The main problem facing Nostr adoption I’ve seen after talking to a variety of bitcoiners in person is overcoming the inertia that you described of letting go of an existing follower base. I didn’t find it difficult personally, but I’m probably not the average user. The appeal of anonymity by using throwaway npubs for secure DMs is a killer app and has a completely different use case from public-facing social posts. One can still remain on X indefinitely knowing their content is stored on a centralized system and still choose Nostr for privacy over the alternatives.

This is yet another reason X was a retarded choice of platform to copy the design of instead of early-days reddit
Yeah, many will just be forced off. The question is whether they will consider the better solution or if they will just pick the next X because at least SOME of their followers are there.
Those who choose Nostr and bring their followers with them will enjoy a self made success while everyone else will continue tp beg for handouts until they dry up once again and again.
Reddit's design is horrible the up & downvote is to troll & push for advertising. Here we need an actual photo gallery not this implementation which is basically save a note to a tab.
i still need my social Media Accounts, of course you are right with your words. in Germany more and more people are censored and Accounts or Websites are blocked or blacklisted. in the next years more people will use Nostr i'm shure.
