smol ting: nostr is a protocol, not a platform
and i too have tried many times last year, ppl dont stick somehow..
or you get ignored bc you're getting associated with yet another shill of something techy.. it's all getting lost in the sea of shitcoin spambots and gab or truth social shills and other "decentralised" platforms"..
ppl need to find their own internal motivation eventually i guess
i was probably tired when i wrote that, ik ;)
also definitely that too.
i think the whole CrYpTo thing hasn't helped with that for sure. people become skeptical.
the only way to onboard is when people want to escape. however for many of the people i enjoy reading on that app they are typically influential. just everyday retards, not like influencers (if that makes any sense)
tech twitter has it's own network of people that i follow.
many are involved in the current AI thing.
many know eachother because they've been there for years
it's not too dissimilar to the culture we've built up here
