Lol. Nostr is whatever you want it to be. For those that need it to be a privacy tool. It works, right now, wether you like it or not.
Also why can't it be a public protocol AND a privacy tool? That's exactly what TOR is, what is this artificial mutual exclusivity you're building up?
but anyways, what do I know, I've not been slaving away at this protocol and it's privacy aspects for years now.
