I did an accidental experiment last weekend. I changed my cover pic on my Facebook profile. I got so many likes and comments! I haven't used it in ages.... And what I learned is that I really, really miss my friends that I actually know and that feeling of familiarity. I am enjoying y'all, but so far the only person that I know on here is my hubstr. So I invited my one friend who I thought might be able to handle nostr to check it out.
Another thing that I have observed is that my favorite people on here are the ones that either use their real names and/or post pictures of themselves and their life experiences. I am really uncomfortable talking with someone that is just a cartoon with a funky name. I know, I know... privacy and all, but I can't connect with people that have privacy walls built up. It would be the same for me if I was at a costume party and didn't know anyone - I would enjoy the costumes, but I wouldn't be comfortable making connections until the people took their masks off.

I hope it gets easier! I would love to see some familiar faces!
This tiny dinosaur looks mean. But I think it is eating a Mexican bean beetle or a cucumber beetle, so I guess he's a good guy. Unless you are the guy getting eaten. 😆

That's cool. I'm glad there are people doing that. Not my jam, but I am grateful that it is someone's.
One more step and this tiny baby might not have made it.

I'm not going anywhere. 🙂 For me not using FB is a "principle of the thing" situation. I don't want to feed the monster. I still look at it everyday because everyone that I know is there and that is how I find out about their lives, but I don't post anything or like or comment on their stuff because I would prefer that everyone go somewhere with free speech to socialize. I hope that nostr becomes that place. But until then, I will keep trying to make new connections with people like yourself. I hope that you get chances to enjoy your family's horses!
That’s the problem. People don’t care what Nostr is. They only care if they can follow their friends, family and favorite celebs. Until they can do that, no amount of onboarding effort will matter. And yes, of course that’s a chicken-and-egg problem.
And I hate to say it folks, but all the different clients makes it even more confusing. 99% of people just use the default web browser that comes with their device. They don’t even know what the app is called. Nor do they care.
When iOS and Android each come shipped with their own default Nostr app, and it’s just called something super generic like “Social”, then we’ll start the real adoption.
Or, ya know, we just convince Taylor Swift to move 100% to Nostr. That’d work too.
nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 you were asking for progressive non-bitcoiners to interview? Go after Taylor Swift.
I agree with Shawn. Here are my thoughts from regular person's perspective. I am here to connect and be social because I quit using FB because of their censorship policies. If my hubstr didn't walk me through all of the steps, I wouldn't have bothered. I am not a techie, nerd, or geek or whatever qualifications that you have to have to understand how all this works. I am just a girl that wants to share her life stories with other like-minded people, preferably people that I know in real life too. And I have a basic understanding of how nostr works so I know there can't be censorship, so I have a big appreciation for that. I just happen to be married to a Bitcoin junkie that is in to all of this stuff and could set it up for me. So until it becomes plug-n-play, it is going to be an uphill battle to get more people.

I will have to find someone to make some for me to try. I am not brave enough to pick them!
We had a happy horse day! 3rd ride on Indie and first time on Annabelle in about 3 years.

Feather is such a beautiful girl! She loves attention, even if it is just trying on mommy's new hat. 🐴

What does it taste like?
How does it taste? I think it would have to be the most amazing drink in the world to risk getting pricklies in your fingers.
