 true, this was focused on the masses. until they have to. i do think they care a lot more about privacy than censorship resistance. best to build these systems in parallel and be ready for masses to switch. but net new features and UI will get people to care first.

 I second this! I have been advocating #nostr with my lil 8k following. But they are focused on convenience in exchange for censorship resistance and privacy! they know about the implications of privacy, they know what data are collected from them but it did not matter to them. Until their livelihood which is dependent from those app is taken away from or when their identity has been stolen. sadly, people only care when it affects them. Hence, I always focused on the problem that Nostr can solve than enumerating features; I always focus on the "why". 
On a different note, hypothetically, if people do switch now to Nostr- do we have the relay capacity to support it and the speed? genuinely curious #asknostr 🤔
