Billions of people adopt a tool or software because it solves a unique problem !

- #Twitter gained momentum because cell phones were just launched and networks were bad .. before EDGE .. it allowed an SMS to reach thousands of activists ..

- #whatsapp solved a similar problem but in a different fashion . They saw cellular data is going to be all pervasive .. and SMS tech was bad .. they took the idea of messaging but made it super friendly and useful leveraging 3g and LTE .. groups came much later .. people gave up SMS in favor of whatsapp without a second thought .. twitter lost the momentum ..

- #facebook - however evil it may be - connected families and friends like no one else ..

- before #gmail , email had data limitations . I think yahoo used to give 100 mb free .... gmail gave 5 gigs of data free ... It was a revolution . And then they made it pretty much unlimited ..

- #maps - need I say ?

Commoners don't care about #privacy , #centralisation or similar esoteric concepts .. these narratives are important to popular people who fear cancellation or persecution! Not saying these are not good things .. they are great .. only if tool solves a real problem !

Keep the eye on the ball #nostr ..What problem are you solving for a commoner ?

#Twitter interface was designed in 2006 .. .. #Facebook around the same time .. #whatsapp came around 2017 .. give or take

Do we want to bottle as pristine a #protocol as #nostr in those old interfaces ?

#askNostr

New protocol demands new innovations.. a paradigm shift ..

Logged into my [old] #twitter and #LinkedIn accounts to level set what is being delivered here on #nostr ..

1. The pace of dev on #nostr is super amazing .. X has improved a little bit , LinkedIn is same old interface .. almost unusable.

2. The KYC has taken over - you can't do much without being a verified on X and a premium on LinkedIn.. the "MUCH" is pretty negligible..

3. Grok integration is open to non verfied .. and the AI looks pretty impressive ..

4. You cant download any content , particularly vids ! .. don't know if its an improvement or going backwards !

5. Cross posing is painful ..

6. No in eternal developer ever posts on their own platforms .. you will NEVER know a single dev building X or LinkedIn

7 . Feed is nothing but advertisement.. an extreme perversion of platforms .. and Elon's post :-)

So people still use these platforms or the numbers just made up ?
