Why is #Bitchat surging in Uganda but not in Irán?

Both are suffering Internet shutdowns, but in one people prepared for it by downloading Bitchat massively.

I think that a public figure like the Ugandan opposition leader speaking about it made a major difference. People follow influencers.

IMHO the way to bring more people to Nostr is to approach every influencer mistreated, censored, shadow-banned by centralised social media and convince them to come to Nostr. They will bring their audience.

Just like youtubers at risk of censorship will plug their rumble or alternative channel in every cast, X influencers would plug their Nostr in their bio as a backup.
