In the past, I tried twice to create twitter accounts. Both times, I got my account blocked by twitter as soon as I tried to follow you (Will), Matt Odell and Francis Pouliot. To unblock, I would have had to give them my phone number. That wasn't going to happen so I never had an account.

I then kept on following people whose opinions I cared about using an rss feed reader with different nitter instances (that read twitter for us). Those have now been blocked as far as I know.

So, from personal experience, it seems like Nostr just has to exist. Twitter and all the other centralized services will do the Nostr promotion for us. It just takes time. We're like what, 14 years in for Bitcoin? And many bitcoin-accepting merchant lists are still thin, even though it is really constantly getting easier to live on a Bitcoin standard in our daily lives. It just takes times. It's growing well.

Furthermore, people who are still ok with a centralized system at this point, ... well, to be frank, I don't what to know their opinions on other topics. My life is already pretty full. So I'm more than happy to have them stay over there. It's the Great Bifurcation 😀
