So many notes about bluesky, and many points missed.
- topical reasons: 99% of notes are about nostr or bitcoin, not only are these uninteresting to Normies many are repulsed by these topics.
- onboarding: bluesky protocol was designed to accomplish a specific goal, a goal that decentralization takes a back seat to. This means they can more quickly achieve UX that closely aligns with what people EXPECT.
- philosophy: the majority of people "fleeing" to blueksy are statists. That other 1% of content on nostr is overtly anti-statism. Not only would an influx of statists be catastrophic to our culture, you are batshit crazy if you think you can impose a dumptruck of philosophical pivots on tens of millions of people before they shift the direction of the protocol to one that resembles statism.

nostr's strength is not building another twitter. nostr's strength is that it is a protocol that enables possibilities that facilitate the invention of new experiences that nobody has yet conceived, possibilities that none of us EXPECT. These possibilities cannot be atomized and codified into a coherent roadmap created by any central committee. Nostr is a place of possibilities.

Being capable of facilitating what none of us expect is nostr's strength. It can't be forced. It can't rushed. The time will come. excercise patience and embrace the unknown.
