NIP Bloat.

- Implementation possibilities are specd with less and less consideration for each other.

- many overlap in functionality but none are removed or deprecated for “backwards compatibility”.

- Some old school devs pull weight and don’t wanna change.

- some younger devs have no patience for discussion and “patient” integration of “good” ideas.

- devs are burnt out with the “bureaucracy” of maintaining a swamp of standards.

- nips are treated as standalone “islands” serving single use cases.

- inconsistency and inoperability creep across clients and relays, as gate keepers “give up”.

- Users become disillusioned with “the dream” of decentralized cooperation, as nostr dies a slow death due to dwindling adoption.
