"we need creative new ways to breach into the network effect properties of other social networks" At that point we still want to offer a good UX, but the need for attention to user experience is inversely proportional to the real and unique value provided by the application/service. Simply because usefulness and entertainment are key factors in UX, and network effect is one of the main conditions to achieve this goal. I suspect that the user experience on major platforms has deteriorated as they’ve become mainstream, traffic increases, and they have become trapped within monolithic services and clients. Nostr can easily solve this problem thanks to decentralization and diversity.
