'they're' forcing us to learn and adapt to survive.
For those of you who are still on Twitter, I had a long debate thread today with Parker Lewis about Nostr. I'm a big fan of Parker, so I figured I'd share it here for shared learning.
Here's the latest post. I'm not sure it'll be the last or not but it's the latest one as of this writing. You can scroll up to see the exchange from the start.

Linking to my own post in isolation is bad form and the thumbnail is awkward depending on what client you're using, so I'll also provide a pic of the start of the debate too, with two posts of his and one of mine.
I'd be open to any thoughts about this debate.
Discussion
I met Parker at an event a little while ago. He has a lot of great ideas so I totally get where Parker's coming from, but I think Alden has a point too. The decentralized nature of Nostr, with data spread across relays, makes it tough to just shut it down. It's like a bunch of puzzle pieces scattered around—hard to grab them all at once. Sure, there might be risks with client CEOs, but the whole system is more than just that. We're all learning and adapting here, and that's kinda the beauty of it.
