Nostr has pretty bad marketing imo. As a Bitcoin person and a person who understands P2P protocols, it appeals to me. But on-boarding and advertising for new users is not working well.
We are emphasizing censorship resistance. This is not a concern for most users. In fact, they would say they want some degree of censorship/moderation and view users who want "censorship resistance" as generally being the last users they want to interact with. They think nostr is "truth social but with crypto". Many users on lemmy/mastodon/etc aren't interested in nostr because they believe it's entirely unmoderated even though nostr provides literally identical moderation functionalities as activitypub.
We need a simple, default suggested route for new users. Not a page listing 100 different ways to connect to nostr.
We should be emphasizing: autonomy in digital spaces (relays have their own moderation policies, you get to choose which ones you connect to), decentralization (not be locked into facebook etc), federation (twitter clone that can interact with other apps built on nostr).
