 It’s hard. People don’t stick around for a few people usually. They need a sufficient number of their network to move as well. 
 Ya but more importantly is to make sure their first experience is better. Thats so so important. We are gonna change this 
 Truth be told people will hop through all sorts of obstacles if the reward is worth it. Bitcoiners do this all the time because so many are principled. Good first experience is a must for sure, but that’s only a tiny part of what really keeps people around: other people and or good content. 
 I’ve just heard so many bad first experiences lately. And I’ve seen it first hand. @tiffapiffa  is gonna give us some advice. She’s a designer for a massive company 💜 but keep in mind Tiffany we have like less than 5 developers lol

 I have zero people from my previous "network" here, and interact with maybe a dozen people, and I'm Nostr only. Probably because I got off social media *before* joining Nostr.

If you want growth, you have to recognize that 90% of social media users do not even post. They just want to 1. read the news, 2. find funny memes from other people, 3. follow a few celebrities.

All this could be achieved with bots that mirror X accounts, couldn't it? 
 In other words: people and content 
 Yeah, but not the type of content that you and I can produce. 
 I probably already do 😆 
 They want addicting stuff

 No need for algos. Just mirror the bloody BBC and Elon. 
 I can find you that. But not if they can’t even upload a profile pic. Lol we’re fixing that 
 I disagree. It’s the barriers to entry 
 Everything hinges on motivation 
 Nostriches had the highest barrier to entry yet here we are. We were properly motivated.
