if micro-decentralization is about relays, clients, etc., maybe there’s a macro view centered on the protocols themselves? growth matters as PoC, but maybe each protocol - nostr, bluesky, or others - will end up building its own village of like-minded people?

Nostr is the only one starting as an open protocol (that I know of).
Bluesky seems very closed, and even their proposed federation model is far from open. This is still governance, dressed up differently.
These villages you speak of can (and I would argue eventually will) all happen here, with different flavors, settings, filters, whatever… an open protocol lets this happen organically. Closed protocols by definition have an upper limit on growth. Sure they could somehow be part of this movement at the outset, but they’ll die out to an open protocol like Nostr eventually once it takes off
thanks, i need to read more on bluesky.
i think the biggest challenge today is figuring out who we want to speak to.
“find your niche and then go one level deeper” is usually a solid starting point for growth. nostr is amazing, and i know exactly what promise i’m into. the trick, though, is defining a group out of the cyber early adopters (probably all of us here today).
