nostr:npub1f4faufazfl4cf43c893wx5ppnlqfu4evy2shc4p9gknfe56mqelsc5f7ql has a new essay about what is bringing people to decentralized social protocols. He calls them Elon Musk Events (EVM’s) which drive people to leave one platform and try alternatives. 

He wrote the essay, Protocols, Not Platforms which really pushed forward the idea of social media protocols as a viable alternative to centralized platforms. 

The latest one on adopting social media protocols is somewhat focused on Bluesky but it talks about Nostr and other protocols. The point is we need to keep exploring and trying things to figure out what are the killer features that decentralized can do which isn’t easy or possible with centralized systems. Nostr has so much experimenting going on that it’s hard to keep track of which is amazing. We need to do a better job at talking to new and potential people in order that they are invited in and see value in staying.
