Our contributors are left disheartened most days, doubting why we moved to #Nostr as our primary platform for information dissemination.
But since a large number of us are from tech and crypto, we understand the separation of a decentralized product from its fanatic users.
Let's hope this is just the we're-early, like it was when a bunch of us joined Twatter in 2008, and bought #Bitcoin in the years that followed.
quotingI’m genuinely confused at how many people on Nostr are weirdly authoritarian. I mean it’s a permissionless decentralised social protocol. You’d think people who used it would not be enthusiastic nationalists who believed in an authoritarian state.

It’s like bitcoiners who are excited about the US government integrating bitcoin in to the central banking and federal reserve system. The entire point of bitcoin was to create a financial system in opposition to Wall Street and central banks.
It confuses me. I also get confused leftists who think the solution is to deplatform people they oppose, but thankfully the “delete their account” folks aren’t much on Nostr. It’s the right leaning authoritarianism here which confuses me.
