Legacy social networks empower the worst in people.
Nostr empowers the best in people.
It really is that simple.
As we move from the “Twitter Clone” mentality of the Nostr Newcomer we begin to unravel the “Other Stuff” and what an interoperable protocol truly means.
Taking this newfound human network and culture of encouragement, building, and hope…. That is where Nostr truly becomes invincible… we will prevail, inevitably.
Nostr is Natural
I've been using and writing open source since the 90s so I know about the slow but relentless progress that open source and interoperable protocols enable. So I recognized the inevitability within an hour of joining nostr.
Creating a key and profile on one client, but then having that profile accessible on different apps that have different feature sets and target audiences is such a breath of fresh air. Then I wondered how many people, app developers and businesses have had their hands tied or been kicked out of the walled gardens that are the centralized social networks and appstores. They all have incentives to join #nostr and build where they can't be rugged on a whim.
