Make that 4,001. I apologize for my absence lately; life has thrown a few curveballs my way so I’m learning to bob and alice. I mean bob and weave. Legacy social media gained users in lock-step with the internet itself gaining adoption, right? People were figuring out how to get online, and then how to curate an internet persona, and things like facebook and Twitter were there to help people connect with friends and audiences for the first time. That’s the “zero to one” that got solved. I’m confident that nostr solves many problems with the existing internet. But the question is whether there are throngs of people in search of these solutions. “The masses” don’t need to be happy with mass surveillance and deplatforming, they just need to feel less inconvenienced by those issues than they would feel by learning how to Nostr, in order to remain stuck in the old system. Shower thoughts. Don’t know the answer. PV.
