Nostr has a real value proposition with identity sovereignty. As the most banned person in history, it is the only place I seem to be able to post and have some marginal guarantee that people will be able to read what I write.

This is why Google, for example, is notorious for making products and just abruptly shutting them down, some of them well used and actually very nice. The goal isn’t to actually make things people want to use. I miss Google Reader, it was excellent. Sometimes someone at Google does some worthwhile science even. That Google management intended for this to all be just a way to say “look at all the projects we are developing at any given time! We aren’t a search company, we’re actually a company that does so many things at any given time, we are competing with practically half the planet!” doesn’t diminish the earnest contribution of the people who built those good products or contributed to scientific development. The system is big enough that you can marginally benefit from this situation by circumstance without being morally complicit.
