This is why I think it's better to reach out to #mastodon ... (A), these are people who already understand the value of social media decentralization, (B) they have no easy way of monetization to begin with (they tend to have to say "visit my patreon" or whatever), and (C) we can kinda-sorta actually communicate with them over the bridges, unlike X or Bluesky.
Just like it's easier to onboard people to Bitcoin who already have "broken money" than already have access to 1st-world financial products, it will be easier to onboard to Nostr the ~millions of Mastodon users who have zero means of monetization.

someone created the client mostr.pub that acts as a bridge between 'nostr' and the fediverse. they also did a relay so that if you want to see what they publish there, you can subscribe:
wss://relay.mostr.pub/
The only thing mastodon and Nostr have in common is decentralization, you actually have more of a chance of being censured on mastodon than traditional, centralized social media which is the complete opposite of what Nostr stands for.
Yep, aware of #mostr and #momostr -- had the pleasure of being cussed out by the Dev of the former for pointing out its issues 🙃
The extent to which you can get "banned" on Mastodon is only one server... And there are hundreds if not thousands of different active servers, as I've seen as I've interacted with people across the bridge. Practically everyone that I followed has been on a different server.
This is qualitatively different from (say) BlueSky which is still de-facto operated by a single company.
