what you can do for nostr.
The problem is this:
visionary/ideological usage appeals to a small sliver of a fraction of people.
The vast majority will transition to using nostr when it makes economical sense for them to do so.
Our job is to build everything that’s required to make the economical calculation of individuals lean further and further towards freedom.
* apps
* communities
* realized network effects
* monetization for content creators
* infrastructure
* education
* etc
I think we’re doing great; I’m extremely hopeful about this path.

Wise words ⚡️
Agreed. Legacy systems Keeps zombie companies/ entities alive
This is not the way
Same applies to voting. It just encourages them
You do you. What communication channels other people use is none of your business and nobody needs to explain themselves to some communication channel purist.
Twitter is not 'enabled' because some nostrians use multiple communications channels.
Promoting the use of Nostr is great.
Demonizing non-conformists is unethical and unacceptable.
I am doing me. I can’t possibly make anyone do anything…
You are promoting a false causality claim:
That Twitter is somehow being upheld by a few Nostrians that use both channels. That's not even plausible by a long stretch.
If all here on Nostr abandoned Twitter 100%, Twitter would function just as well without us. They would barely notice that we are gone.
I am at the point of puking at sectarianism.
Good far-sight. But it helps to keep in mind that most of the legacy app users that have that goal, also have an immediate need to continue engagement with their current audience that have no interest nor awareness to transition to another/newer app.
If the Nostr meets the need of the user, they will come. If the need of the user is a specific engaging audience… it may not be here for them just yet.
And it could be possible that legacy apps are more aggressive with development when people start migrating away from them… which encourages them to incorporate the ideas and designs of the competition that their current users have proven to be attracted to.
***What had happened was, I didn’t know this event went through, and could not remember it word for word. So i tried my best to retype it… with less patience and more fatigue***
Good far-sight. However it helps to keep in mind most legacy users who have that goal, also have a need to maintain engagement with their current audience; who may have no interest in switching to a different/newer app.
If Nostr meets the need, the user will come. If the need is a specific engaging audience… chances are, Nostr won’t meet that need just yet.
Will it? With the rate and diversity of things that are being developed, it def seems that it is trending in that way.
There's a lot of buzz around your post.
