Block size wars come to nostr.

Noise: Pearl-clutchers joined Bluesky en masse when it started censoring more so they were less likely to encounter content running afoul of their fragile sensibilities!

Signal: Nostr boasts technology other platforms envy.

To analyze which protocol has more users at this stage and draw some lesson from it is absurd.

Which function grows faster, f(x) = 2x or f(x) = x^2?

Obviously the latter, though for x = 1, the former = 2, while the latter = 1. We are at x = 1 right now.

The more powerful function is obviously the one with the better axioms. The better axioms are the quality of the technology.

Freedom of speech is essential to that.

This midwit meddling and centralization is antithetical, and it’s why Bluesky is DOA IMO.

Just like the block size wars — “Make the blocks bigger to speed up medium of exchange and hence adoption.”

No, preserve the auditability of the network with small blocks so it’s secure first and foremost. Figure out the rest later.

Same argument under a different guise. Let’s ruin the entire point of this to juice growth! No, let’s keep the conspiracy theorists (who have been right 9 times out of 10 the last 5 years), the cranks, the misfits, the weirdos.
