I will push back on one statement here about the notion of so-called "antisocials" (objecting to socialism ?)not always recognizing others needs or lacking some hypothetical sharing instinct.
At least in the case of autistic people, more so the issue is one of most exhibiting and learning social cues differently. This leads to receiving the culture (even family!) we are in differently, because there are few who have not had at least some continuous bad experience often due to factors totally out of any ones control like involuntary facial expressions. This makes the autistic mentally a nomad -more interrested in actualising a concrete vision of the real than conforming to social groups that likely think they are awkward anyway.
Theorists have noted a similarity to money/capitalism in the sense that autistics lack the normal community formed identity and so can often float (intellectually at least) between them very easily. There is less barrier to understanding foreign culture, language, animal language, nonhuman things like programming, math, computer and ai etc
This is similar to how money enables trustless extange between parties that don't know each other and lack the community ties that might make money somewhat unnecessary- and the objectivity of it is good for empowerment since it can be directly quantified in numeric form, which is much safer than being denied social clout for some ineffable reason such as"made awkward joke at party" or some such.

The social media fever has generally died down- the liabilities that were revealed in 2020 are fading in people's memories.
There needs to be some way for ownership of the identity to be monetized for them. Otherwise the energy cost and the deferred network opportunities don't jive.
I basically post to tradsocial to get Google search results.

Nostr is a protocol for running decentralized modernsocial
You own your account/social graph via your keypair.

Unclear on the relationship between fedimint and ecash.

If I had a major take away from covid- one of them would be that I would avoid making common cause with discriminatory people while trying to uphold some finer point of freedom.
You seem like a person who tries to go by logic so let me outline a principle I heard that changed my thought process.
It's the concept of negative liberty vs positive liberty. Freedom from vs freedom to.
"Freedom from" is not having some one coerce you. Don't tread on me
"Freedom to" is expanding one's capabilities- for example, no human has a natural ability to fly- but today this is something society works together to provide freedom of movement.
To me the person who discriminates reduces human autonomy by curtailing another person's freedom to.
As you have observed the vast majority of people who engage in such behaviors do not care at all about freedom-its entirely selfish and not in good faith. "Cancel culture" is a "fafo" situation that many people had coming.

For me opposition hinged around a principle of bodily autonomy- I believe no government should have a right to force someone to get a treatment.
Most people whol oudly followed the logic you outlined above did so convinced that the shots were sterilizing and would be a magic bullet solution- which I found absurd during the later phases when it had become clear that they were merely palliative at best. Threatening jobs for people who were 100% work from home was rediculous. I also think people who took the shot had broadly better outcomes- and many people who were against the vax here (usa) were incredibly cavalier, inconsiderrte, spread the virus without consideration of risks, etc. Many of the people have immediately been vindictively curtailing autonomy here- showing they learned nothing from the experience of covid.
Even so-I think it's useful to consider how to handle this if it happens again because very likely we are facing a future with what will likely be engineered viruses in it - having no clear template for dealing with viral outbreaks is now a proven threat/issue.

What's needed is the ability to better organise communities.
Personally I don't think nostr is technically any where near the stage of being a big normie melting pot, if from no other view than the state of the system itself is not ready for that.
It's far better for it to aim first at being a very vibrant string of interconnected niche communities or a protocol for ai marketplaces

Could not agree more strongly that the ability to create niche micro communities is a key feature of decentralized social media.
Different cultural groups should be able to create their space-
However-
It also needs to be analogs to a narrow back alley bar crawl- you need to be able to exit your favorite pub and go exploring.
The reason: private chats and discords kinda suck event though they try to fill this role.

No. Not really.
Nostr needs to build out its ability to have private communities that use the protocol/relays but have their own mods, standards, block lists-etc.
It's a technicle problem- nostr is like early email and very much still in development as you have likely noticed. I'm urging the devs here to build these tools to allow communities to define their own boundaries.

The other reason is that it can improve your feed by eliminating junk and auto bringing you relevant content. The issue is that you do not want them owning, selling, and manipulating this convenience.

One of the biggest barriers with nostr right now is the algorithms are not complex, so it feels like a private clubhouse. It reminds me of an old forum but if it was in twitter format. It works best for a small subculture. It needs the ability to interconnect many such islands and nurture unique, distict view points.

Nostr usecase-

It was mentioned that this data discovery was critical to the success of earlGoogle. Entities like google.
Is not nostr relatively neutrally positioned social graph of use? Owning the social graph feels like the biggest value add.

It's dated and the federated model is a cluster- too difficult to use.
You may not be aware but there are ways to link fedi and nostr- so to some extent the two are interlinked.
Nostr has some of the same problems with onboarding.
I am a fan of going in the direction of customisable clients that can start off with recommended packages of starter relays-follow lists that people can share around. This would be good for other niche communities that want to be here.
Nostr already seems to me to have more functionality built out than fedi.

Brutal but true...however...Systems like mastodon also had a small pool of regular users to begin with. This is a stronger core group than I have seen in most social. It functions waaay better than most others I've tried and the dev speed is amazing. It just needs another community to onboard.

One could say similar things about Saylor. I don't know what kind of timeline this etf is looking at, but it seems unlikely to me that they will begin purchasing much prior to halving- so the existing culture has a headstart.
Tech wise it's less clear to me, but to maintain cultural power I think emphasizing holding culture is key to maintain existing network . Lobbying( for example, mining regs got defeated) and pushing for adoption in other places like El Salvador, etc. Also very important.
