I was on NOSTR when I came across this article by ODELL.
I've already seen people reposting from other social media on NOSTR... About me, I usually do the other way around. I try to post Nostr posts on other platforms...
And I've seen discussions here on why Nostr is "not growing" and I have a theory about Social Media platforms, let me explain furthermore... Take as an example:
-
X Formerly knew as Twitter, is not bad, IMO it was improved by Elon Musk (although the name change seems a bit ridiculous), for me it's the best place to compete against mainstream media. All I need is to type "#TheNameofaCountry" and I'll be able to know almost everything that's happening there without going to google a read a bunch of different news websites.
-
Instagram Most of my friends are there, ideal for truly personal stuff and to market my local business.
-
Facebook Dead?
-
TikTok Need to filter a lot of stuff there, but when I need some laughs, I go there... Last days some of my videos (news content) were seen by people in Africa, I suppose their mobile network there gives them some sort of free access to TikTok.

NOSTR Gotta admit most NOSTR users are Bitcoin and Tech nerds... At least I consider myself into this niche... I know it should be an anti censorship social media but I couldn't find a example of how NOSTR is changing the lives of people living in Cuba, China, UAE, Turkey or any country that has some level of censorship. (I know that's debatable...)
IMO, the core problem with this situation is marketing. None of us, NOSTR users, have billions of dollars to spend on marketing campaigns in order to make it something more universal.
A solution? I don't have. I'm working on video and article tutorials to be shared on mainstream social media and hopefully somehow reach more people...
What projects you know it could benefit from NOSTR?
