Pretty much every claim that says “you could run your own… x y z” or “you can spin up your own …” is total nonsense. This is not how people use anything. Only the highly technical devs might do that but your average person will not fork any app or code base or run their own instance of any server .. on localhost 🤣 c’mon… get real.
Either it’s so easy everyone can do it, or it’s centralized.
Nostr has a lot going for it where a client dying off is not a big deal if other good client options exist. Can’t say the same for other protocols. But, we need multiple client options on multiple platforms at all times.
