Good point, but all these "devs" who are into "decentralization" and were supposed to like Nostr apparently don't give a shit about it (because their entire discourse is a lie, they don't really care about technology, they only care about what their leftist friends think of them, see for example that guy who wrote "protocols, not platforms" and is literally being paid by a platform now) and are happy with Bluesky and their lies, so who else can we target? We can't be serious about attracting florists, musicians, serial entrepreneurs, biologists, mathematicians or milkshake producers, right? The only other demographic I can think about are people into politics that lean more to the right, but most of these seem to in love with Elon Musk still. We're left with the conspiracy theorists who see the threat of X and Musk dominance, like Whitney Webb and Ian Carroll joined Nostr and James Corbett mentioned it multiple times, none of them made the jump into Nostr that we needed. Anyway, these are the big guns of the movement as far as I know, so it's understandable that they didn't, but there might be smaller players who will be more interested immediately. I guess there is the big avenue of people who just want to make a group with their friends, or with other florists, and we're already moving in that direction already with NIP-29 groups and growing support for topic, theme, niche and semi-closed relays. I'm happy about it. Nothing prevents us from moving into multiple directions at once though.

How you see things: > but all these "devs" who are into "decentralization" and were supposed to like Nostr apparently don't give a shit about it (because their entire discourse is a lie, they don't really care about technology, they only care about what their leftist friends think of them, see for example that guy who wrote "protocols, not platforms" and is literally being paid by a platform now) and are happy with Bluesky and their lies, so who else can we target? The reality: More than a few devs came to Nostr from ActivityPub, OStatus, SSB, etc. Queer, left-wing, Linux neckbeards, people from countries that were put on the U.S. "naughty list", etc. They contributed a bunch to the Nostr ecosystem and were either ignored or actively managed out by Nostr insiders. The very same people who pushed them out are now predictably virtue signalling about how everyone outside the hard inner circle is "virtue signalling". > The only other demographic I can think about are people into politics that lean more to the right, but most of these seem to in love with Elon Musk still. Ding, ding, ding! Can we admit that the only devs and users most Nostrichs want or trust on Nostr are more of the same right-wing BTC Twitter crowd that effectively don’t want to be here?

Why devs? 🧐

Milkshake producers need to recharge so you won't get any milkshake in this yard

Also, fuck em, weoutchea

Most Bitcoiners... "They’re literally the same party. Don’t participate, decentralize and focus on your local community. Our elite need us to participate in their divide and conquer campaigns, so let’s not. Don’t let the matrix define happiness for you," This is the male equivalent of women who buy crystals and witch craft materials from their local Target. 😆 Cernovich

Peter McCormack is probably the person to reach out to, he seems to have reached out of the bitcointwitter bubble. Would be good if he at least had nostr in his linkedin. Perhaps if he mentioned he's on there in his show. Or if we sponsored his show.

I have tried to speak to him on here, but I don't think he looks at his replies. Plus I'm a nobody 🥲
