Really want a "Mute Thread" feature nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr

a) similar to bitcoin's value proposition, not looking at it from a western perspective but thinking about the long term appeal of Nostr to people living under authoritarian regimes. It should be immediately obvious to anyone living under such a regime how Nostr differentiates from Twitter & co in many regards (e.g. doxxing risk from the central authority, shutting down their account because the government said so etc.). Make Nostr better known to those people and maybe we see a rapid rise in participation. I realize many good people like nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu are working that angle already but could we do more in that direction?

b) that might be controversial but I strongly believe if one could convince a major celebrity to switch to Nostr exclusively from twitter, you will have a big portion of their following joining along. Imagine if Taylor Swift tomorrow declares that she quits twitter and will continue on Nostr! Nostr would immediately gain millions of users. Question is, if/how to convince a celebrity with a strong following to become exclusive? Apart from idealistic arguments, maybe purely financial motivation is needed? I realize this is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way but what if instead of nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m supporting Nostr development work with the next round of money, Swift gets paid $5M to become Nostr exclusive for 3 months? This might have a bigger impact on Nostr' popularity and uptake than anything else.

Not the morally best way to do it and the numbers might be off but I'm more playing devils advocate a bit here for brainstorming reasons.

Great thread nostr:nprofile1qqsx45yrjtgm4glklaafgz0z4309gs6cwfja3d99s8rqvlvgagcptpqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp07002qa. Some very valid points here. At the end of the day the Nostriches are Unimportant! We mean nothing to the world. We are only a small group that understand what nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8g2lcy6q and the other great minds of this protocol will mean to the future of humanity. And why. Incentive is the key. What is it that drives people to use something? Two of the main forms of "payment" is monetary and recognistion = ego. People like to be heard and recognised. X, Facebook Instagram etc they are all about recognition and some do make some money from it. The social media aspect of #nostr has the oppertunity two democratise this far further than the big existing platforms where one needs to be verified blah blah etc. Anyone can send sats to anyone for what they write. Very much a differenciator. Also #nostr socials are #bitcoin money driven. We should have some interesting times ahead. Let's use this as an opportunity to get people interested in #bitcoin. "Hey you know at #bitcoin thing that is going up. There is a social media platform called #nostr @primal where you can potentially get some #bitcoin really easy". And then of course last but not least they cannot turn it off or hide information from us like youtube. Facebook etc has been doing and stealing our information. At the same time. All this said. I think we need realise that the social media part of #nostr is just scratching the surface of what change it can and will bring to society. We believe at nostr:nprofile1qqsxae3qmkt8jlwmuquu8yualhnn8rcy9vf2kwr22d6rwls93pz4lrspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcpfs4xy that we are at the forefront of an internet revolution. The adoption of #nostr based real world adoption is about showing the benefits to society by using the protocol. Simple to implement. Cheap to implement. Data accuracy is 100% and verified. This in turn will give the user more confidance in using it. Also the idea that user is being given control over their own identy and data can be sold as a sence of empowerment. I would say that the world is now very open to that sense of empowerment. Just like bitcoin was launched after the global financial crisis. All the medical and manipulation has readied humanity to be open to these type of ideas of self control and something society would love to embrace. Not everyone straight away but slowly. Look what has been achieved in 15 year with @bitcoin. Our own approach to rolling out the #nostr based #saludprotocol with a real world implementation in partnership with a real world institution. We believe this is key towards proper adoption and simple on-boarding. Understanding the market segment we are working with. As the users are using this technology over time people can learn what they have. How they now are in control and have control over #freewill like nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqfny6r0 talkes about. The big message at the end of the day comes down to the fact that we need to focus on what drives humans to do things. Not on what drives just a small group humanity. Again we #Nostriches are non Important. Let's build 🌐#nostr
