That is a good point. I tried out gab and thought this could turn into something good, but it was mostly trashing left wing politics. While I enjoy a good meme trashing any political party, I didn't find anything too useful there. I didn't find any conversations about solutions, or any respectful discussion

I have not convinced any of my friends into joining nostr. I know only one of them is into bitcoin, so maybe that plays a role here. I had a hard time convincing them to join signal for messaging.

I do think many people are pushed away from nostr by 'toxic' bitcoiners. Maybe the 'we're going to topple the government by using bitcoin' is just too obsurd or extreme to many. Or the propaganda that bitcoin is used by terrorists (only because it is useful, lol)
