Thanks for getting back to me with those!
I’ve got through all so far, but still can’t find an account that clears those filters.

I would say @Patrick Boehler is a good option re technology for journalists.
@The Conversation U.S. is news and original content not an algorithm. I find myself learning new things from their work.
@npub1xm0rv... is very progressive/ left news / opinion pieces.
@Ignacio Pereyra writes about parenting as a dad, so if you have kids…
@existing sprinkles is another artist focused on street sketches. I love her work!
@inpc streams music from his own mastodon server but through Nostr. If you are in Europe it’s definitely worth a listen in the morning. He occasionally posts about technology but only related to his own setup.
@Fight for the Future is an advocacy organization for digital privacy in the states. Worth following if you want to help fight KOSA and other uninformed legislation.
This is a challenge we spent some time working on earlier this year and recruited the above folks to feature or join Nostr.
If you are familiar with the flywheel effect, Nostr is a bit stuck on the turn around the bottom. The tech is there, there’s a group of enthusiastic early adopters but they are struggling to bring more folks in. Lack of diverse content is a major barrier however there are other challenges as well.
Someone joined a few weeks ago, introduced themselves and was bombarded by welcome messages to set up a wallet. The person left within an hour after noting they were not interested in Bitcoin. There is nothing wrong with enthusiasm however we need to meet people where they are. Not everyone is excited about Bitcoin and we should respect that and instead discover what they are interested in.
Censorship resistance is a lagging motivator meaning a person will only make the switch when they have personally experienced shadow banning or outright banning elsewhere. Yet most of the Nostr marketing in the wild leads with this selling point. Ask 5 average people what they think that means and what the social network behind it would be like and you’ll begin to see why the flywheel is stuck.
With that said the protocol is incredibly flexible which means there are lots of opportunities to build around and/or through these challenges. And there are many developers and teams doing good work.
My sense is that 2025 would be a good year to start linking all the pieces together. Less traditional keynote talks and more interactive working sessions focused on specific use cases.
I’m personally excited about the possibilities as we head into 2025!
