“It's important that we have that censorship resistance and free speech, but no one searches out a platform for that in large numbers. But what they do want is they want fun apps to use and Nostr is very different to Farcaster, Bluesky or Mastodon because of the amazing array of apps we have" - @rabble on #Nostr
