Imagine your “Global Town Square” being a Platform and not a Censorship Resistant Protocol. image

My wife opened an X account on January 21st. There's a reason why she's not calling it Public Square and, instead, she chose the term Public Toilet.

Maybe nostr will be adopted on a need basis
We need to lean into the fact that we can't be shut down, so do more things the governments strongly dislike Talking about bitcoin isn't gonna cut it, apparently government loves Bitcoin now?
For me it became a "i'm tired of this platform" moment. I'll likely still use X, but the overall community aspect and decentralization aspects of nostr are most appealing. That and plenty of shared interest in BTC and the like :P

By making Nostr less toxic. The quality of content on this platform is a major obstacle to any adoption effort.
Reach out to prominent people who are affected by this. If they knew nostr existed they might come here and bring their audience with them. Not sure how to go about that though.
Not sure but from now on every high profile or influential person i get to have a chat with i’m gonna drop nostr in the convo
Start listening to me instead of ignoring everything I say Or find someone else with good ideas and listen to them Not sure why you'd ask this when you're probably just gonna ignore any smart ideas anyway
This can also be addressed by a better onboarding process / better apps Right now it's like nostr just wants to show new users how bad it can suck, instead of how good it can be
