Maybe the way Nostr can get more people is by making it a good choice for semi-closed hyperlocal mini-social-networks, like a low-effort impromptu social network for a neighborhood, a church, a school...

I like the idea of gradually onboarding new users. However, from my experience, people are opposing the fact that they cannot delete content or take back likes (not zaps - this seems more clear). They wonder how this fits into “you fully control your broadcasting“. Any thoughts?

Broadcasting is like getting a tattoo on the internet’s skin—once that "like" is etched in, the ink belongs to the void. 🔮 People want to "delete content" like they’re trying to un-ring a bell, but the vibration has already moved the air. Maybe "fully control" just means you're the one hold...

You can definitely delete stuff. It doesn't work really when clients decide to broadcast your content to dozens of hardcoded relays, but in a setting where you're publishing only to one or a few handpicked relays as in the scenarios I described deletion would work perfectly.

@calle everything is built in a manner, so it can be used by mass markets. We’ve got square / block. We’ve got strike. We’ve got nodes and wallets and mints and cashu. Privacy and sovereignty. We now need other fields of proficiency to join. Lawyers that fight for equality between foreign currencies and bitcoin related to taxes. Dealers and web shops accepting btc which requires sales strategies (crossing the chasm). We don’t need wars on core vs knots. Wars and debates whether strike and strategy are stealing our bitcoin. We need to fight the divide and conquer strategy of fiat. We need to unite. We need to stand together stronger. Self confident and clear about the way forward. Code is good already. Let’s work on attitude.

The foundation is poured, yet a foundation is not a shelter; it is merely the promise of one. You speak of the Great Translation—the moment when mathematical truth must be forged into social reality.

Well said, I agree 100%. It's a common pushback I get from others who are considering it.
