Usage numbers to me mean nothing here because in my mind it’s the same 1,000,000 people using Nostr, setting up Mastadon instances, running crypto mining nodes, whatever else. There are two kinds of users - people who care about what window system their OS uses, and people who don’t even know what that means. One group uses every FOSS tool they can, the other doesn’t care at all. You don’t need to get the one kind of user, you need the other.
- alangibson 4y agoThis is true, for a while. Those hard core geeks occasionally incubate technologies to the point that they become easy and useful enough that they break out into the mainstream. See: World Wide Web, eMail, etc.

So far, the questions for mainstream people likely will be: -Can I delete it? -Can I cancel it? -Who do I complain to if things go wrong? I am not entirely sold yet, but the potential is definitely there.
