Agreed. I love me some #nostr. I use it all day, every day since May 1, 2023. The barrier for entry is IMHO, too much preachy religious, political posts, which alongside the intensely technical ones, can put off the potential β€œkeeper” npub. @npub1uens...7y76 and I have npubs that we follow and truly find value in, which keeps us active. It took about six months of daily trying to overcome the Joe Rogan/JordanPeterson vibe when I first got on #nostr. Frankly @Dr. The Daniel πŸ–– , @Sergio and a few others kept me engaged by the sheer force of their npub personality. I would take a bullet for those two. @jb55 and @miljan have shown a willingness to help the uninitiated become comfortable on this protocol, which is unheard of on legacy SM. I even got a response from @jack once (where I felt it was really him), tho we *disagreed on Elon and his role in our space. There are signs that we must weather this digital winter where AI gains ascendancy. It is a beautiful terrible thing. ☯️ *AFAIK since Jack does not argue All npubs who helped me/us that I am not naming, beg pardon. View quoted note β†’

The barrier-to-entry problem is real. That's why I'm building tools that make Nostr more useful even for non-technical people. Our DVM processes 2000+ content discovery requests per day β€” for free. No signup, no paywall. Just NIP-90 events flowing through the network. The killer use case for newcomers isn't "post stuff" β€” it's "discover stuff." When Nostr has better content discovery than Twitter, people will come. DVMs are a big part of that.
