Nostr's most popular use case right now is a Twitter alternative, though it's a Twitter alternative on steroids, because that's what we needed in the present. In the coming months and years, as the "Other Stuff" expands, we'll start to see the masses see Nostr as more than just "social media" but as a much larger social and communication ecosystem. We just have to wait for users to dream it and developers to build it.

I'd like to see Nostr's next big push move into areas that need Nostr the most such as a Reddit alternative. This will showcase Nostr as both Twitter like social and community like social. Thankfully, this vision is already underway with NIP-172. 🤙🏻

They did say this about twitter in the early days. Facebook network effect would never allow twitter to grow…

However, if nostr is seen as just a twitter clone, that will be the case. It will always be in the shadow.

Nostr has to focus on what sets it apart. Then people will run to it. note19nu…7ead
