Oddbean new post about login | logout Guys, I had a thought. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t 🤷♀️ but figured it was worth putting out there. Do any of you know if a guy named Dr. Shawn Baker is on #nostr? I used to follow him on Twitter ( https://x.com/sbakermd ) and was checking to see if he is here and could not find him. So I was thinking 💭 maybe if we pick one person a week to #PurplePill 💜 (once they are here is they are not already #OrangePilled 🧡, they will get OrangePilled here just naturally 😁) and everyone that still has a Twitter account and or an Instagram account can DM that person, so their DMs (or even comments) blow up with Nostr invites from everyone 😎. We could start with Dr. Shawn Baker Collective effort often yields better results than working alone. #AskNostr
P.S. @saifedean maybe you know him? When I was checking to see how many Bitcoiners follow him, I saw you there 😍 maybe he is a bitcoiner and I didn’t know? If he is already a bitcoiner and not here yet, he should be easy to onboard. I don’t have twitter anymore otherwise I would DM him myself 🫥
Saylor is here also
Yes, I know him and I orange pilled him a long time ago... And, believe it or not, I even helped carnivore -pill him! I'll let him know about nostr
Well that’s impressive! 👏 I had a feeling you knew him and since you are both carnivores I had a feeling there was something connection going on 🙃. 1st the Orange pill 🧡 Then the carnivore pill 🥩 And now, the Purple pill 💜 If anyone can give this #PurplePill to him, it’s for sure you 💪 I’ll be ready to give him a follow when he joins us here on Nostr. Thanks in advance 😁!
Have you been successfull?
I don’t have any other social media so no and not many have offered to do this so again no 🤷♀️ but I can say I’ve onboarded a few friends and I realized unless someone is actually ready and wanting real freedom it’s hard to keep them here long term. However I do think Bitcoiners and artist will see a lot of reason to stay so now I’ve brought a few guy friends that are hard core Bitcoiners and they have stayed without me giving an introduction and without me reminding them to check whatever app they downloaded to use Nostr.
If anyone has tips for getting people to jump ship and join nostr, I’d love to hear them. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to untether many from Elon but I think they are a lost cause.
I mean one by one they will come on their own when they seek interest in freedom of speech. However if we concentrate our efforts on one individual (let’s say one per week) —whether because of their informative content, humor, or any other reason—and consistently engage with them through direct messages and comments, inviting them to #nostr, I'm confident they'll be intrigued at least enough to come see what’s going on here. 💜 We don't need to rush everyone over immediately. As I mentioned, many will naturally gravitate here in due course. However, expediting the onboarding for a select few whom we'd like to #OrangePill 🧡 or whose content we admire and ir just enjoy reading could be beneficial. This is especially true for those like myself who are no longer on Twitter.
