I applaud those working to make Nostr mainstream but we have to realize that it might not happen for a while. Twitter was a thing for a long time before it took off for normies. For me at the end of the day, nostr is freedom tech. That's why I'm here. Most people don't know they need freedom tech.

I agree freedom tech is so important, whether most people realize it or not.
That's exactly why we need to solve the adoption/retention problem.
Sustainable before mainstream. If grants like OpenSats dry up due to low user adoption, then the main devs will find it much harder to afford to code for Nostr on user donations alone—even with vibe coding. Period.
Last year (before the grant) was literally the first year we didn't see Will from Damus posting his usual annual plea about not making enough money for Damus development to be sustainable.
