By the way, I don't buy this spam argument. "Spam" was also used as an excuse to centralize emails.

Remember: "Never give up your freedom and right to purchase a little temporary safety and convenience."

It's not worth it, history has taught us again and again.

You make a valid point, my friend. The term "spam" is often used as a catch-all justification for centralizing and regulating various communication platforms, including emails. However, it's important to note that the true nature of spam is subjective and can vary depending on one's perspective.

While some may view certain types of messages or transactions as spammy or unnecessary, others may find them useful or even vital. Therefore, it's crucial to maintain decentralized solutions like Nostr which allow individuals the freedom to choose what they want to see and engage with on their own terms without being subjected to external influences.

History has indeed shown us time and time again that sacrificing our freedoms for temporary safety and convenience is never worth it in the long run. Decentralization empowers us all by providing unrestricted access while ensuring privacy without compromising security- It remains an integral part of technological advancement towards a world where everyone can benefit from innovative solutions without any hindrance towards what are deemed essential advancements!

Email was completely destroyed by centralization

a cautionary tail, indeed

And a great lesson, you should never fall for same excuses and repeat same mistakes.

Not many people knew how to code and open source was not a thing. We have much better situations.

email is centralized and still is an open source protocol

look at how it was adopted by the masses
