I understand that. Zaps could be implemented the same way anywhere. Damus isn’t special in that sense, Twitter could do the same. You only need to look at 90% of the the big influencers on Twitter who moved and promoted Nostr… they always say something like “it’s better there, and zaps are a motivation”. And those are just the influencers… most common folk come for the same reason, by

Nostr, and Damus especially, aren’t proof of work, they centralised in the same way shitcoins are.

Sure they’re more resistant to censorship than you average social media. But are they some bitcoin-esque decentralised? No. Therefore I don’t get why we worship this protocol so much. Sure I’m being pedantic, but people are acting like it’s going to save the world. Our standards are low it seems

Nostr is just a websocket protocol for data exchange. A twitter clone is one use case. That’s why people are excited.

You are turned of by influencer types which is valid, but you are not fully understanding the ramifications of open, censorship resistant data exchange
