Derek, who are the Nostriches? What is the philosophy of Nostr?

When I joined, I had very little idea that it's a Bitcoiners' community, but I had no doubts that it's all about freedom. Sadly, my confidence in this idea of freedom and Nostr diminishes with each passing day, and today might be the culmination of that uncertainty. Just now, Jack reposted the words: 'I’m not on Nostr for a following. I’m on Nostr for freedom.' I checked the profile of that person on X and learned that it's okay to come to Nostr for freedom, while supporting X with the blue mark and earning money from it. I doubt Jack is not aware of that. It's a relief to see that not all key figures of Nostr have blue checkmarks, though.

So, to answer your questions, whatever path you will take, please, don't build it on hypocrisy. If it's not killing it already, it will start eventually, unless I am still clueless about what Nostr is.

Nostriches are anyone that uses Nostr. The philosophy is social freedom. Then again, I'm just a dude. Nostr can be whoever and whatever you need it to be.

Jack is a weak man. If Nostrs somehow depends on him, it's doomed. But you're right; freedom doesn't mean that anyone has the right to demand that others do things they consider right. As such, I fall silent. I am just a girl. If I were in your position, I would continue developing Nostrs as a Bitcoin community. Typically, when something needs to be started, there are no doubts about it. Moreover, starting to develop this not solely as a Bitcoin community might still be feasible over time. Perhaps during this period, a deeper understanding will emerge regarding what should be done.
