 Fundamentally the “problem” with nostr is that it’s a Twitter clone. 

Why would a normie move from twitter to nostr? We did because we care about freedom of speech. The network effects matter more to them. 

If we want to move the world off twitter, we have to design something different and better where they spend more time. 

The alternative is to just build stuff for ourselves without caring whether other people use it. 
 not to mention the competition with activitypub, bluesky(lol), threads, elontwit. It’s a way more saturated market than when twitter launched.

The only thing that will get people’s attention is having a large set of solid apps that are fun, where you can easily switch between securely, and all have zap integration. That’s the world I want to live in. We’re not even close to that yet. We have a few almost usable apps. 
 yes, we need some serious man hours spent on building them out to some polish

and stop with this twitter cloning fixation

we need to make long form built in easily

we need to integrate the media uploading fully

we need the markets to work

we want to kill facebook, we have to king hit on every point they do to win 
 Well write on the copy thing.

if we are smart enough should we build only things that are usefull without checking box that are outdated. 

we are not printers !  
 it's hard to say exactly how we will catch the market but we are a swarm of cyberhornets and we are all looking at different things and we have a different target and we will plant our sting into every thing that we see 
 Oh boy ! that mean u are on a agenda cuz everyone knows that hornets have a central commander, a queen. A single point of failure. 

Like usual it will fail. Good luck w ur sting things.
