This is a really important point.
We can’t ever fully achieve decentralization and censorship resistance while being beholden to these companies.
Smart phones are absurdly convenient and powerful, but they are closed systems with centralized power.

this is why nostr devs should be desktop-first, and will and vitor can go fuck themselves, they are like gold medalists in the special olympics
Well, I wouldn’t go that far 😅 I think it’s good people are trying, but my point is that it may be a losing battle.
Personally, I don’t think this problem is solved until someone makes an OS simple enough for less technical users that can be ran on existing phones. Building a new phone from the ground up is incredibly capital intensive.
We shouldn’t just abandon mobile because tech giants control them. We need to figure out how to break their control.
well i go very that far, and for the reason you just explained, and the kudos for them reaching out uto the heathens is valorous but not the central task of this protocol, since it is bulit on sand
