“increase nostr user growth _just like everyone else_” is a mischaracterization.

I’m not trying to increase nostr user growth, I’m trying to expand what the current users can do with the protocol. If these new human capabilities are valuable, user growth will naturally follow.

Personally, I think the tendency to think “of course everyone is trying to increase growth” - like that’s the most natural and obvious necessity for the ecosystem - is itself a mindset I’d prefer my network have less of.
