Nostr wouldn’t be where it is without Damus. If this project were to get phased out, that would be a massive blow to Nostr.

Speaking strictly from Primal’s perspective, we *need* projects like Damus to be successful. If we are to make a credible argument that Nostr is different from the legacy platforms, users need to have many good choices of clients and services.

One year is a long time in Nostr terms, and I am optimistic that Will and the team will figure this out. But if/when Damus and other projects introduce paid tiers, please consider the bigger picture when deciding whether to sign up. You won’t be making a decision just for yourself. At this early stage your support might help some projects survive, as well as change the trajectory of Nostr itself.
