 First of thanks nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m for his honesty and valid points. 
I’m a regular user, no dev. From my point of view #nostr has improved much. More stable, nice apps like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg  but:
A) as stated on stage in nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r I despise the black and white stance on X ( or any other social network). Svetski is on point that freedom and censorship resistance isn’t enough for the vast majority out there. 
Freedom of choice is paramount. Promoting #nostr as the only legit social network because xyz is turning off many people AND WE DESPERATELY NEED THEM ➡️ B)

B) as a content creator about #travel #travelstr or #photography there are very view like minded individuals here. The network needs a broader audience and you don’t achieve it by talking “security” out your ass. No doubt it’s important but the most common password is 12345 and the average Joe doesn’t give a damn. 

It is frustrating to see the same 6 accounts posting about my topics. There is not much inspiration or surprises. 

C) IMHO the killer app is being paid by your audience w/o fees or intermediaries. Of course one will cater to the will of one’s audience to harvest sats ( no change here to Youtube or IG) but at least you are more free to choose your topics. But B) is crucial. 

UI/Ux must improve, nsec handling also needs to cater Uncle Tommy and #nostr needs some influencers who move here and post exclusive content apart from Bitcoin, IT Security and Freedom.
