You're just supposed to post stuff for your frens. Who cares about other "big accounts?" you're here. You have a core group of people that genuinely care about you. Does anything else really matter? 💚🫂

Yeah, the question is more:
Do I need Nostr to chat with my friends?
Apparently not. My GM note is not going to be censored on SimpleX, after all.
Nostr (kind 01) has to provide sufficient reward, to cover the additional risk and effort of chatting here (in public and without deletion, and with a new tech stack), rather than off-Nostr.
Rewards (for me) can be:
-- meet new frens, to chat with
-- be able to make Nostr-specific public announcements and have lots of people see them
-- easily find interesting things to read, on topics I care about
-- find people who are interested in the same things I'm interested in
-- chat with people I'm not frens with, but that can provide me with information or help on specific topics
-- see other people's Nostr-specific announcements and stay informed
Nostr needs to be able to provide me these things, smoothly and reliably, or the value-added is in question.
It's sad to watch, honestly.
Which part is sad?
"Nostr dev" complaining about reach and audience size, not understanding (or pretending not to) the nature of decentralized networks and their evolution and growth patterns.
Centralized or decentralized, the goal of a network is to reach people. That is the fundamental goal. If that is impaired, then there’s a fundamental problem and once again, the forest is missed for the trees.
He's just here to trash me with some concern-trolling.
