Yep. And the point with communication is to reach an audience. Nostr will have better reach in a few years. It is easier to attract people to Nostr if we demonstrate confidence. Confidence means that we don't have a need to lash out at other communication channels.

I'm not sure that Nostr will have any reach if people look at it that way though. If it's just an afterthought, and it's not where the audience has to go in order to interact with people, where's the incentive? Surely enough people have to do decide to go Nostr only to actually get the snowball rolling?

Some will go Nostr-only, and yes, that is part of how it'll get traction. The dogmatic users push the unknown into the broader awareness. The "broader awareness" is the tough one though. Looking at it like an afterthought isn't right exactly. Changes at the general level happen when a need isn't being met or when a prior way of meeting the need is inferior. That is the case here, seemingly. The rest of the obstacle is demonstrating why it's better to everyone that doesn't see why already. Instead of as an afterthought, it's best to make it an in-addition-to approach. The existing systems are all competing with one another, Nostr isn't free from that competition. So, it should go on the list of "where to find me" with the legacy ones. Introduction in this way is subtle, nearly frictionless and makes others ask people they trust already about it.

Thoughts?? Just gauging the sentiment. #asknostr #entrepreneur nostr:nevent1qqsvwk3d2xy63kypquws6vqxh4eagrm3vanpz8meaup3txej0q3kmscprdmhxue69uhkummnw3e8qatz9euk2emgwfhjuumfw3jj7q3qmz7w8mm74p29d2xn4v8rdpy2y3jht4ecau8wczm7qsvp6zxmnj7sxpqqqqqqz9hjhdc

I just feel like if you see a list of where to find me, and the top 3 things in the list are all places that you've heard of already and you already have an account there, why would you ever bother with the number 4 spot on the list. I think we need to achieve a critical mass of people saying this is no.1, and there is no 2nd best.
