Yes. That's what I'd like to see more of in practice. More relationship building, more transparency, and more trust.

I was probably one of the oddball that realized very quickly when using nostr for the first time that it was actually expensive. I asked and was told to not worry about it. So I didn't. But now I see more grumbling and, well, it's just whining, from certain directions. It's barely been 6 months since I started using nostr. In those six months, so much has happened, but not a whole lot has been done in an open discussion on how we the early and few, want to influence and build the nostr of the future in a sustainable, respectful manner. I can't code, but I sure can see some of the roadblocks ahead and wanted to bring my concerns out to have them kicked around by #nostriches at large.
