I wonder if the criticism comes from having a false assumption that there needs to be a single global state/view of “the network.” Nostr is different from Bitcoin in this way, and there is no single global view of “the nostr.” There is no global consensus that needs to be maintained.

I think that’s what’s happening here. And that was actually mentioned on the same panel iirc.
I always assumed that nostr will be random pockets of data that exist where the people who are interested in those will be able to involved in them.
Like the pocket of data that is for Japan, could be completely isolated from one in Greenland. And that’s totally fine.
Not everyone needs to have access to all the notes, everywhere, at all times.
