The nostr protocol doesn't give af. Doesn't censor anyone and quite generally it couldn't care less if you use it or not.

and then there is clients. Clients do different things based on whatever the product goal is and quite frankly there is a client for everyone. So if some clients add or remove stuff you don't like, use a different one. It's really that simple.

I find it great that some developers are experimenting with new clients to attract new users (in different ways). We can't expose nostr to enough markets to spread to new users. Some of them will be happy with the client they start with, others will dive down the nostr rabbit hole and explore and learn and the rest will bounce and it doesn't matter if that app has zaps or doesn't or uses g-authentication or key authentication. While nostr is great, it's not for everyone and never will be... just like pineapple pizza.

But yeah, if an app adds things you don't want to use, then don't use it but let them do their thing and stop turning everything into end of world alike dramas.
