we have to sell a revolution and a movement, not the tech. even though the tech does enable the movement, but thats not what people care about. they care about being a part of something important.

Yeah, I think there’s truth in that. But a lot of people don’t move to alternative systems because they’re intellectually convincedfirstt they move when the pain, friction or dependence on the existing system becomes too obvious to ignore. It reminds me of situations where governments have restricted access to platforms and suddenly people realise how fragile it is to build communication and community entirely on centralized networks owned by corporations. Most people only start looking for alternatives once they experience censorship, manipulation, account loss, algorithm fatigue or just general disillusionment with the noise and toxicity.
In a way, that’s similar to how many of us found Bitcoin. Most people don’t arrive through ideology or marketing alone, they arrive because something stops making sense in the old system and they start looking deeper.
So maybe Nostr adoption doesn’t need to be forced like a “revolution” in the traditional sense. Maybe it grows more organically as people gradually realise the value of open protocols, ownership and resilience when centralized systems inevitably start failing.
