Too many people are afraid to call bullshit. Nostr is filled with circle jerking yes men The minute you call someone or something out, nostriches get up in their feelings Nostr grants should be awarded to projects that already have traction, not ideas and MVPs, that’s how the fiat system works

The greatest censorship threat on nostr is the self-censorship circlejerk of the echo chamber itself Rather than build freedom tech people are building stupid social crap tech to say gm
Ok- so if I had the same complaints about Damus or CornyChat, what should I do about it? Call those projects out for being subjectively "bad"? Who decides what you're implying, if not the people who hold the Bitcoin? I can fund any project I want as a user, as are you. I am free to create an organization like OpenSats, as are you. You're free to speak up about whatever you want, but if you aren't offering a solution, it just sounds like complaining. I'm just here to defend ONOSENDAI as a project because I like it, so I don't really know how to better address your concerns here. Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
I’m calling bullshit on this. Grants should go to a wide range of projects based on their potential impact on Nostr overall. Low probability ideas that could have massive impact are exactly the types of things we should make space for. All progress happens on the margins.
