What problem are we solving here? No one agrees on this.

Being a Twitter alt doesn’t solve a problem, there are plenty of those.

Certain people ( jack (npub1sg6…f63m)) think we should downplay the censorship/ freedom angle. Correct me if I’m wrong, going off memory here.

I am continually told “it doesn’t work well,” by those who are on here, interested, and who have npubs (and even, occasionally, thousands of followers).

We are also marketing a non-company (and thank G-D for that)

Nostr.band shows daily / monthly users on a consistent uptick across 2-6 mos. It’s not ready for an explosion—yet. I think Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) has said this, too.

What I *think* we are marketing is the fact that this just doesn’t suck like socials we are used to. And what I have learned from the past two years of covering social media platform news is people believe they are entitled to social media—for free—for self expression and connecting with other humans.

Atm “sucks less” and “meet more humans” is a position. 🤙
