Looks like content on #NOSTR is improving significantly as well.
The looming threat of a paywall blocking all free access to 𝕏 (Twitter) makes that more significant.
I saw a poll on that topic. 96% of 38,800+ 𝕏 users indicate that they are completely unwilling to,pay even 5¢/month (60¢/year) for access. 2% would pay a nickel per month, and 1% voted for each of 50¢ or "even more than $2."
I'm in that first category.
It's not the money. I would even consider paying a nickel/month in ṩatṩ or DOGE. It's both the principle and the practical matter of refusing to entrust such an egregiously dishonest actor with my billing info.
So, I'm glad that NOSTR is gradually gaining traction.
Gradually is important for now, because I want to see a strong suite of cultural norms to evolve before there's any major influx of users.
Folks will need time to explore and internalize how NOSTR is different (self sovereign identity, truly decentralized notes/events propagation) and develop customs and tooling to optimize behavior within this environment.
