Subnostr

There could be a whole other protocol where everything was perfect but its creator(s) didn’t publicize and all what users did “use” it were (or are🫨) too timid or polite or unthinking to ever post, so there’s all this incredible infrastructure like a pristine yet abandoned theme park in cyberspace that no one ever discovered

There could also be adventurers who go climbing and spelunking all over digital creation in search of these lost marvels

This also exists in the real world, its Western Japan's countryside. Come explore! The last picture is of my workout gym, it was never busy but unfortunately they discontinued my branch (pun intended).

All this photo needs is a bitkini girl with an orange bitkini posing in front of the purple building.

nostr:npub14aeuctmsc3zqm8n7p3f3ssxgwwlqvw06t9j2r0zk3c572g4lg5fs434afw do you ever plan on making a bitkini calendar?

'Nostr for Normies' nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240's Talk @ Nostrasia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pGZ2epF8ZY

I'm watching the whole thing now, imo opinion one of the most interesting presentation from Nostrasia. I don't think his app is for me mostly (eg I don't need negative-content curation, following other people's Mute Lists) but I'm pretty much on the same page with his introduction, especially his focus on the major complaint of the B!tcoin Tourettes Chatroom dilemma.

Not sure if Rabble has seen nostrdit, but I think their Onboarding Wizard is a clever idea which tackles some of the issues he raises (screenshots below).

And he didn't mention nostrudel, although I'm sure he would be aware of it. Nostrudel profile pages are also a great resource for discovery, the show Community membership of that particular user, and Communities in general list members, so despite them being quiet Communities offer a some pretty good potentially recommended users. It's not unimaginable that Community Membership could be used as a way for an app to offer recommendations in future.

Questions I still wonder about:

- Who are exactly the 'normies' devs somewhat fetishise?

Nostr devs seem to be after the 'typical' tiktok and instagram user, despite those platforms having a lot of their most active and engaging content being from subcultures. I've said all this before but I think the normie is slightly mythological, but even if they were to exist they would arrive anyway if The Content was here. (Which goes back to the introductory problem of b!tcoin tourettes chatroom spam, that stuff is not considered content by anyone outside of BT).

- If 'normies' can use discord, they can work out eg nostrudel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- The normies are already here.

Just because you've bought b!tcoin doesn't mean you're not a normie. Whatever is left after you've appled a lot of b!tcoin filter words would be considered 'normie'. Nostr should focus on attracting the non-normies if anything.

Sorry, I'm both using and not wanting to use 'normie' lol, tbf I don't think Rabble is using it as a pejorative tho, I think it's mostly just used as it's a nice snappy title for a talk. 'non-dev users' and 'non-b!tcoin tourettes sufferers' might not be as snappy a term ;)

Anyway, the washing machine beeped and I need to hang my laundry.

It's been fun typing this.

I may add to this depending on how defeated I feel after wrestling the clothes horse.

How to onboard and increase normie participation? I think some of these were briefly discussed by Rabble or other speakers but here is what I liked...

1) user controlled algorithms

2) Nike celebrity sponsorship

3) McDonald's kids happy meals

4) Apple intuitive use

nostr:npub1uch5rxswzes8h9hlzrktqqjf4a75k6w86ys7fvzpxrrpejvccvhq4sl7fj were you at the #nostrasia meetup? Really wanted to meet you but now already back in Western Japan. You live in a beatify city, I want to take more street photos next time I am in town. I went black and white to mimic your style, but still need more time and more pictures to level up my skill.

I would be in the front seat if I didn't have work today in Western Japan. Also it is a three day weekend in Japan so maybe that will affect today's turnout.

Had an amazing experience at #nostrasia but had to leave early today. Thank you nostr:npub1nfplq76jq3rcaekcyaf64nfgkjl74garqylfmg7wgsxcpve095rskzyne6 nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va , the entire crew who helped with this event and all the presenters. Also to the new Nostriches I met during my time there. ありがとうございました🙇🏻‍♂️

The main concern I heard during the conference was the concern of demographics (mainly males 35-45 techies and bitcoin). I am sure nostr will over come this we just need a McDonald's approach to corner the youth with toys in the happy meal. I will continue to plant the seeds of knowledge and create on-ramps for the youth in my city.

If you have time please also come explore western Japan... Himeji Castle, Engyōji, Shizutani, Bizen Pottery, Korakuen Garden, Naoshima, Hiroshima Peace Park and Miyajima.
