Oh yea. Absolutely. It's incredible.

Best part is that there's no reason that should change with scale. As long as one continues to ignore global feeds and opt out of any forthcoming algorithmic relays or clients that they're not interested in, their experience of nostr - and their experience with their social graph, the actual humans - would stay exactly the same even if nostr had 100 million users.

That's the power of true dark forest tech: the right for you and your little tribe to be left alone by the wider population.

Reminds me of the golden days of the internet circa 92-96. MIRC and ICQ and tightly controlled bulletin boards. Really great shit. I have learned so much and helped ( I think) so many people through NOSTR this year. Really something. I need to find a way to effectively leverage these networks into my meatspace without fucking it up.

I've got some ideas for community relays that would make Nostr appropriate and useful for meatspace networks... I'll update here as those projects develop.

Nostr relay over radio meshnetwork for my local friends and family would be so..so fucking cool.
