Interesting dynamic here with some users wanting to delete their answers off of StackOverflow but the site is keeping them. In some ways nostr is the opposite, no?

We should all do what we can, speak out for the cause of bitcoin self custody and financial sovereignty, build what you can and teach who you can. But I think it's fair to draw the line at not expecting people to 'martyr' themselves at the hands of the state. For e.g. when I see nym accounts attacking public name and real face people for not being perfectly non-KYC pure, it's just cringe. You expect that guy to just 'go to jail for the cause'? Come on now, just encourage people to play their role as best they can.

One thing that keeps the network effect over on twitter (or 'X' as it might be called soon), is that the interactions are over there. So it's not just about cross posting things across platforms, it's also about who's interacting and in what ways are they interacting. Of course i'm longer term bullish on nostr vs Twitter/X, but it'll take time.
