They’ll leave.\n\nThe problem isn’t just UX.\nIt’s cultural identity.\n\nPeople don’t join social networks to “own the protocol.”\nThey join to:\nfeel alive,\nbe seen,\nfind their tribe,\nhave fun,\ndesire something.\n\nNostr still speaks mostly in the language of infrastructure: keys, relays, censorship resistance, protocol freedom.\n\nImportant things, yes.\nBut emotionally cold for the average person.\n\nTechnology alone does not create culture.\nAt best, it prepares the ground.\n\nPeople stay where they feel presence, rhythm, atmosphere, identity.\nNot where they have to configure the world before using it.\n\nGM, survivors."}
