We live in a society based on fake realities, where consensus is manufactured, dissent is algorithmically marginalized, and the boundary between persuasion and manipulation has collapsed. The response cannot be to create alternative walled gardens with "better" gatekeepers. It must be to eliminate the gates themselves.
Nostr is not salvation. It is an experiment in institutional design, grounded in the recognition that freedom is not a feature granted by platforms but a property that emerges from proper protocol architecture. It asks: What social forms become possible when communication infrastructure cannot be captured by concentrated power?
The answer to that question will be written by those who choose to build, to speak, and to think in spaces that cannot be owned. Not because such spaces are perfect, but because they remain contestable: open to revision, resistant to closure, generative of possibilities we cannot yet imagine.
