>”But none of my friends or coworkers who have created an npub have logged in after their first day or two, go my knowledge. Namely because censorship-resistant, Bitcoin-enabled, freedom tech stuff isn’t a priority for most of them. So it seems like it’s still a self-selecting audience, at least for a social media use case.”

While most people will join Nostr because their friend are here, it’s also true that the more people join, the more diverse will be the social networks on Nostr. Social onboarding, friends inviting friends to nostr, is a way to “naturally” grow this diversity. 

Nostr is a self selecting audience. It should be for as long as possible. But this alone won’t keep growth away. Indeed, the more we preserve this culture of respecting freedom technology, while welcoming real and diverse personalities to join us, the stronger our culture will be as we grow toward the network effect. 

The people will come. How do we keep them interested?
