> We NEED a critical mass of interesting people to follow who also engage.

WHY?

Nostr should structure itself to enable that kind of ecosystem, not beg for it. Stacker news enabled that kind of ecosystem for Bitcoiners without begging for it. Why should nostr rely on wishful thinking?
I'm sure randomly jumping in the middle of polite conversations with belligerent irrelevant criticisms will really drive engagement. I mean, you can't find that anywhere else on the internet.
Nostr is already structured to "enable that kind of ecosystem". If nostr enthusiasts want us to use it, then it's up to them to make it a place we want to go. It's not up to us to just want to be there.

MY SINCERE APOLOGIES

I am very passionate about this, but that is still no excuse for my actions

I just don't think it's a good growth strategy to rely on enthusiasts

Crypto companies talked a lot about "community" and "community-driven protocols" and "daos" and all that shit. It was an easy way for them to genuinely delude themselves into thinking they were making a difference. Just because we got people buying into this shit who get the ideology doesn't mean we're running an experiment that is working.

The real test that nostr needs to pass to truly be called a decentralized social media is people who don't actually give a shit about nostr using nostr because it just is better than the alternatives

This is what I was trying to communicate in a manner as snarky and as belligerently as possible.
