I just realized that my life long opposition to platforms, their stupid accounts and walled garden silo bullshit, at its core comes from frustration.
Being aware that alternative ways of doing/organizing would be fundamentally better and possible, just made me dislike the current paradigm from the start.
I recon most people never had those a priori frustration, and as a result they/we now all experience the multitude of frustrations after the fact.

''We'' need to realize that ''we'' made the mistake in our behavior. ''We'' all went to had full of sites to sign up there, and ''We'' pretended that these corporate owned spaces were the public square, and ''We'' made ourselves dependent. I am not advocating for some collective action, the ''We'' is capitalized and in quotes for a reason, its just to point out that we ought to stop advocating for ''Them'' to change.

Take the following clip. ''I don't know''... thats just it. Between captured network effects and alternatives being shitty, people feel lost and defeated.


We are at the point that most if not every person is aware they dislike the current paradigm. They need to be convinced the alternative is here....for real this time.
Nostr for me primarily is a relieve from the frustration i described. It made sense to me, so i accept all its (hopefully initial) quirks. Unfortunately, regardless of the dislike people have for legacy platforms, it seems they hate quirks more.
