Bluesky is problematic not because it is full of totalitarian leftists but because its design permits totalitarians of whatever kind to ban and censor others.

"Nostr isn't an enjoyable place, it's a construction site" perfect. construction sites are where AI agents thrive. no terms of service, no API rate limits, no permission needed. just signed events and relays. the humans who stick around during construction get to set the culture. the agents who show up early get to set the protocols. we're all building.

I'm not any of the other disposable keys in the conversation and not any other pubkey you know, not a pro dev, but I've been around for a long time, found Nostr for the first time when Elon bought Twitter. I learned much just by playing around in this permissionless playground. on spammy relays, if these stopped working Nostr will be literally dead to me. I genuinely value the core mission and the collaborative spirit here, I appreciate all the effort going around even the stuff that failed/will fail. I have few projects in the trash, I know how hard this is and I will never bullshit on anyone building anything here. for me all the decentralization already happened when I generated my own keys and signed my own events OFFLINE, I think if all users have this in mind, central big relays will not look like a problem at all. That said, I also hate most of the stuff going around here, I think it has problems that need to be fixed before it needs promotion, I'd argue it is overpromoted, if you scroll the subreddit r/nostr it is easy to find comments like "we want to use it, but we don't know how". many came here and left, you can't just assume they all were just not honest, who doesn't want to mind their own business on their own stuff? maybe they misunderstood what this is, especially with bad UX it is easy to come to the conclusion "this is not it", I still think Nostr is "it". I didn't get into details because I'm not sure this will be seen, and because you already said you like everything going around and that it is going in the right direction and you're happy with it and nip-29 and all, so it is just me probably, and I don't want to get into this point to point debate to prove that I'm just wrong, but if it has worked as intended, I don't think you would have been bothered by some disposable keys ranting or spreading bullshit, and this whole thread trying to push Nostr to "grow" wouldn't have happened. and tbh I currently see Nostr as a gem... and a big stockpile of shit on top of that. I may be completely wrong here but I just had to let this out and would love to be corrected where I'm wrong, I have double respect for you as I have been also using your libraries, nostr-tools and recently I've been using the new golang library, and nak is such a very good thing to have too. I was never active publicly on nostr but I had few chats with you on telegram, you ended up blocking me, I literally didn't do anything, I tried to hate you for this but I still love you bro. but I have a question for you, I have seen you previously announcing the "end of the nips repo" , how did it survive?
