You asked him for examples of commons but I don't remember him giving any, except for Couchsurfing. I don't see how Couchsurfing qualifies since it was a private platform with governance rules entirely dictated by the owner of the website. Sure, there was a community there or something like that, but there are also communities on Facebook and no one says Facebook is a commons. I also don't understand how Cashu is an example of commons, is it because it's a protocol? Except for the fact that they expose a standardized HTTP API, the mints themselves are privately owned like any business. Unless you're trying to say the market in general is a commons.

The commons is not anti-market or anti-capitalist. It’s anyway of organizing a shared resource. You can and should do business and make money in a commons. That’s the weird thing where everyone thinks it’s some communist collectivist thing where everything is held in common. Nostr is a commons. We govern it together via the nips, relays, and clients. And not all of that software needs to be open source. Bitcoin is a commons.
