I'm on here and Mastodon. I know Mastodon isn't popular with Nostr "maxis" because instance runners have control, but I still like the Fediverse model for certain use cases.

I've seen Masto instances with this kind of atmosphere hit their "eternal September" and go through a huge culture shift when they got an influx of Twitter refugees. The good thing about the Fedi model vs Twitter is that if that happens on one instance it's easy enough to jump ship to another.

I fully expect the same eternal September to happen on Nostr :( however, by then I would hope we will have a mature ecosystem of paid relays, maybe even a bunch of niche/subject specific relays to make it easy for people to curate their feeds. Basically, choosing a relay is like choosing what pub to go to. Too many morons at the cheap Wetherspoons near the train station? Walk out and go to the little craft beer place down the alley instead :)
