It seems to me that you are not only implying but also acknowledging that you need a community behind you— people to support you in your efforts to live freely and well while you and the state+banks give each other the middle finger. This is the crux of the matter for all of us, the core of our problems; from the 9 to 5 slave who wants a different lifestyle, the anti-state dude who’s debanked and censored, to the cypherpunks who want whatever it is cypherpunks want these days. But instead of unity and support, we get prominent nostr devs acting like jerks, regular users treating this is like just another twitter craving likes, zaps, and follows, and popular users with lots of followers accepting donations and lots of zaps while acting condescending 24/7 or taking a break to whine about stuff… We need figures like those revolutionaries and the few incorruptible union leaders who rallied to fight in the early 20th century, not just nostr leaders funded but dubious grants seeking adoption and a slice of the social media market.
