People characterize nostr as if it was a community, rather than a platform for communities.

But they don't characterize the WWW as "a bunch of computer nerds". People get that WWW is an open distributed platform. But they just don't understand this about nostr. If they did, they might be setting up their own tight knit communities of people following each other (and not following us). Like the Japanese community on nostr, which is a different community and less connected to us due to the language barrier.

People shouldn't complain too much about who they choose to follow.
