Nobody reads my posts so this is more of a thought bookmark than anything else, but: as Threads exploits the momentum of its existing network, a useful reminder to nostr advocates to pay close, strategic attention to the adoption paradigm. Nostr is starting from 0, whereas Threads starts at 9 on a scale of 10.
Aside from all the ideological and technical reasons nostr is the superior offer, inertia matters for the adoption cycle.
If we want nostr to succeed, we should not only make onboarding more simple and straightforward, we need to be building footholds for influential users to join. Who are these potential users? What benefits can we offer them here that they can't find anywhere else? How to convince them to join and become platform ambassadors?
These problems are easier to solve when you have a team of growth hackers and marketers on payroll with lots of spend. How are we going to match that as a decentralized community?
My suggestion on this is to focus on journalists. If nostr can become the "go-to" channel for journalism distribution and monetization, if journalists choose to join and anchor themselves to the nostr ecosystem, everyday users will adopt. We need to make it beneficial for journos to join. How do we do this?
