All these people wanting all the relays to talk to each other.

i'm over thinking there should be targeted topic/community relays.

You like cats? Cool, join the feline relay.

Bitcoin? Relays of only Bitcoin plebs.

Your relay choice is almost like an ad profile of what you're into. I think this will happen over time, but everyone right now just wants an exact clone of Twitter. That's just one small (albeit important) use case for nostr and I look forward to seeing innovation around relay connection/setup schemes.

Assimilate the fediverse mindset.

Not at all, the fediverse is where a server admin can dissolve your identity.

Blockchain is where the data store is as centralized as Facebook, just with a community-driven CDN instead of a commercial CDN (content distribution, not decentralization, network).

Nostr is where data can be truly decentralized. But the more you talk to Bitcoin enthusiasts, the more you realize they hate privacy and hate truly decentralized ledgers and networks.

They want everything massively, even globally centralized at the data and network layer. Then they want the central data store to be eternal and immutable and public. They hate privacy and decentralization at every level, and fight you on it when you suggest it.

I came here because I want to escape from Twitter's walled garden
