Subema on Nostr: Thinking about nostr as a social network in general, and I think it will end up like ...
Thinking about nostr as a social network in general, and I think it will end up like esperanto and/or the demoscene. A fringe space being replenished here and there by newcomers but never getting the avalanche effect. In the demoscene case, it's understandable; in the esperanto case, it's a little sadder. Whatever it turns out to be for nostr, I started it as a tumblr/alterego outlet, so I don't necessarily see a reason to stop dumping my inner thoughts here, but I get it if someone lacks the "social" in the social network.
