I don't understand *your* rhetoric, it doesn't vibe with me whatsoever.
nostr is a protocol, it is not too dissimilar from email or the web. viewing it any differently than you view email is a gross misjudgement.
I don't know what critical voices you're talking about, nor do I care.
Ever since day 1 of joining nostr I have selectively curated a list of people I follow that are creating the kind of content I want to see, and are sharing updates I want to see.
I have had nothing but positive interactions here, with the exception of the spam a few times, which is to be expected.
I'm also building my own app on nostr (animestr) to bring in the broader anime community into nostr.
The decentralization aspect, and the single "language" nostr apps speak in, will allow me to do something that's harder to do in a centralized network (especially for a bad developer like me)
