 Bluesky is a media darling, Nostr is an underdog.

 Escaping from one bad situation to jump in one even worse or at least similar is not the solution 
 It's the naming. Sunshine would have been more catching 
 If I were someone who stood to financially gain from a massive conversion of users to a particular platform, the President is the first person I'd pay for promotion.  Not an accusation - just sayin'.

"On Thursday, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil shared on X a list of his accounts on other platforms. The list started with Bluesky."

 The one thing the absolute vast majority of end users want is relevant Content Discovery.

And it's exactly where Nostr sucks the most (a new user dl Damus or Amethyst will see the Global feed, just find spam, and leave in 5min)

We should not be surprised. 
 Which is probably great.

Like what #Bitcoin did, let #Nostr fly under the radar until it becomes unstoppable!
