Town-square micro-blogging, aka Big World, is not the breakout use case for Nostr, just as consumer operating system was not the breakout use case for Linux (servers were).

Nostr won't hit serious numbers until the breakout use case is found, and when that happens town-square microblogging will take a relative back seat for some years, perhaps to return later. But on a positive note that breakout use case will be glorious.

Town-square microblogging is however a great genesis use case—something to get the ball rolling and keep it rolling until the breakout use case emerges from the quantum soup.

Self-slap for the mixed-metaphor.
