I suggested to my friend to join Nostr. He feels there are currently either too many posts about Bitcoin or about various applications and updates of #Nostr itself. How do we bring (and keep) new general public to Nostr who talks about life in general, and diverse topics related to art, business, emerging tech, health, research & education, social good, philanthropy, geopolitics, environment or sports etc? #AskNostr #SocialMedia

*non-technical I think the general consensus is that people will come eventually, that slowly this will change over time. Who knows. But yeah. I feel the same about inviting people here. They wouldn't stay. Sort of worth waiting a bit longer and see how things change...? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
what's happening here makes sense. it's foss, and we're shaping its identity, future developments, etc. there's no central chief visionary officer so we could skip this part. i think general discussion is coming. just today i met three diff, passionate guys - a bike geek, a japanese artist, and an amazing photographer. all to share their things. we should be patient, use the opportunity to be heard, and… keep sending notes!
this doesn't have to be a place for everyone (yet). maybe it's even better. nostr is still a baby, it's fragile, learning things, still needs time to meet the big world full of traps. just today i was thinking about nostr nests and clubhouse. what killed clubhouse was a bad strategy that worked like a magnet for quasi gurus, celebrities, coaches. the place was drained by them and left empty and sad. if i see a threat for nostr today it's getting some toxic hype. hopefully, can't happen without growth pumping algos.
