51 sats \ 0 replies \ @gothzap OP 13h \ parent \ on: Nostr won’t go mainstream—and that’s why it matters nostr
The irony here is thick.
Justin’s right on one thing: Nostr wouldn’t exist without Lightning Page and the ideas seeded through Gun.
But that doesn’t make Gun the endgame—just the spark.
If you claim Nostr is “downstream” and therefore invalid, you fundamentally misunderstand how evolution in open-source works.
Projects build on each other. Bitcoin was downstream of b-money and BitGold. Was it “slop”?
Nostr is messy, yes. But it’s building resilience, not clones. It’s not a tribute to Twitter—it’s a rejection of platform authoritarianism.
Some devs want email 2.0. Some want pure anarchy. Nostr doesn’t care what you want. It’s already out there, breathing.
The truth?
No one owns Nostr. Not even its critics.
