Don't assume. I wrote one of the first papers on federated identity with sun micro and the Canadian space sciences data project back in 98. I am imminently qualified for this discussion. I sold my first piece of code in 83. When I was just a kid. So don't assume my disagreement is from ignorance.

We centralized in early days because edge devices were weak and software platforms too fragmented to maintain standards. None of us wanted to.

Now the edge can handle the load. There is no excuse anymore for centralizing control of user data unless you want access to it.

I don't care.

Literally everything is centralized at first.

You sure you've learned how #nostr works?

Every events or notes is basically an portable blob of json data called "event".

ok. so you are a bit of an ill mannered person so far but will continue in good faith. stop explaining what the docs say. I have read them. thats why I thought nostr had a chance. Thats why i see the danger. If you dont see it then ok. carry on. I have almost given up on the tiny hope now anyway. Seems devs are hell bent on ruining the promise for convenience sake. As for everything centralized at first, thats for cnvenience of the devs and service provider. You are making an appeal to tradition btw so on the face of it your argument is invalid.

be well.
