I disagree. Nostr can survive and thrive as a niche. It does not need to pander to the least common denominator. It does not need to dissolve its and become reddit or facebook.

Placating the masses is a recipe for growth but also homogeniety.

Let some killer app build on nostr, but nostr is a neutral protocol. Let it resist being embraced and eventually extinguished, like they did to email, and tried with xmpp.

Success is not determined by acceptance and spread, but resilience over time.

Venture capital mindset is r-selected.
