Freedom isn't free. Even in Nostr, even in fully open-source systems, if you don't invest in securing the freedoms you care for yourself, your user, and your data, they won't be there when you need them. As a community, as a protocol, we can facilitate that investment. But in the end, it's up to you to seal it and sustain it.

Neither one is fighting for you. There is nothing to decide if there isnt an option.

One supports FOSS the other supports investors.

Sure, but again, supporting FOSS doesn't mean that they are securing freedom for **yourself**. I feel like people don't really understand what it takes to secure one's own freedom. They just delegate the responsibility to benefactors out there (like opensats and others) and call it a day. That will help, but will never guarantee your freedom.

I get your point. But only bc the majority of my social circle is a few generations older then me.

Younger generations are not familiar with this idea of having to fight for things worth having.

No offense to younger generations, I am generalizing here. But they must first learn to crawl before they can run.

We've been running towards the "free stuff" for 40+ years as a society.
