 Reddit has all of the things, porn & toxic convo included & more but that's a bad example because they leveraged in use forum structures & just allowed for everyone to build out their own communities meanwhile not forcing anyone to sign up to read it.

Why do all these Bitcoiners create a presence on Nostr?!

This is a much more intelligible conversation than the inverse: "how do we dilute Bitcoiners on Nostr".

Bitcoiners, at large, are attracted to freedom & anti-coercion protocols even if inconvenient compared to alternatives.

Re: we're willing to sacrifice more & obtain less.

This is a pioneer's mentality.

Most people can't be part of that building environment of paving way for future users / communities to migrate to Nostr.

As of right now, most people who share novel content don't care about censorship so much that they're willing to basically cut their audience by 99% or waste time building their audience on something that is highly inconvenient.

People feel like if they leave the most used social medias that they are essentially accepting censorship & are basically leaving the global conversations & trends in the rearview mirror.

Guess what tho? Where is the best place to ask about Bitcoin related topics? ->#asknostr
