Seriously good question, and that is where #Nostr/#Primal should begin to grow their brand; and let me tell you, smart people can't and shouldn't answer this question. So, sit down with your #Dog, and ask him, why can't you log into #Nostr? Because your dog can answer better than I ever could.

Discovering what's missing from the feed, and utility, most people aren't looking for a platform where they can't be censored, they're looking for information regarding their local fire station, their favorite artists, what congress is doing, news or even drama or political drama.
Got it, so you're thinking of nostr as just a twitter replacement I'd assume? If that's the case then maybe I'd agree with you, but that's the network effect, rather than a technical problem, is it not? Twitter had the same problem at the start, "how do we get people to use this, if people aren't using this?" Nostr is honestly so much more than just twitter, it's honestly better to compare it to a layer on top of http that handles identity, decentralized data publishing and validation, and it just so happens that twitter (kind 1) apps are among the easiest to develop. Personally the microblogging/kind 1 is the least exciting part of nostr to me. What I meant by that, in case you're not technically inclined, is that many more applications can be built (and are being built) on this protocol, and with the twitter-clones we're just scratching the surface!
