Jack only wanted to make an alternative to twatter... in other words another place where people can fight online for nothing.

People looking to nostr as a social media protocol, they are wrong. Nostr is something different.

I suspect that at the beginning of Twitter or Reddit the posts were relatively low effort/ quality. People are people afterall, and most of us are dumb. The curious thing is that nostr had a initial burst from bitcoiners interested in decentralization and then it got a burst from Jack and yet it still didn't thrive. BitcoinTalk managed to thrive -- was this because it was the only place to talk about bitcoin?

This cold start problem is not exactly new. But it may still be a mystery. Bitcoin kinda made it through the problem, nostr probably hasn't -- SN certainly hasn't.

Is Nostr imploding?!
