By the way, I don't think Damus is a threat at all. I may have thought that multiple times in the past, but in the past 4 months I have been agreeing wholeheartedly with all your comments and decisions and thinking (again) that Damus is a force of good and cheering for it.
I didn't give you access to the NIPs repo again because you have clearly said you don't like the discussions there. Even then I merged your latest spec changes to NIP-23. By the way, in the same issue that you got upset about and said you wouldn't do NIPs anymore -- the image metadata stuff that included blurhash etc -- I agreed with you and supported you, and I think it was sad that you gave up that fight and created a "damus standards" repo or something like that.
