When I talk about Nostr to people who know nothing about it they are excited that you can:
- own your social graph and take it with you
- your feed is only who you follow, not ads or other recommendations. The ability to curate is key
For people who take the plunge and join the biggest complaint is:
- lack of diverse content. Even people who own Bitcoin are sick of hearing about it all the time.
- - Paired with 2 above, new users bail almost instantly bc they don’t see content that is relevant to their interests.
- in market research and also from user research people see Twitter-like apps as a great way to get news. On Nostr they don’t see the news they are looking for. This is not always mainstream news it can be specific to a topic or region. On Nostr most of the news is RSS feeds that often overwhelm a timeline making it difficult to see other content.
- - to solve the above problem Nos created a news relay news.nos.social that only select journalists can post to. We have plans to update it in the next couple of weeks to add more news outlets and journalists. NOTE: anyone can read from this relay.
