I also think the change from Nothing Ever Happens to Something Happening has got a lot of people on / back on / more on Twitter. Seems to be the case with people I know and seems to make sense, it's still the breaking news platform (despite all the ai slop). This isn't really a criticism, unlike my previous post. I don't think nostr can or perhaps even should try to compete with that (I really don't know). That's just the way it is.

But come on realistically nostr is not going to compete with twitter for breaking news, I don't even think Bluesky can manage that sort of network effect. You're not really going to get the eg Iranian general public posting a video on nostr or some sort of attack. For a % of 4k daily users to see. They'd literally have to paint a Bitcoin logo on a mine or something to get attention here.
