More crypto bro’s? I don’t think that’s the kind of marketing Nostr needs There are many devs (which are not bitcoiners) who see the benefits of using private keys, but they are not united in a...

Good point, but all these "devs" who are into "decentralization" and were supposed to like Nostr apparently don't give a shit about it (because their entire discourse is a lie, they don't really care about technology, they only care about what their leftist friends think of them, see for example that guy who wrote "protocols, not platforms" and is literally being paid by a platform now) and are happy with Bluesky and their lies, so who else can we target?

We can't be serious about attracting florists, musicians, serial entrepreneurs, biologists, mathematicians or milkshake producers, right?

The only other demographic I can think about are people into politics that lean more to the right, but most of these seem to in love with Elon Musk still.

We're left with the conspiracy theorists who see the threat of X and Musk dominance, like Whitney Webb and Ian Carroll joined Nostr and James Corbett mentioned it multiple times, none of them made the jump into Nostr that we needed. Anyway, these are the big guns of the movement as far as I know, so it's understandable that they didn't, but there might be smaller players who will be more interested immediately.

I guess there is the big avenue of people who just want to make a group with their friends, or with other florists, and we're already moving in that direction already with NIP-29 groups and growing support for topic, theme, niche and semi-closed relays. I'm happy about it.

Nothing prevents us from moving into multiple directions at once though.

Well, you really can't attract florists, musicians, serial entrepreneurs, biologists, mathematicians or milkshake producers if "you" think you are too cool to post your app on playstore and app store. And by you I don't mean you personally

I think there’s a small trap in the premise. We keep trying to think in terms of demographics to target, as if Nostr just needs to find the “right tribe” — ideological devs, political dissidents, conspiracy researchers, rebellious entrepreneurs. But most living technologies don’t grow tha...

Many people are fake and talk decentralization only for social / professional points. All they really care about is monetization. Does it make me money? No? I won’t be bothered.

One of these days Google is going to shoot themselves in the foot with the play store or GitHub is going to enshittify enough, etc. And zapstore or git on nostr is going to explode.

have patience. The important thing with nostr is not happening in public, but in private. The public part is for posting memes and have a voice.

Network effects are strong so there is no choice but to be patient. As with Bitcoin, people will come for ideological reasons or when they have no other choice.

Well... Consider that Nostr is not really decentralized. The relay model means some large hub and many relays unseen by most, so actual substantial centralization without imposing it formally. Nostr is awesome for many reasons, but it's not really decentralized. Largely ignoring both the ZeroNet fa...

This problem is beyond logic. The people are under a spell. It will take a spell to free them.

Most Bitcoiners... "They’re literally the same party. Don’t participate, decentralize and focus on your local community. Our elite need us to participate in their divide and conquer campaigns, so let’s not. Don’t let the matrix define happiness for you," This is the male equivalent of wo...

Peter McCormack is probably the person to reach out to, he seems to have reached out of the bitcointwitter bubble. Would be good if he at least had nostr in his linkedin. Perhaps if he mentioned he's on there in his show. Or if we sponsored his show.

Maximize customizability and then encourage/promote creative uses of the resultant features. Heavily promote Nostr as a space where artists can sell their work / get commissions (maybe adding new features to streamline this process) while simultaneously encouraging Nostr users to support and commiss...
