Absolutely.

I've wondered how Nostr will change if/when it scales. Will it still be a fun, ragtag group of nerdy, DIY misfits held together by their common values of anti-censorship and decentralization?

Or, will it feel more like X and be harder to connect with like-minded individuals in a sea of "normies"?

It seems like the higher barrier to entry of Nostr has had a bit of a gatekeeping effect. But, as small waves of people are forced out or flee other platforms, many will find Nostr in a search for an alternative. Hopefully, we can hold onto our heritage and Nostr will still be the place we enjoy.

You’ve managed to put into words my exact thoughts. The first sentence of the last paragraph is so spot on. I’m torn between wanting it to scale but then also I always gatekeep stuff because if you don’t then it inevitably gets ruined by people because people suck.

I don’t think Nostr will ever get ruined though, there will just be a lot more people on it and it’ll be annoying because it’s obvious they will have zero idea how it operates. Same types of people that buy shit cousins thinking they’re gonna get rich overnight, all the same morons
