Great take X has an unimpeachable moat around famous & powerful people. Bluesky is barely able to hang on this front, and it's mostly partisans who wanted to hedge (failing strategy) If we can't win the global town square performers, why not double down on community -- appeal to the 99% that have no voice on X

How do you reach those people?

Wom via their friends. Basically the q that you have been asking people: “if you like it here, what’s stopping you from getting your friends here?” More specifically, finding subgroups that evangelize to folks within their respective networks — whatever the equivalent of colleges for Facebook is these days. Maybe network states, or censored groups at the edges? Eg. 2A, regenerative ag, etc? Challenge is how to sequence gtm so that they “stack”. The chains like solana did not work well because crypto has tremendous narcissism of petty differences and doesn’t stack / compose well with other subgroups I also think regardless of gtm, bringing the app up to snuff from a community social standpoint: cleaning up threading on replies was a great example of something that was well overdue and dramatically improves the conversational experience Video another good example — gives us feature parity for normal social apps (text based comms tends to be more polarizing or high brow, neither of which screams community) Many other things here that could better enhance the ability of communities to coordinate, especially economically — crowdfund is a great example of this. The seed club app is very popular, and that’s a big tell

> More specifically, finding subgroups that evangelize to folks within their respective networks I don't think subgroups move. Individuals move. But then they don't have a reason to stick.

Identify the entire subgroup and onboard them all (at least most). @nikitabier was pretty clever with how he did this for his apps, but this is also how Tinder got its start going from campus to campus For Tinder it started with a college party with app download as entrance

You target an individual — a trailblazer / pioneer who then evangelizes to the subgroup Point is not to wholesale go after a subgroup, that’s where you get incongruities like Bluesky if you succeed in the short term (I agree with you, groups don’t resettle easily unless there’s serious threat)
