fair point, I'll grant you that.
> 1. In Pubky, you choose how much you want to trust in how you apply and use the system. It's all backstopped by the fact that you control your own public key domain. From there you can make any sort of system you want, sign everything, dont sign anything, run mirrors and data watchtowers, there's nothing stopping anything, it's just a new web, thanks to self-sovereign DNS.
Ok, so then what you are building is essentially a (slightly different) version of freenet, and perhaps i2p (tho mostly freenet). It's a good thing the world needs, and I completely support both of those projects, and perhaps your too, but this doesn't compete to nostr, you are solving different problems.
> 2. This is nonsense, ALL servers are permissioned, whether its relays or homeservers or hosted or self-hosted.
we are talking past each other. both things can be true at the same time. I will just grant that servers are permissioned, because it doesn't hurt my argument in the lsightest.
> Pubky handles application use cases by supporting modular indexers. Choose or create an index, and if you ever wanna verify the data, check the source homeserver.
and how is this more decentralized than nostr exactly?
