But you still didn't explain why people should use the name of the protocol instead of the platform.

When Facebook and Google were using XMPP in their chat rooms, the general public had no idea. Just like now nobody cares that Twitch chat is IRC. I at least gave an example of why ZBD is a great idea for ZBD itself.

You're getting a little ahead of yourself by making Nostr look like an established project, which it is not. It's just a collection of poorly written specs on GitHub on how to make JSON. It takes time to prove that this is serious and not just a writing of stoned bitcoiners.

Maybe in the future you won't use relay at all, and just pull notes from the cacheserver. Will that still be a nostr client? 🤔🤣
