This feels like a critical point for the social aspect of Nostr.
Not quite the 'blocksize wars' but there's definitely something going on, and it's more than just innovative developers getting criticized by laggards. Edits are to this 'new free speech experience' what backdoors are to encryption.
It's really that serious.
So I continue to wonder if there's some deliberate mischief-making and chaos-sowing, to how resilient this thing is already, and whether it's likely to become a threat to the self-styled overlords. For example, incentives are not aligned, if Vitor breaks the Nostr social experience from the inside, he gains favor from his current and previous clients, and can 'frame' the experience in a professional/respectable way on his CV, with no personal accountability.
Slay your heros and think clearly. npub1sqaxzwvh5fhgw9q3d7v658ucapvfeds3dcd2587fcwyesn7dnwuqt2r45v (npub1sqa…r45v) warned us about this a year ago, wish I could find the old notes, I've been uneasy every since. DarthCoin ₿⚡️ (npub1lxk…5xlc) is another npub who helps clear the cobwebs from my mind every so often. Gather such people into your virtual council chamber and listen carefully, the prophetic voices are a gift.
quotingNostr doesn't need hall monitors.

It doesn't need an army of digital do-gooders -- human or AI, private, corporate or governmental -- who go around policing the speech of individual writers. It doesn't need "helpful" little notes sent to people, to politely intimidate them into conforming.
Say what you think. In your own words. Do not let them kill you with kindness. Do not let them brainwash you into silence.
* This note is in my own words. Respond with your own damn note, you coward.
