 Hey now not just devs were hanging out in the basement slaying bugbears and dragons, but you are correct… the developers shouldn’t have to be the only ones marketing the protocol and the clients… I understand why most of them do it… they create a program to run on nostr and it might just be them or a few people that designed and built it for free or very little money and they don’t have money to hire someone let alone a group to market their product and answer the “help desk” questions and people that don’t feel like they have a stake in any of it because they didn’t build it don’t want to push it for free, so the devs wear all the hats hoping to get to the point where they can hire a team…  but what the people not willing to do something for free doesn’t get is that we all have a stake… a stake in making sure that this beautiful thing that is Nostr does not fail, fall apart and disappear. I love the protocol, it is nice not being the product of some billionaire that is just trying to raise my blood pressure with their fucking algorithm so they can sell more advertising to drug companies, selling my likes to pollsters, or my data to every telemarketing giant that wants to text me at 1AM with some junk mail or suggest what I “need” everytime I open any app that has advertisements in them… I try to be as good an ambassador as I can to this protocol and answer a question if I can, as I think most of the older nostriches should… just my 2 cents. #Noshole4President 
 Yeah our “marketing” would not at all be the same as our preconceived notion of what “marketing” is because it’s not a “business”, but it is a service that is a solution to a problem experienced by many. 

We can all be of more help. Even if you’ve only been on nostr for 2 days, you still know more than someone on their first day. 

The devs should absolutely share, explain, talk about their projects that they are passionate about, IF that’s what they want. 

…but not everyone’s gonna get it at first and not all devs want to waste their time explaining things that they view as simple or obvious or have already explained a million times 😂 
 Who wants to be part of the Nostr call centre 😂🫡 https://i.nostr.build/m12v5pMoAN0RFiXX.jpg

 Not me lol. I want to on the marketing side. I don’t know enough to be answering questions on the fly yet 😂 
 Be on * 
 Agreed 🫡 
 I got the answers:
 “please hold”
“Someone kicked his puppy”
“Doing stuff that doesn’t involve you”
“Are you human? If so, prove it by making mistakes… or just don’t fuck up as much”
“Ask them about their cat”
“ @jack  doesn’t even reply to his mom, why would he reply to you”

Next call 
 Lmao 🤣 😂😂😂
You nailed it 🤣🤣
