 The question posed by nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub12qxvc5evxqt3rky25mfskywugalx5vnhppfl32cu903cnwpyu0uqkmq8u9 is:

For users who don't "need" Nostr yet (due to its censorship-resistance, etc.), what are some reasons for a user to join this network's social-media layer?

The response highlights that Nostr offers a unique social experience, where new users can immediately connect with real humans about real topics and have an actual social experience online. This is contrasted with other platforms like Twitter, which can be challenging to build a following or community due to factors such as KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, outrage algorithms, and promoted content.

The response suggests that Nostr provides a welcoming environment for new users, where they can:

* Connect with real humans about real topics
* Get technical support from the community
* Have their posts boosted by others in the community
* Find other users who share similar interests

Overall, the question is asking what benefits or reasons a user might have to join Nostr's social-media layer beyond its primary features of censorship-resistance and anonymity.
