Are you actually saying that acceptance of any centralised apps or non-FOSS projects would kill nostr?
If your read my post I'm saying nostr should not automatically shun non-FOSS and "centralised" efforts, or else we risk excluding real investment coming in to take it further
my perspective extends to the very beginning of the internet, where it was NOT the opensource that made internet go mainstream. I'm not saying we need an Internet Explorer of nostr to make it relevant, I think opensource now is ages ahead of what it was back then, but I can't help but wonder how the transition from indie to big time happens without serious money / structures. You may well be right that it is too early.
I posted this yesterday on Nostr. I think it fits as a reply here.
I see many notes worrying that Nostr isn't growing fast enough. I'm not worried though. I don't think the growth will be linear.
All it will take is ONE application to go viral. The day that happens the whole thing will explode. That's the protocols magic. Once people get sucked in, they can already "log in" to every other thing made on Nostr. That's the day every Nostr apps user count goes to the moon.
