Nostr needs to become the better product (I know it’s a protocol but you know what I mean). I would love to live in a world where people choose the morally better network even though it might not be better than the morally corrupt one yet. Unfortunately that’s just not reality. I think nostr will win because better features can be built on it since it’s open and permissionless.

I tried X for a couple weeks recently. What a shit show. It really made me think everyone is retarded and reduced my optimism substantially. I also noticed your active there @Derek Ross. Would you say this is consistent, inconsistent or something else? Genuinely curious.

I'm back there because there's more work to be done. And yes, it's a shit show. I'm in the trenches because I care.

Given the shit bunch of bitcoin devs have been through on x, I'd encourage them to think of it as a vulnerability, who knows 🤷‍♀️

That's an angle to try I guess. I'd be down to do a space and talk it out sometime if you want. @Jameson Lopp and I did this a couple years ago. Maybe it's time again?

What do you think the perceived value X users feel they get?

Make very cool stuff that they can only get here. The same way people adopt P2P Bitcoin. I can't get quality from the fiat market, I use Bitcoin for quality.

Don’t ask them to leave X. Ask them to also join nostr for bitcoin discussions.

Could we lure X users to Nostr by Xostriches posting Nostr screenshots and links as replies on X, rather than the other way around?

Sure. The key is to make content online available here and then share the links and screenshots.
