Proceeding on from this, Nostr is a system with high barrier to entry (relative to Twitter) and no network effect helping it out. Plenty of reasonably famous people who'd have thousands of Twitter followers if they were there have dozens of followers here, and single-digit like counts. Libertarianism (or, more broadly, the libertarian impulse to try to outthink tyranny with a series of rules that make it impossible) is the reason Nostr has any users at all, or exists in the first place. There is no demographic of "normal" users who would pick Nostr as their social media site of choice absent other factors.
