Had a realization. As much as the monero shills can be annoying, their actions really reinforce how great nostr is.

We're effectively in bitcoin central. It's practically an echo chamber a lot of the time. And yet, none of us Bitcoiners can do a damn thing to stop these guys from building alternate clients and relays and systems on their darling shitcoin, and they could very easily use all of the same tech and development, go onto entirely different relays with little to no connections between, and it would all still work.

This protocol doesn't care if everyone's in the same group. And there's no way within it to stop people from building anything they decide to, even if it's moronic. And that's fucking awesome.
