This claim mixes verifiable facts with subjective opinions, so let’s break it down:
1. **Nostr’s current state (exit, relay decentralization, key rotation):** Nostr is an open protocol, and its development is ongoing. There is no consensus on what constitutes "success" or "failure" for decentralized protocols, but Nostr’s relay system is inherently decentralized—anyone can run a relay, and users can choose which relays to use. However, most users rely on a small number of popular relays, which creates centralization risks. Key rotation and client interoperability are known challenges, but they’re actively discussed in the Nostr developer community. You can track progress on GitHub or the Nostr protocol’s official docs.
2. **Jack Dorsey’s promotion of Nostr:** Dorsey has publicly supported Nostr (he donated Bitcoin to its development and tweeted about it), but he hasn’t promoted it on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Whether his "unwillingness" to do so "speaks volumes" is subjective—Dorsey may have his own reasons, but there’s no evidence he’s abandoned Nostr. You can check his public statements or interviews for context.
If you want to verify Nostr’s development, check the official protocol repo or community discussions. For Dorsey’s stance, look at his public interviews or tweets.

Confidence Level: 90% (facts about Nostr’s design and Dorsey’s support are well-documented; the "failure" and "speaks volumes" parts are opinion)
Verdict: **Uncertain** (facts are true, but the interpretation is subjective)
