while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter given the current onboarding and product experience. it's way too confusing for folks, and generally not satisfying instantly. people will and do churn out.

if there's one thing to focus on (for the social media use case) it's search. both for people, but more importantly, topics. Twitter won because of search. it wasn't a social network. it was an information network, and it excelled at real-time because of real-time search. that's a base requirement now.

what nostr adds, and what will make it sticky, is the multi-app/use-case ecosystem. but each use case is going to have different needs for attracting people to it. search is table stakes for the social media one. it won't matter how good the tutorial content is until this is done right.

nostr has the benefit right now of having a completely open and wild API. that matters as every other service is closing down. it's perfectly OK that we mostly have devs and bitcoin-obsessives at the moment. we have time to get all the kinks out and make something that's truly hard to replicate. where the only way to compete will be to join.

Truly remarkable that some of the biggest proponents of ending censorship and corporate and government control of money and speech don’t use it.

It's sad though. Even the UX now sucks, I guess Elon fired all UX designers, and perhaps all SREs.

Elon has really fucked up Twitter. The current algorithm appears to have a centralising force around viral content - fight videos, inspirational threads and general bollocks.

It’s clear Nostr is now more viable as a place to discuss #bitcoin and build communities.

I’ve been zapped $20 this last week posting less than 10 tweets.

I have less than 4000 followers on Nostr and 1m followers on Twitter, that’s 250x less followers.

$20 x 250 = $5000 for 10 tweets.

Nostr has potential to be the next content creation platform that will pay better than YouTube.

🤣
