Zaps represent the only fundamentally new innovation in social media. Everything else is a distraction.

Tipping, which is essentially what zapping is, has been documented as far back as the 15th century... and *may have had origins much earlier than this... it is hardly a new concept...

I don't see how nostr is going to survive or thrive without attracting new people and being more welcoming.... and recognising diversity in the value people can bring to the platform outside of blockchain, and recognising that this does not mean that such people are not in fact btc OGs...

i don’t believe the focus is necessarily to onboard folks. i’m of that demo and I’m here just cuz i like exploring new social mediums and i have an appreciation for emerging tech. but this protocol isn’t the type that’s gonna very actively invest in onboarding folks who don’t “get it...

I agree on boarding needs work and the general user experience in most of the clients needs work. But it's a space in rapid development and I think the next 5 years will look great for Nostr as a protocol. Personally, I am here to find other BTC Maxis.

I'm new to Nostr... I'm here because I'm growing tired of platforms like IG, Twitter & FB.... but I have to admit that I'm really not finding things intuitive here.... where can I find some help in terms of how to use this platform, find friends & groups, and interact???
