If you have an X account, could you educate him on Zapstore?
People on X completely unaware of the techtonic shifting power of what we are building on nostr.
Including legends like nostr:npub1ccsfkkfk46jsjtn80cup0vjn98slkheqd65t36tut822kddvdcxqxjdc57 :
"[...] it is obvious that a third Android app store is required, where apps that are not censored can be made available in the same secure way the other two stores operate. Doing this would take many tens of millions of dollars, but no one is doing it, or even talking about it."

I might be wrong but I remember once he shared a screenshot of 80k+ people that he had blocked. That was years ago. I don't even post on X anymore and today while visiting his profile I realised I'm blocked as well. It's definitely recent. His block list is probably 100k+ now
No wonder he doesn't know what the fuck is happening
You should ignore me and carry on building. Building is the only thing that matters; not what people say.
If you’re right, everything will change and everyone will benefit; that’s the only true measure when discussing supplanting the censorious and State restricted “app stores”.
You don’t need my or anyone else to approve of what you’re doing; your running software is vindication in itself, and your service being run by hundreds of millions of people, icing on the cake.
Don’t be dissuaded by anyone, don’t be discouraged, put off or made to doubt what you’re building. Plan carefully, address reality directly, comb your assumptions regularly.
Your work is needed, you are appreciated; you are the hero in the story. You chose to do the hard work, and that’s the act of a hero.
NEVER GIVE UP!
Thank you.
People wanted to make you aware of the undergoing effort to fix exactly what you described was needed - but you blocked everyone.
I respect you and you have an influential voice, that is why.
And yes, I most definitely will keep building regardless of your or others particular opinions.
Building is necessary but not sufficient. No product survives without awareness.
