Network effects. Its not that we have too many bitcoiners, its that bitcoiners hit critical mass and became self-sustaining as a community, with recruitment exceeding attrition. I think permaculture has crossed that threshold on Nostr, too. We need more small communities like this.

I think what I meant to say is the growing Nostr is not a technical problem to solve. Its a political campaign to be won, and its the "ground game" of millions of conversations that will win it (and most of those on other media). The technical side needs to "just work". New features are nice-to-have, but Nostr can win comfortably without them as long as it is stable and welcoming.

@Derek Ross was just sharing about Nostrudel and designing your own algorithm based on interests. Maybe you can curate your own experience differently. I know months ago I did do some of that. It's hard for me to evaluate how well it's working but I definitely diversified my feed a bit. Now I feel like it needs a purge.
