I'm not. She's making suggestions that add absurd amounts of overhead, communal decision-making and arbitrary inclusion. Looks like a recipe for a zoo of spam, low-quality projects, disinterested project leaders (they didn't even want to fill out a form?), arguments over moderation, and ultimately will _lead_ to a bureaucratic nightmare of upkeep just to keep a weak pulse.

I'm more in favor of few, focused, motivated parties making high-quality decisions with more authority over the resources they command. Fewer, authoritative, sovereign CEOs. Not a committee.

More like how we got Bitcoin, less like how governments run.

You just want to do business with jack I think 🫵

I just recognize when it's necessary to cathedral rather than to bazaar.

In early days when protocols and clients are emerging and being defined, you want focused consolidation of power. Imagine if fiatjaf had to write the original Nostr spec in collaboration with 25 other people, with every major choice going through a "decision making process"?

You open the bazaar later once certain core components are essentially frozen and immune.

Nah. The core components that will end up frozen and immune are ones like my relay concept, which don't require any closing of any bazaar. Closed bazaars are great for dying with lots of money, not so great for making core components that end up frozen and immune in the nature of the world
