NOSTR isn't struggling. I am successfully recruiting Pedophiles from the Fediverse because their instances are getting holocausted there.
That's organic growth.
However, if you never lost your account on X or never lost your Fediverse instance, you will see NOSTR as unnecessarily complex.
B1tco1n started out as a tool for illegal drug sales on Silk Road so i understand why Co1ners may feel they belong here on Nostr but really at this point B1tco1n is is a financial instrument and y'all should stop acting like anybody is persecuting you or not allowing you to pump B1tco1n on X ...
as a precautionary measure of course i do understand why Co1ners may want to have backup since the Monopoly of Violence may choose to cash out at any moment ...
but really NOSTR must recruit from groups that are persecuted on Mainstream Social Media Platforms ...
Elon has restored not only conservatives but even most Nazis to X ... NOT ALL Nazis were restored but just enough that X is once again THE place for Nazis to hang out even if not all of them are there ...
Elon has basically killed off all the alternative platforms like GAB, GETTR, Truth Social and so on by allowing just enough freedom for most people to come back to Twitter from those platforms ...
The ONLY group that is still not welcome on X is pedophiles, and they are also seeing significant friction on Fediverse as well and realistically are the only group receptive to what NOSTR has to offer in terms of security and censorship resistance ...
B1tco1n was originally for drug dealers.
NOSTR must originally be for pedophiles.
