I'm in my villian phase. Actively telling people the social media I use isn't for them. Then I trail off or don't elaborate. Also telling people Bitcoin isn't for them either. 😈 "Nah, you should talk to your bank" 😈
Tbf, that's basically baked in at the protocol level - all the early nips are social related and the apps all look broadly similar because theres only so many useful ways you can display the kind of info that's shared in those event types. More use cases and useful tools requires expansion of the NIPs.
I wonder if it's occurred to anyone that the biggest issue Nostr has getting new users is that when they do come here to check it out, WE'RE the ones they encounter...

Haha. You give someone 99 reasons why Bitcoin, and they are hell bent on some far fetched "why not". So I don't fight it anymore. Someone during the bull market wanted to talk to me about bitcoin fianlly but then started down a line saying "But the price goes up and down so much, so that's not good." And I just agreed. "Yeah you're right. It does. Yup." Then they concluded it's better to ask the bank advisor. "Yeah sounds good!"
