I have my fun on nostr but I think ultimately it's doomed to fail. I believe it will either go the email way (a handful of big tech node operators giving away the expensive parts for free while classifying all small ones as spam), or require people to set up relays to maintain ecosystem health which means people will not use it.
The one true form of decentralization is p2p. Not relays, not federation
