Knowing him means I chat to him alot. I wont disclose those chats, but he has made it clear "Its my project and I can do what I want". That's OK, but it should also be known. You have no idea the hard work that it took to get nostr to where it is, any fork is impractical. The core protocol can change on a whim. So saying "no one owns it", is inaccurate. That's the only simple point I was making. IMHO this was a mistake, nostr should have gone community driven when we had the large influx of devs, and before the exodus. But it is what it is.
