The Q3 2023 Twitter Migration report is out: https://www.deweysquare.com/digital/twitter-migration-report/

It shows Nostr is holding steady after Threads tsunami. We’ve got users, interest, and development but we’re stuck in a bitcoin / crypto echo chamber. The problem isn’t the tech directly so much as culture. How can we cultivate millions of communities with their own values and norms. Sure they can use lightning for payments, but mostly people won’t be here because they believe in nostr or bitcoin. In fact for both to succeed we need folks who don’t care about the underlying tech at all.

Should it be a case of "If you build it, they will come?" If or once they tire of the walled gardens of big tech security. It must be organic or it won't be sustainable, they'll jump off just like with Threads.

Ce serait bien mais petit à petit en interagissant ensemble je me suis rendue qu'entre pros dans certaines d'activités nous pouvons construire pour aider la plus des personnes qui sont en souffrance du fait de difficultés socioprofessionnelles ou ayant des troubles liées au handicap psychique o...

Well I guess one thing would be that even bitcoiners have other interests (hopefully!) Maybe start posting about those. It's easy to have multiple accounts so you can keep things compartmentalized too.

way too much bitcoin meme type content in nostr at moment for normal non-tech users other walks of life to be here. only other good stuff foodstr ! this echo chamber atmosphere will change users from other topics keep posting. major "real tech bitcoin stuff content" is still outside of nostr

Karnage · 155w

Mute lists, suggesting non-bitcoin topics. It’ll be hard for sure.

shitcoins zapadversting not create any impact for hardcore bitcoiners /maxis - we saw that with optimism ads few months back - they r welcome to do ad campaigns pay the relay admins to unfilter

Probably, need to start with more content and/or user discoverability. Most people probably have been used to how centralized social media operated. 😅

Rumblestiltskin · 155w

People stick around if they are getting noticed. Give likes to posters who are making quality posts on topics you may not usually like. Sports, tech, art etc.

Great job! Can we translate it into other languages, say Chinese?

The problem is the tech. Why would people move to something new if the new thing isn't as polished as what they are used.

I subscribe to a lot of press sites (bots) that I found on nostr band. They stimulate discussion on topics other than Bitcoin and nostr because they report news on a variety of topics.

the culture is a feature not a bug

Not entirely sure I agree. Tis early doors so bitcoiners and bitcoin discussion will naturally dominate. Given time varied interests and ppls will come to the space. The benefits of ownership and sovereignty will shine through

Ray Laracuenta · 155w

I agree here. We need diversity and also methods for people to create content streams that align with specific interests. Nostr = btc is fine for a starting place but it needs to be broader than that to go mainstream. Conversely we need nostr apps that are more than Twitter like timelines. Ap...

We have a difficult image problem to overcome. Most people on Bluesky who have heard of the Nostr think it’s full of Nazis and crypto bros. They usually block anyone who mentions it.

Try this for diversity. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin, Crypto or Nostr. nostr:npub1q50ex3alz6jz9p9pc6yler38wru0sf6ge7kjsfks08ewj90jumfq0euvf3 😉

Happy to find you here, after your nostril vs blue sky interview

From a design point of view, a solution must be 10x its predecessor, or existing users won't migrate. Nostr is 10x for privacy lovers and those with something to lose; for others who care about comfort and ease of use, the duper mine effect of algorithmic social media, or the size of the audience, N...

I recently started this account to post insta/tiktok type viral videos. Trying to get more carried content on nostr. nostr:nevent1qqsvn5kaf3st0ls29n3l099whpnnxkurttprrk3qa60650crhrh53lqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyppgyklmtpwk44qqv77y9gdjdc3sfr6s8yat6zzjme6j9yjrmprtvqcyqqqqqqgp3...

zap.stream could aspire to pick up twitch streamers, who want an alternative space. Things like that work well for normie onboarding. They might not be interested in the whole nostr thing per say, but things that work.

thanks for sharing this nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 - I love how this topic has been close to your heart, and you have triggered many great inputs and ideas in this thread and over time as well. But more so, its really nice to see so many agreements and disa...

To be clear. There’s nothing wrong with an enthusiastic bitcoiner community on nostr. In fact it’s really important to sustaining nostr. What I’m saying is we need to make it easy for other kinds of communities to and find their space. Some people care about knitting or Brazilian Jitsu, coffee...

going to tokyo?

lightning for payments was a huge turn off for me. nothing said "closed minded" louder than use my money. I pay content creators on youtube, reddit, tiktok, likey, patreon, kofi, gumroad, IG, OF. no muss no fuss. first day.
