How are Daily Active User numbers looking on #Nostr these days?

#AskNostr

Age verification laws are coming fast.

And, from my perspective, opponents are struggling to find impactful messaging to explain to the general public the damage they are about to do to freedom.

Or to propose alternate futures that address the underlying anxieties.

Sure, most folks that are here on #Nostr intuitively understand the dangers... And nod along when we gesture at the dangers of surveillance overreach.

But I worry that the common language for talking about these initiatives typically relies on some priors that are not universally shared outside people that live and breathe concerns about tech.

Saying that something is a surveillance dystopia works on me. But not the neighbors.

I'm guilty of being inside this language bubble too, and it's hard to escape.

Yet, when faced with politicians talking about protecting kids from bad things that parents feel they see right now... I worry that the communities doing pushback are struggling to:

1 -find framing that makes enough sense to the vast majority of people that they say 'ok this is net bad' and push back 2- find their own ways to productively connect with the anxieties that politicians are drawing on. E.g. worried parents. 3- offer things that are honest, well meaning alternative paths for the underlying problems

Anyone have thoughts on this? #AskNostr

Anyone come across good analyses of new US #tariffs .

Longer term projections a bonus. #AskNostr
